This Is a incredibly nice vintage Chevrolet Corvair Van that has been restored to better than new condition with the combination of the best improvements for power , reliability ,and handling .
I've owned this van for over 22 years and it has primarily been been used for comfortable transportation to car shows , club events, or to haul when needed. I located this very nice rust free van in Clinton S.C. in about 1992 while searching for a replacement for a 1963 van I owned and wanted to replace. The van was very original and solid and I believe because of some of the options, it was a fleet vehicle for a power co-op or phone co. It has a 2R125 VIN ,which is a 1962 Corvair Panel Van, with options including side roll up windows,rear door windows, 3 rows of seats, Powerglide transmission, gasoline heater, accessory 4 way flashers, and a two way radio. I started the restoration in the mid 90's ,completing the van in 2003. The van was completely chemically stripped, treated and epoxy primed. Any rust issues were cut out and new metal was welded in . I employed a professional body man for help with the final prep work. Also all of the doors were removed and primed inside and out and the hinges were rebuilt. I blocked it and re-primed 2 more times. It was painted in the fall of 2003 with 2 stage Dupont Chroma One and Chroma Clear In 1966 K code Artesian Turquoise and Light Neutral. The interior is Stock FC Desert Fawn color and was refinished after the exterior. I have Extra paint that will go with the van, The paint codes are also attached to the glove box. Tinted side glass was never a option for Corvair F.C,s , But this one has it. While all of the glass was out ,I had custom green tint glass cut and tempered for all 12 windows ,along with a new windshield. All of the window channels ,window seals , window felts ,and vent window rubber has been replaced. The rear floors were in great condition and were refinished in cargo bed liner. All of the exterior bright work was replaced or re-plated at the time I restored it. All of the Deluxe interior panels from my 1963 were professionally recovered along with new Clark 1962 Deluxe upholstery. The Engine I acquired from a fellow FC enthusiast in 1992 , and rebuilt to better than new specs for high torque and mid range power when coupled to the Powerglide. Its a 1966 XXY replacement truck engine rebuilt with .010 /.010 crank nitrided after machining by Charlotte Crankshaft ,welded crank gear ,fully balanced, .040 TRW forged pistons, Clarks cylinders,molly rings,std copper head gaskets,889 cam straight up,failsafe gear,top cover bolted to baffle. The heads are 110 truck heads with the exhaust rotators,close clearance Otto Guides ,New valves, 3 angle valve job and No Valve seals, with thermistor in the left head and careful attention paid to cooling air flow. The shrouds are powder coated with folded fin cooler. Always run on Synthetic engine,gear ,and ATF. No oil consumption between 3000 mi oil changes , pulls like crazy and has no problem holding 75 on the freeway with 3:55 axle. Big hills do not bother it. It runs perfect and needs nothing. I just serviced all of the fluids in May 2014. The instruments include a Tach, oil temp, and cylinder head temp gauges. There are no leaks ,smoke or abnormal noises. The van has within the past year, had 4 new KYB shocks, starter solenoid, fuel tank float, new exhaust crossover pipe, brake fluid flush, brakes checked and adjusted. The tires are fairly new BFG's 225/70-14 on14x7 wheels. With front and rear sway bars added. The van goes straight down the road and stops firm and has no pulling. I have driven it a lot on the interstate and I have no concerns regarding taking a road trip with it. The paint has heald up very well for the age ,mostly due to proper prep and meticulous maintenance and storage . But it is a 11 year old so it does show some slight signs of wear here and there . It has never been repainted anywhere or had accident damage. But I do have a fair amount of paint left for and needed repair. I have service records, photos, and a fat file of receipts from the restoration ,that will go with the van. If you would like to see the van it is located in Campobello SC 29322. My number is 828 342 0953. I also have it for sale locally and I do reserve the right to end the auction early. I am a long time Corsa member and a certified repair specialist. Feel free to call and ask questions. |

Why an independent rear suspension for GM's new, full-sized SUVs wasn't easy
Mon, Dec 23 2019A Motor Trend report last month laid out how Cadillac's 4.2-lier twin-turbo Blackwing V8 could be an orphan due to cost concerns in the GM empire. Last-minute chassis changes to Cadillac's new sedans and XT6 crossover led to engine bays that couldn't fit the Blackwing. On the SUV side, according to the report, the new independent rear suspension for big people haulers cost so much to implement that GM ruled out reworking the Escalade to accept the Blackwing. At least one commenter rightly asked how could a suspension swallow that much money. A new piece in Motor Trend has the answer. The excellent Alissa Priddle spoke to Tim Herrick, GM's executive chief engineer for full-size trucks, about why the clean-sheet IRS cost "multimillions of dollars."Â First, GM would need to build a new body shop at the Arlington, Texas plant that assembles the automaker's big SUVs to stamp the numerous wholly new parts and panels accommodating an IRS. Then GM would need to design and pay for a new assembly process. On top of those up-front costs, there was the incremental cost of the four-link IRS components being more expensive than those in the trucks' former leaf-sprung solid axles. Herrick endured so many rejections for so long that he remembers the date and time when he got approval for the new unit. He said it came down to a meeting where he told a higher-up, "I'll make you a deal: If we get to the reveal, or if we launch this and you think this was a dumb idea, I'll hand you my badge and let you walk me out." Head to Motor Trend to read the full story. Based on Herrick being on stage to help present the new SUVs to the press, and on our First Ride in the new Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban at GM's Milford Proving Grounds, it appears this will have a happy ending for all involved. Furthermore, since Herrick worked on the T1 platform that supports the big SUVs as well as the light- and heavy-duty pickups, he understood the demands on the commercial side, too. That could be why when Roadshow asked Tim Asoklis, chief engineer of the Tahoe and Suburban, if the new IRS could endure life in the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, Asoklis answered, "Oh, absolutely."
