1965 Chevrolet Corvair Corsa Convertible, 4-speed, White/red Interior New Roof on 2040-cars
Las Vegas, Nevada, United States
For Sale is a 1965 Chevy Corvair Corsa Convertible with @104K Miles on It. It is 140 HP model.
It has been garaged in Las Vegas and has been a reliable method of transport for over a decade. The car has been in my family for over 2 decades and was originally purchased out of Texas. My dad gave it to me when he retired. I did the following to it (with the help of Marty Katz): 1) Installed Seat Belts. 2) Regular Maintenance 3) Put on a new roof last year. 4) Tires are fairly new with little mileage The car has been taken care of by Marty Katz locally in Las Vegas. If you don't know Marty and own a Corvair or an Austin, you should. He's great and loves these machines. I have to sell the car due to a divorce. This is a gorgeous car and is one of my favorites. I would like for it to go to a good home. Here are the only issues: 1) Recently horn developed an intermittent short. This is annoying but is an easy fix. You also get a lot more attention, which is a plus. 2) Battery died due to #1 3) Windshield Fluid Pump never worked. Ever. I put fluid in. I think I have an original fluid container somewhere in the trunk. 4) AM Radio has loud static at times. This might be normal. I'm at the age where I barely remember AM Radio. I really like listening to old country when I drive in Vegas. Old country listening is optional upon purchase. 5) The front seats were replaced when the car had an overhaul-probably about 30 years ago. They are in great shape. The rear bench is original, I think. Rear Bench has seatbelts, too. I wanted them installed for when I drove my nieces and nephews around. 6) Car has been in the garage for about half a year. We hosed the Vegas dust off of it. Which explains the water. Assume you need to put additive in the gas. This is a good idea. Please only use High Octane gas in this car. IF you aren't going to drive it much keep the fuel low and put premium in as soon as you can. 7) The driver interior door cover is a bit warped. Not bad but I figured I would mention it. (I took a photo) There is a slight tear on the dash. If you look carefully you can find it. 8) The lighter is missing. It might be under the seat. 9) I would rate this about a 7.5- I drove it not showed it. With a bit of TLC you can easily get 9-10. It needs a car wash from the dust and the stuff from me cruising around. You might want to re-paint it in a few years and re-cover the rear seat later if you are a stickler, but this is a beautiful car that always turns heads. Yep, I should have washed it well before the photos but I had limited time. I am including an AM/FM Radio and an extra mirror. If you are near Vegas and want to drive it I can go get a battery and we can go for a ride. I noticed that some of the interior photos are washed out. This is a BRIGHT red interior. The Vegas sun was very bright today. Please ignore any spurious water droplets. I can find no bubbling, which isn't surprising. The paint is intact. I've included a photo of one of the vents. The trunk is completely dry and sealed. The car sounds awesome. And no, you don't get the cool centennial Vegas plates. Please contact me if you have any additional questions. It's a great car, and I'm sad to see it go. Car does have a reserve and is subject to prior sale in the next week as it is advertised locally. But I'll be happier when my wife goes. Do a good deed today; buy my car. Or as Henny Youngman said, "Take my wife, please!" If you intend to take her, please tell me. I can keep the car if that happens. Would prefer wire transfer payment, if possible. Cash is good, too. Money order is OK, but I would prefer a local bank branch to OK it. Transport is the responsibility of purchaser. It is being stored at my old house, so the faster it gets out of there, the better. Thank you for your time. |

Chevy Colorado gets Midnight, Trail Boss editions
Mon, Aug 3 2015After introducing a gamut of special editions for the full-size Silverado, Chevrolet is offering a pair of new packages for its midsize Colorado. Following in the Silverado's footsteps, the Colorado Midnight Edition just blacks out all the things. There's a black grille, black Bowtie, and exclusive 18-inch wheels. They happen to be black, as well. In terms of functional changes, the Midnight Edition adds a spray-in bedliner, tonneau cover, and unique sill plates. Potential owners won't be limited on engine options and body styles here, as the blacked-out trim can be added to extended and crew cab bodies, in two- or four-wheel drive models, and with all of the pickup's available engines, including the upcoming Duramax diesel. The only limiting factor is the actual trim level – you'll need to settle for the mid-grade LT. Don't worry, though. The heftier, top-of-the-line Z71 will be offered with its own unique package, called the Trail Boss. As expected, it goes big on off-road character, with LED trail lighting and aggressive Goodyear Wrangler DuraTec tires. There are also black 17-inch wheels, newly flared fenders, side steps, and like the Midnight Edition, a blacked-out grille and spray-in bedliner. Also like the Midnight Edition, the only limit to adding the Trail Boss is that you opt for the Z71 trim. Engines, drivetrains, and body styles are not fixed. Look for both trucks at your local Chevrolet dealer this fall. Until then, scroll down for the official press release. 2016 Chevy Colorado Special Models Dressed to Impress Midnight Edition, Z71 Trail Boss complement capability with customized style 2015-08-03 DETROIT – On the street or on the trail, the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado's Midnight Edition and Z71 Trail Boss bring bolder choices to customers looking to make a visual statement with their truck. The special editions roll into Chevrolet dealerships this fall, with distinctly tailored appearances that blend custom design cues with Colorado's popular options and accessories. The Midnight Edition evokes the aesthetic of an urban tuner vehicle, while the Z71 Trail Boss is designed for terrain where the pavement ends. "These are aggressive editions of one of the country's hottest-selling truck, demonstrating the personalization that's possible with Chevrolet accessories, whether it's for the street, trail or both," said Tony Johnson, Colorado marketing manager.
GM veteran Bryan Nesbitt tapped to head Buick design
Sat, Jun 6 2015General Motors styling veteran Bryan Nesbitt (pictured above) took over a new role on Monday as executive director of global Buick design and global architectures. Andrew Smith, who previously did that job and also coordinated the look for Cadillac, has remained in charge of the pen at Caddy with this shift. Nesbitt rose to prominence when he designed the Chrysler PT Cruiser, according to Automotive News. He joined GM in 2001 and has been there ever since in multiple high-level roles. In 2007, he was appointed vice president of design for North America and was later briefly general manager of Cadillac in 2009-2010. Nesbitt took over as the vice president of GM's international operations design in China in 2011. This shuffle also moves Ken Parkinson, currently styling boss for Chevrolet trucks, to China as design vice president there. In addition, John Cafaro becomes the person in charge of the look for Chevy globally, rather than previously splitting that role between cars and trucks with Parkinson. GM Global Design Leadership Changes – effective June 1, 2015. Bryan Nesbitt, Design Vice President, GM China will repatriate to North America and assume the position of Executive Director, Global Buick and Global Architectures. He will be located in Warren, MI. Bryan will be the design Champion for Buick in the US and China. Ken Parkinson, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Trucks and Global Architecture will assume the position of Design Vice President, GM China. He will be based in Shanghai, China.

In addition, he will continue to lead the Global Color & Trim team. He will be based in Warren, Michigan. John Cafaro, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Cars will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Chevrolet. He will be the design Champion for Chevrolet. In addition, John will lead the exterior components and accessories team. He will continue to be based in Warren, MI. The roles and responsibilities of Helen Emsley, Mark Adams, Carlos Barba, Clay Dean, Michael Simcoe, and Teckla Rhoades remain the same.

GM CEO Barra says 'we are selling every truck we can build'
Tue, Jun 14 2022DETROIT — General Motors Chief Executive Mary Barra said on Monday the automaker is "selling every truck we can build" and expanding North American truck-building capacity, even as U.S. gasoline prices hit record highs. Barra made her comments during the automaker's annual shareholder meeting. GM is pursuing a two-track strategy: Investing heavily in electric vehicles for North America, China and other markets, and funding those investments by trying to maximize profits from its North American combustion pickup truck and large SUV lineups. Barra said GM is planning higher-priced versions of its Silverado large pickup and its large SUV models. GM and its Detroit rivals Ford Motor Co and Stellantis NV rely heavily on sales of large pickup trucks and SUVs for global profits. High U.S. gasoline prices in the past have undermined consumer demand for relatively inefficient models. Nominal pump prices hit an average of above $5 a gallon for the first time ever last week, the federal government said Friday. GM is ramping up production of EVs. Barra said the Cadillac Lyriq electric sport utility is sold out through 2023. In response to shareholder questions, Barra said the "clear priority" for using cash generated by its operations is to "accelerate our EV plans." She did not rule out share buybacks or other approaches to returning cash to shareholders. GM still expects to increase production this year by 25-30%, despite continuing pressure on semiconductor supplies globally. Barra said GM is working to redesign vehicles to reduce the number of processors required by 95%. Barra serves as GM's board chair and CEO. GM shareholders overwhelmingly rejected a proposal to separate those roles.
