1963 Corvair Monza Spyder Convertible

This car was originally a California car. The owners moved to Minnesota in the mid 90's and after one year there traded the car in to a small dealership. A girl from CT, going to college in MN, purchased the car and drove it there for her tenure in college and then drove it back to CT. It is believed that the dealership changed the color from a cream color to the current "burgundy". It is also believed that they changed out the entire drivetrain/running gear to that of a 1964 Monza Spyder including the wiring harness too. It is unclear how many miles may be on the car, although the odometer reads 29,374.

The car was then purchased in the late 90's by the current owner, driven a short bit and put away with the idea of doing a restoration. That was over 20 years ago. 2 years ago the car came out of storage and was recommissioned to be driven again.

The car starts right up and runs strong, pulls hard through the gears and the compression is up around 120 for all six cylinders. However there is a clicking noise that has been diagnosed by several Corvair experts as a ridge in one of the cylinders as all of the valves are moving and free and the bearings were found to be good.

The flat six puts out 150 HP in a 2400 lb car, so she moves surprisingly quick. Mated to a four speed, you can pick your gear for the best RPM to use for optimum enjoyment.

When the car was recently recommissioned, the oil and filter was changed out and Hemmings ZDDP oil used. New gas tank, filters, pump and sending unit were installed. New Cap, rotor, plugs and wires installed and the brake system was done over including some line replacement, e-brake cable and master cylinder. LED taillights and electronic blinker set up.

The body is fairly solid, the floors were replaced when the car was purchased by this owner. There is some rust through in the typical rear wheel well openings and surface rust throughout a good deal of the undercarriage. Four vintage ET mags were sourced when first purchased.

Many new or better parts are included with the sale:

Bumpers, headlight surrounds, emblems,
license plate surround and correct '63 grill bar and script emblem. Set
of NOS wiper blade refills for red dot Trico blades, new in box walnut
shift knob (Clark's), real leather lace on steering wheel cover (black
w/ red stitching). Set of blue LED bulbs for dash lights, good used visors, extra stock wheel,new exhaust crossover pipe w/gaskets, extra gaskets, new fan belt, two sets of factory shop manuals (one very nice, one in 3 ring binders for shop use), MN title and several other Corvair books.

Great little driver, mechanically sorted needs some body work and paint.

She can be enjoyed for only $5000

Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions, comments, offers or to schedule a time to see her.

Thank you for the interest.

The Jitterbugs somersaulted at the 1986 Chicago Auto Show for the Chevy Nova

Tue, Dec 30 2014

Judging by the vintage videos that the Chicago Auto Show has been uploading, if you wanted to check out the latest vehicles and watch some dancers in the same place in the late '80s and early '90s, then the Windy City event was definitely the place to be. We've already seen the Footlockers pitching the Cavalier in '88 and a troupe of women singing about the Geo brand in '91. Apparently, the trend went back even further, though. Just take a look at this group called the Jitterbugs selling some badge-engineered products from Chevrolet at the 1986 show. Flanked by the Chevy Nova and Spectrum, these guys managed to do a few pretty impressive jumps and somersaults but mixed them with some rather uninspired spins, as well. Also, wait for 1:24 into the clip to see the least enthusiastic backup dancers that the world has ever known. The Jitterbugs are even further proof that Chevy's habit of mixing dancing and its vehicles goes back even further than the Volt.

Chevy confirms 2016 Camaro will have wheels, brakes

Thu, Apr 9 2015

Good news, everyone! Chevrolet has issued yet another round of teaser images and information about the sixth-generation Camaro, set to debut in Detroit on May 16. This time around, Chevy's teaser images confirm that the new car will not only have wheels and tires (Goodyear Eagle F1s, no less), but brakes as well. On top of that, we now know that the new Camaro will be 28-percent stiffer than the outgoing model. "The more rigid body structure allowed the engineers to more precisely calibrate the steering and suspension systems because they didn't have to compensate for chassis flex. The lighter structure also enabled the size and mass of elements such as the wheels, tires and brakes to be scaled accordingly," GM said in a press release, which you can read below. We've already learned that the new coupe will be 200 pounds lighter than its predecessor, has a bunch of unique parts, and according to GM's Mark Reuss, will outperform the Ford Mustang in every way. Now, it's only a matter of time before we see the sixth-gen Camaro, but surely not before Chevy issues even more teasers and information. Related Video: 2016 Camaro is Stronger, Lighter and More Responsive Computer aided engineering contributes to 28 percent greater structural stiffness DETROIT – The engineering team spent 9 million hours of computational time honing the driving experience of the all-new 2016 Chevrolet Camaro before the first prototype turned a wheel. The structural modeling led to the Gen 6 Camaro being 28 percent stiffer than the current model. "The modeling abilities of computer aided engineering are advancing at incredible rates," said Jim Karlavage, Camaro program engineering manager. "Today, we can accurately model opportunities to add torsional strength without adding unnecessary mass. The result is a lighter, stiffer structure that benefits every aspect of the driving experience." The more rigid body structure allowed the engineers to more precisely calibrate the steering and suspension systems because they didn't have to compensate for chassis flex. The lighter structure also enabled the size and mass of elements such as the wheels, tires and brakes to be scaled accordingly. "The structural weight savings are compounded by opportunities to reduce un-sprung weight," said Karlavage.
