1964 Corvair Van Series 95
Simple, economical 110 motor runs quiet and smoke free. This van was bought by the seller as a very straight" rust free" body with no motor, Originally owned by Bell Telephone in Utah as a service truck.. Not a Greenbriar which had seats in back. Body was absolutely rest free. Seller operates an automotive rehab shop and put this together to haul auto body parts etc, but found he could not physically sit in the vehicle after completion. Professionally painted ( Base Coat Clear Coat) two years ago with a striking 2009 Corvette color " Sunburst Orange" Over $1000 in paint materials alone. New tires, battery, master cylinder, wheel cylinders, etc. Engine is a very healthy used motor from a locally available Corvair Monza that had been damaged in front. Note the rare 4 speed manual trans replaces the more common 3 speed. Vintage look is greatly enhanced with original Chevy " Rally Sport" wheels with complete set of Beauty Rings and Center Caps. All windows and doors work as they should. Glass is excellent. Ductwork not hooked up for heater, gas gauge shows full all the time (we wish it was true). New radial 50 series tires look great. Odometer shows 42,000 which feels about right as body feels tight and suspension is solid.
This vehicle would make a" head turning" daily driver for anyone with a hankering for an affordable classic, business related, work vehicle. Interior has reupholstered bench seat in "like new" condition with new carpet and the back has had a black rubberized coating sprayed on for easy care.
Should be roadworthy enough for a mechanically inclined individual to drive anywhere but seller really never did use it and it has been parked for two years. Starts and runs well and its simple design is easy to maintain.
Includes a spare parts motor and a nice pile other bits and pieces that seller had collected. Clean title, note well, this vehicle has never been severely damaged or wrecked.
You will be pleased with the value of this classic.

When I put the Van up on the hoist to do the pictures underneath I did note a couple of items.
There is an area of the right hand side rocker panel that has been pushed up ( like the van was hung upon a boulder at one time) and it has torn the support sheet metal a bit. The picture looks like it has rusted thru but that is not the case, the metal is just torn a bit. The rocker panel is pushed up a bit as a result.( maybe 3/8 of an inch). You can barely notice the damage if you are not underneath. I also included a picture of the left side which shows what it looks like with no damage.
Also on the bottom of the doors where the drain holes are, there is some surface rust but no perforations that was visible. A new owner should treat these areas with rust proofer to eliminate any further oxidation. This van, according to our sources, sat for 20 years so the underside has normal oxidation. A coat of POR 15 would make it look new.
I am the sellers friend who put this on ebay for him. I am out of town until Tuesday eve the 28th of June so if you have questions you can can call him directly at 1 801 8954. His name is Gene Stevens.

Why the Corvette is Chevrolet's billion-dollar baby
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Edmunds has worked up a piece that tries to figure out just how much the global Chevrolet Corvette economy is worth, a spitballed guesstimate putting the number at more than $2.5 billion with the proviso that the number is probably low. It starts by taking Corvette's new car sales of 14,132 units last year, which would equate to $714,725,900 (including destination) assuming ever car sold was a base coupe with no options. In the final tally, a little extra padding gets that number up to $750,000,000.
But that's not all. Consider this: Many of the almost 1.4 million Corvettes produced over the model's history are still on the road. There are new parts being produced and aftermarket companies like Mid-America Motorworks deaing business, that single Illinois company doing more than $40 million a year in sales. There are the Corvette events large and small, restorers who do nothing but Corvettes, salvage yards that deal only in used Corvette parts and the Corvette magazines where owners find all this stuff.
And then there are the Corvette-themed tchotchkes, every single one of which provides a tiny contribution to the huge licensing royalties that General Motors collects every year. The article admits there's no way to come to an accurate number, but it just goes to show how valuable one specific model can be to a company.
Veyron and C7 Corvette join cast of Transformers 4
Wed, 29 May 2013Like 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!
Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
