1964 Corvair Spyder 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 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
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.

Kurt Busch to shake and bake (again) in Ricky Bobby car at Talladega
Sat, 19 Oct 2013Kurt Busch will channel Ricky Bobby for another NASCAR race, this time driving a Wonder-sponsored Chevrolet SS, in this weekend's Camping World RV Sales 500 at the Talladega Motor Speedway. Unlike past tie-ins, though, there's actually an element of sponsorship here (the "Me" car was done when Busch was running on a team without sponsorship).
It was arranged by Flower Foods, the new owner of the Wonder brand. Wonder was part of the bankrupt Hostess company, which temporarily exited the US market 2012, and set off the Great Twinkie Shortage.
Busch has made something of a habit of channeling characters from famous racing movies, most recently running Tom Cruise's City Chevrolet livery from Days of Thunder in a Nationwide Series race earlier this year. Busch kicked off his movie-inspired antics, though, at Talladega in 2012, when he raced El Diablo's ("It's like... Spanish for like a fighting chicken") "Me" car complete with a cougar on the hood. He even went so far as to channel the lovable idiot that is Ricky Bobby during the race, dropping a few catchphrases about macchiatos and slingshots.
Driving McLaren's Sports Car and 'The Best Corvette' at the M1 Concourse | AutoblogVR
Wed, Apr 12 2017There's nothing better than a track day. Great cars on a great track are always great fun. Recently, we had the opportunity to check out the new M1 Concourse in Pontiac, MI, with two of the coolest cars in the game; a McLaren 570S and a Corvette Grand Sport. Driving the 570S was Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore, and he didn't hold back. Getting behind the wheel of the McLaren, Greg explains that although this is McLaren's idea of a sports car, "it's all relative." Topping out at 204 miles per hour with 562 horsepower, there's no two ways about it: this thing is a monster. While the 570S was fantastic, we had another sports car we wanted to drive and editor-in-chief Mike Austin was just the man for the job. Enter the Corvette Grand Sport. Mike pushed all 460 horses of the 'Vette to the limit and came away impressed with the car, even calling it "the best Corvette." Comparing it to its more powerful sibling, the Z06, Mike goes so far as to say the Z06 has too much power, while the Grand Sport seems to be the third bear's bowl of porridge in the Corvette family... It's just right. We captured all the action of the day with 360° cameras so you can feel like you're right there in the car sitting shotgun with us! You can check out the McLaren and Corvette laps above, but the best way to view them is through the AutoblogVR app, where you can watch the videos on your VR headset or in a nice swivel-y office chair so you can take in the sights all around you. Each month, new episodes will launch on the AutoblogVR App. We'll be posting them here on Autoblog, but for the best experience, head over to the app, which you can download for free from the App store and Google Play. Be sure to try it with a cardboard viewer, too!
