The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"1962 Corvair Greenbrier. Same owner last 27 years. Driven three times weekly until 10 years ago, then once a week until 7 years ago (when gas tank was removed for cleaning).Garage stored most of ownership, all of last 10 years. Typical FC wheel well rust, passenger side floor pan needs to be replaced. Remainder of passenger compartment has minimal surface rust. Original 1962 rubber floor mats now covered by front to rear black carpeting. Middle seat can face front or back. Body is in excellent shape,(some bondo work done when I bought it on right rear corner) chrome bumpers front and rear, all glass present and intact (needs fuzzies). 110 engine (non-original) with stock 4-speed transmission. Hasn't been started in last 7 years, but turns easily by hand/belt. All six doors open and close securely (need weatherstripping). This is a worthwhile restoration project, or with just a bit of work, reliable daily driver."

I have owned this 'Brier for 27 years, drove it approximately 3 times per week until ten years ago when I closed my business, then once a week until seven years ago when it was pretty much put into storage. Excellent body with some minor exceptions-fantastic for a vehicle of its age, over 50 years now. It has original four speed transmission, all original glass with no cracks, interior was redone some years ago but looks virtually new. 

Vehicle hasn't been run in past seven years since gas tank was removed for cleaning (then lost my job and moved a couple of times-van was always garage stored) but engine turns easily by hand or using the fan belt. 
Cons: will need passenger side floor replaced, a little work on driver's side, only other rust through on interior is a small (less than 1") hole about halfway back at edge of passenger compartment on driver's side. Typical FC wheel well rust, some minor rock ding rust on front. Brakes have lost pressure probably due to rotted rubber lines. Needs new headliner, dash should be repainted. Van will need weatherstripping and fuzzies. Since it is non-running, it will need to be trailered.
Pros: This vehicle is original right down to front and center rubber floor mats (now covered by front to rear carpeting I had made for vehicle. Interior alone is worth the cost of the low reserve . Garage stored most of ownership, all of last 10 years. Middle seat can face front or back. Chrome bumpers front and rear. Both padded visors and tire cover match interior vinyl.
This is an excellent restoration project, or with just a bit of work, a reliable daily driver.

Mother's Day Suggestion No. 2,506

Thu, 02 May 2013

With 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.

Veyron and C7 Corvette join cast of Transformers 4

Wed, 29 May 2013

Like the Fast & Furious franchise, the Michael Bay-directed series of Transformers movies has become known as much for its bad acting as its impressive lineup of cars. As filming just started for Transformers 4, Bay's website has confirmed two new cars for the next installment as well as a makeover for everyone's favorite tractor trailer hero, Optimus Prime.
Joining the cast of T4 are a "race-inspired" Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. While Bay's website did not supply names for either car, Bugatti is reporting on its Facebook page that the Veyron will join the Autobots. Speaking of the good guys, top Autobot Optimus Prime is getting an all-new body based on a Western Star with a gaudy appearance that was seemingly inspired by Trick My Truck - right down to the six smoke stacks and side pipes!
