1965 Corvair Monza Corsa Convertible, Four Speed, Rare Evening Orchid Color on 2040-cars
Year:1965
Mileage:106233
Location:
Chattanooga, Tennessee, United States
|
Just finished every mile of the Great Race from Maine to Florida! This 1965 Corvair convertible got more attention than any of the 104 vehicles in the 2014 Great Race. This car ran all 2,400 miles of the event and came in 31st overall in competition. And it used less than a quart of oil in 2,500 miles and never ran hot! Ever want an affordable convertible that you can drive anywhere, well here it is.
It is a four speed and four single barrel carbs. This car started life as a Monza but it has had a Corsa dash added and the Monza badges removed. It looks like it was restored in the 1980s and it has held up well. It was not an original Evening Orchid car from the factory, but I was told by the guy I bought it from that it was restored by a well-known Corvair guy. It has some fiberglass repair, but it has obviously held up well. The interior appears to be original, and is usable as is. The passenger seat has pulled apart at the seam about five or six inches long (an easy fix). The car has four new tires (Maxis radials) just before the Great Race, so they have 2,500 miles on them.
Convertible top looks to be four or five years old and in great shape. The plastic window is excellent.
Please know that this is a driver and not a 100-point show car. It has a few scratches, nicks and such as you would except in a car that is nearly 50 years old and was restored 25 years ago. If you want to fly in and drive it home, I will pick you up at the airport. You can drive this car across the country. I can possibly deliver for a fee and a plane ticket home. I encourage you to come look at this car if you are interested before bidding.
Please do not ask the reserve price -- it is very reasonably priced for how reliable the car is. If you have any questions on this great little car, I will be happy to try to answer them as quickly as possible.
I will add trunk and engine compartment photos as soon as possible.

Six-week production shutdown planned for 2016 Chevy Volt
Thu, Apr 9 2015It's no surprise that GM is winding down production of the first-gen Chevy Volt as it prepares to start building the second-gen for a launch in the second half of this year, but for now, things are proceeding as planned, according to Chevrolet spokesperson Michelle Malcho. Malcho told AutoblogGreen that GM "is still making first generation Volt" and that there has been no announcement about when that will change. The only details she would divulge is that, "It will be this summer." "Halting Chevrolet Volt production in anticipation of the all-new 2016 model year is a smart move for GM," Akshay Anand, an analyst at Kelley Blue Book's KBB.com, said in a statement. "[The move] allows for less inventory and incentives on the outgoing model. Hybrid and alternative fuel vehicle sales have been declining for some time now, with gas prices well below the summer prices of 2014." Volt production will cease in the weeks before the traditional two-week auto plant shutdown over the July 4 holiday. A high inventory of Volts is a factor in the production cuts, but not the only one, Malcho said. The plant construction, engineering changes and pre-production plans for the new Volt and CT6 all were part of the decision, she said. Nationwide, there is about a 200-day supply of Volts on dealer lots (roughly 100 days in California, the car's biggest market), according to the Detroit Free Press, which says there will be a six-week retooling period (twice as long as normal, but other sources say the shutdown will be four weeks long) at GM's Hamtramck plant this summer to get ready for the second-gen model. The 2016 Volt will get an increase in all-electric range to 50 miles and will then get 41 miles per gallon when the battery runs out. It also has a fifth seat that straddles the battery tunnel and a larger li-ion battery. Related Video: The AP contributed to this report.

2022 Chevy Silverado HD gains Multi-Flex tailgate as an option
Mon, May 17 2021GM is spreading the Multi-Pro Tailgate love around its truck lineup, and the Silverado HD is the latest pickup to gain the option. Just like the 2021 Silverado 1500, Chevy uses the “Multi-Flex” name for it in the HD, eschewing GMCÂ’s “Multi-Pro” branding for the bowtie vehicles. YouÂ’ll be able to option the tailgate on 2022 model year Silverado 2500HD and 3500HD models. ItÂ’ll be available optionally in every trim, so thereÂ’s no need to grab a more expensive trim to gain access to the trick tailgate — youÂ’re also not required to take it in higher trims. Functionality is the same as the standard Silverado and Sierra. The primary gate opens and closes like any other tailgate out there. ThereÂ’s a primary gate load stopper that allows you to put the gate down and still keep things from flying out the back (it can also be arranged such that the load stopper is at a higher height by using the inner gateÂ’s stopper). The inner gate folds down perpendicular to the ground to allow closer access to the bed. A full-width step is available if you fold both “gates” down and pop out the inner panel. And lastly, the inner gate can be lowered to use it as a small work space. You can watch the short video above to get a quick run through of all the positions, or scroll through the gallery at the top of this post. Besides the tailgate, Chevy says the 2022 Silverado HD is gaining a new Greenstone Metallic exterior paint color. Other changes for 2022 were not detailed at this time, but Chevy says the trucks with this tailgate should be available sometime this summer. Related video:
