1961 Chevy Corvair Rampside Pickup Truck. Highly Collectible!! on 2040-cars
Angleton, Texas, United States
|
1961 Corvair Rampside Pickup Truck. Most unusual eye catching truck. First year Rampside model, updated with 1964 features, such as though the gas tank shift linkage for easier shifting. Generator replaced with alternator, manual choke with automatic choke, red painted wheels (as seen in one or two of the pictures) with factory "mag" wheels, and brake lines replaced with stainless steel lines. Wheel cylinders may be in need to be rebuilt. Engine needs repair, my mechanic was revving up the engine to 6 or 7 thousand revs when it stopped abruptly with a ka lunk bump bump. it seemed to come from the #6 cylinder. To me it sounded like a connecting rod gave out, but I haven't opened the engine to see. Other than that, the window glass is 100%, with just a hint of windshield scratch. Body has only one dent, a 3" circle one near the radio antenna. All 4 tires show very little tread wear. Rust appears on the corner of the doors, pictures show the worst ones. The truck comes with a bench seat out of a corvair van, great for giving the beauty queen and her first and second runners up a ride in a local parade. The horn has been replaced with a after market one that gives you the choice of 25 different sounds including Ah-hoo-ga and "wolf whistle." Included are parts to add dual flame throwers to the exhaust system. To see what this truck truck could become google "Jay Leno Rampside pickup." I would like to fix it my self as the parts are available and reasonably price, but I suffer from Parkinson's Syndrome and don't have the stamina to do the repairs. it has advanced to a stage that I can't do repairs any more. |

Refreshed 2014 Camaro confirmed for New York debut
Thu, 07 Mar 2013We've already seen leaked specs and potential spy shots, but the refreshed 2014 Chevrolet Camaro will make its official debut at the New York Auto Show in a few weeks.
Besides a tweaked exterior and the possibility of a high-output LS7 under the hood, we really don't know much else about the 2014 Camaro, but here's hoping for an improved interior, too.
In addition to the refreshed Camaro, Chevrolet will also be showing off the recently introduced Chevrolet SS, making its debut on the auto show circuit, and we'll also get our first look at the C7 Corvette coupe and convertible side-by-side.
2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel arrives with 42 mpg for $25,695*
Thu, 07 Feb 2013The last time General Motors had a diesel passenger car in the US, it was the 1.8-liter 1986 Chevette. At the 2013 Chicago Auto Show today, GM is unveiling the much-anticipated 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel. The compact bows with a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine that boasts 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, with full twist coming on at just 2,000 rpm. What's more, the common-rail, direct-injection diesel features an overboost function that allows the engine to deliver up to 280 lb-ft of torque for 10 seconds at a time. Even with 10 more horsepower and 110 more pound-feet of torque than the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder in the Cruze, the 2.0-liter diesel engine can return up to 42 mpg (highway) bolted to its six-speed automatic transmission.
If you're counting, that figure meets the less powerful Cruze Eco with a six-speed manual transmission. More importantly, the auto transmission Cruze Diesel matches its main competition, the Volkswagen Jetta TDI, in highway fuel economy. The Cruze 2.0 TD (as it will be badged) can also handle up to 20 percent biodiesel (B20), whereas the Jetta is rated only for B5. General Motors has not released city fuel economy for its newest diesel, but we do know how much it will cost you to jump behind the driver's seat.
GM will kindly ask for $25,695, plus an $810 destination fee. That marks a $2,115 premium over a loaded Cruze LTZ Auto and $2,640 more than the Jetta TDI, though the MSRP will net you a leather interior, 17-inch alloy wheels and an Aero Performance Package, as well as a two-year maintenance plan and five-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Compared to the gas-powered Cruze, you also lose a couple cubic feet of rear cargo space thanks to a 17-liter diesel emission fluid tank. That urea fluid, which helps put the clean in clean diesel, will need to be refilled at least every 10,000 miles.
Mother's Day Suggestion No. 2,506
Thu, 02 May 2013With Mother's Day coming up, we're always looking for new gift ideas to celebrate the occasion, but hot laps around a track might not be the best suggestion for Darius Khashabi. In a video posted on YouTube, Khashabi straps his mom into the passenger seat of his C6 Corvette Z06 for some laps around Sonoma Raceway (formerly Infineon Raceway) at "60 percent" with comical results.
Now this isn't the first time Mama Khashabi has gotten seat time in her son's car around a track, as his YouTube page shows him pulling a similar stunt - with similar results - around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca last year. Scroll down for the video, but know that the action really gets going at around the 1:40 mark.
