1964 Corvair Spyder Monza Turbo Convertible

The most desirable of the Chevrolet Corvais as it was the last year of the original body style with Improved rear independent suspension and first year of the larger displacement engine. The engine with the car is a 1966 180 Monza turbo the top of the turbo models for the cover.

 For a size comparison the early model Corvair is very similar in size to a modern sedan like a new BMW 328.

 

The car is at the half way point of full restoration – Body work is done externally the car was stripped to bare metal and all patches were made with metal. Then the body was repainted in DuPont black, color sanding, cut and buffing has not been done yet.

 

The custom wheels on the car are Western 30 spoke turbine wheels custom machined to fit with builit knock off cones and 62 Chevrolet spinners similar to what was used on the 1965-66 Corvette. 

 

The 1964 Corvair had full body trim rock panel and wheel well. The trim comes with the car though needs to be straightened. Many new parts come with the car mirrors, door handles. The grill bar presently shown is from a 62 car and the 64 grill bar I have and will install The Monza spyder interment panel will come spare set of gages as well and Hurst shifter with quick shirt for the 4 speed transmission. Radio I have a restored AM/FM GM radio to replace the AM radio. Steering column is in the process of being converted to a 1969 collapsible safety column. Seats are heated seats from a Saab 900 turbo  some interior work and painting of the interior panels of the car is required. The car has been converted to front disk brakes. All new brake lines installed with steel braded flexible lines. Aluminum chrome plated dual master cylinder and residual valves. The rear suspension is completely restored with all new bushings, everything was blasted and powder coated and new grade 8 bolts installed. Clean new rear suspension with KYB high pressure Gas shocks Cleaned and panted underside of the car tunnel cover is powder coated fuel tank cleaned and painted and coated internally. The front suspension is completely restored with all new bushings and ball joints everything was blasted and powder coated and new grade 8 bolts installed with exception to the steering tie rods. Steering box was completely rebuilt. . The engine is a 180 turbo 1966 – highest power factory corvair engine with Offfenhauser deep sump and valve cover and a high flow oil pump. The engine looks to have very low miles on it hash marks from honing are still visible , as I was told by previous owner that it had less than 10K. The engine still needs to be toughly cleaned and reassembled with new gaskets and seals. The plan was to convert the turbo system to blow through using a Weber side draft or EFI and water to air intercooler, Many of components for turbo system upgrade have been purchased and come with the car. I have spent 20 K on the car and would like 7K for it this is a forced sale as I am moving overseas and the country I am moving to Indonesia dose not allow the importation of used vehicles.

 

Complete set of mandrel exhaust bends and Borla stainless steel muffler is included as well.

 

Two Corvair specialist in restoration have seen the car and both told me the car if I keep going the way I am will have the best restored early model Corvair they have seen in a long time.

Sunday Drive: Tracking Tokyo's top performers

Sun, Oct 29 2017

The big news of the week mostly came from Tokyo. All of Japan's biggest automakers made waves at the Motor Show, but the winner of the event has to be Mazda. The big Vision Coupe and little Kai Concept stole the show, won our hearts, and earned a ton of attention for the automaker. We can't wait to see how these two concepts impact the design, engineering, and technology of future production models. Take a look at our mega image gallery post below to see everything in high-resolution glory. Interestingly, the single biggest click-magnet of the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show was the BMW X2. We shouldn't be surprised. Crossovers of all shapes and sizes dominate the American marketplace, and the X2 is clearly the most attractive of BMW's even-numbered, coupe-influenced X models. Plus, it's headed for production, with sales starting in the spring of 2018. Moving past the Tokyo Motor Show, Autoblog readers are apparently very interested in the 2019 Chevy Camaro. Spy shots of just about every iteration of Chevy's muscle car lit up the 'net last week, leaving us very interested in seeing what's hiding behind all that camouflage. As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry. 2017 Tokyo Motor Show | Mega Gallery Mazda Vision Coupe | Tokyo Motor Show's big, sensuous 4-door Mazda Kai concept hints at a more muscular, refined Mazda3 2018 BMW X2 crossover revealed, adorned in gold and silver 2019 Chevrolet Camaro: 1LT, SS, ZL1 all spied with updated styling

CES 2022 was huge for EVs | Autoblog Podcast #711

Fri, Jan 7 2022

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor, Green, John Beltz Snyder. CES took place this week, and there were some nice electric surprises from automakers, especially General Motors. John has been driving the Ram 1500 Power Wagon, as well as what seems to be its polar opposite, the electric Mini Cooper SE. Greg talks about the differences between the Acura TLX A-Spec long-termer (which is back in the shop) and the Type S loaner that's filling in for it. John's also got some interesting thoughts on leather interiors. Finally, the editors reach into the mailbag and help a repeat customer decide on a suitable replacement for a 2008 Lexus GX 470 in this week's Spend My Money segment.

2014 Chevrolet Impala [w/video]

Fri, 15 Mar 2013

Can A Fleet Queen Become a Fullsize King?
On paper, the Chevrolet Impala is a pretty strong seller, posting annual sales that have hovered right around 170,000 units for the last two years, but it only takes one trip to practically any rental car agency to discover where the majority of those sales have come from. In fact, General Motors told Autoblog that a full 70 percent of Impala sales last year went to fleet companies for things like rental cars and government vehicles. Logic tells us that this is neither good for resale values nor name equity, so Chevrolet is getting ready to roll out an all-new Impala with improved comfort, styling and technology, hoping to turn the tables on its retail-to-fleet ratio.
Chevrolet's sedans have come on quite strong in the last few months with the introduction of the Cruze diesel and the SS sedan, but while these will likely be low-volume sellers, there's more pressure for the new Impala to perform well as GM looks to slash fleet sales and compete with the wide variety of full-size sub-luxury sedans. Riding on a platform shared with the Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac XTS, the 2014 Impala will compete against the Hyundai Azera, Ford Taurus and Toyota Avalon on the more traditional side, while also looking to take a bite out of somewhat sportier models like the Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger twins and the Nissan Maxima. We headed to sunny San Diego to see if this totally new Impala can stand on its own without the assistance of fleet companies and rental agencies. [w/video
