1964 Chevrolet Corvair Rampside Pickup Nice on 2040-cars
Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States
|
Here is a pretty rare 1964 Chevrolet Corvair Rampside pickup. 1964 was the last year for the
Rampside, and only 850 were built. About 140 are said to remain.
This one is a nice looking driver. It came from Oregon, and the previous owner had a Maaco paint job done. Looks great from 10 feet but does have some minor blemishes and dings. No serious rust, only a few small areas. Under side of left rear corner panel has some rust out. Also left side under engine cover has some rust perforation. Nothing structural or serious. Underbody is solid. Previous owner also installed a 65-66 140 h.p. four carburetor engine which runs great and is very peppy. Two of the carb ports are blocked off. Both carbs were professionally rebuilt. It has two Harley-Davidson mufflers which work well and give the engine a great sound. The four speed transmission has the later design shifter and works well, along with the clutch. I resealed the engine, but it still leaks a little from the oil pan and transmission. Fresh oil and all filters changed. Has electric fuel pump. Almost everything works on this pickup, including the original accessory windshield washer with under dash fluid reservoir. The original AM radio sounds good. All lights, both inside and outside are working. The left turn signal does have to be cancelled manually. Also, the fuel gauge s not working. The gas tank was cleaned and sealed by previous owner. Tires have decent tread, but are pretty old and probably not worthy of a long highway trip. Glass is all good. The windshield does have a wiper scuff mark. Brakes work well and I recently replaced the master cylinder. The four latches for the ramp and tailgate work fine. Overall this is a very sharp looking pickup. Not a perfect show vehicle, just a good running original driver which attracts a lot of attention. Clear Colorado title in my name, but not plated.

Balance in cash or cashier's check when vehicle picked up, within 7 days, unless other arrangements agreed upon. |

Chevy shows much-improved 2014 Corvette interior in new video
Mon, 11 Feb 2013If you want a closer look at what went into designing and building the interior for the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, we've got just the thing. General Motors has released a new video detailing the cabin's evolution from conception to execution, complete with commentary from Ryan Vaughn, performance car interior design manager with Chevrolet. The quick clip details how manufacturing, engineering and design within General Motors worked together from the first sketches to ensure no compromises had to be made later down the line. How novel.
With plenty of hides traced with contrast stitching and available real carbon fiber trim, the cabin looks to be a few hundred miles ahead of the C6. Given how readily critics derided the previous generation for its cabin, the C7 should make writers work a little harder to find something to complain about. Check out the video below for yourself.
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
C7 Corvette turbo with 1,000 horsepower promised from Hennessey
Mon, 25 Feb 2013If you can't wait for the next-generation Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Hennessey says they will have you covered. The Texas-based company has announced it will offer a spate of upgrades for the 2014 Corvette ranging from a range of bolt-on options all the way up to a 1,000-horsepower, twin-turbo system. Buyers can start with a cold air intake, cat-back exhaust or stainless steel long-tube headers, but Hennessey says it will also offer up three stages of forced induction mayhem should those bits and baubles not provide enough thrust.
Those choices start with a supercharger system good for up to 700 hp, though Hennessey will gladly ditch the blower in favor of two turbos. Doing so will spin the crank to the tune of 800 horsepower all the way up to a certifiably ludicrous 1,000 ponies. There's no word on how much these tricks will cost you - or when they will be available, as we're guessing they haven't gotten their hands on the car yet - but you can head over to the Hennessey site to drop them a line if you're curious.
