This is a very special Corvair. I puchased the car several years ago from a dealership, as it had been a trade in. I suspect that whoever had this super restoration done probably passed and whoever inhertied the car didn't know what it was.
This car is totally professionally rebuilt from top to bottom. Every part of the car is like brand new, ie wiring, lights, chrome, engine, tranny, interior, underbody, trunk, engine compartment, the more you look, the better it gets.. There is not one spec of rust anywhere, no body dings, suspension is outstanding, tranmission is tight, and the motor runs very will, with th 4 carb setup (this is a 1965 engine)
I had the carbs rebuilt by a long time dedicated Corvair mechanic in Black Mountain NC and he fixed the gas tank float while he had it. I also replaced both rear axel bearings with rebuilt units from Clarks Corvair. Other than that, I've driven to NC to have the title validated with there investigation which is required on all cars over 15 years old. This is to verify that the car wasn't stolen, rebuilt,, kit car, etc and mine passed just fine. The trip added over 1,000 miles to the car and it was a very nice ride, especially with the cruise control.
The car probably started out life as a Monza, but is now Spydered as far as badging and dash. As stated the engine is the 1965 140hp model, the seats are cloth from some other car, the tilting steering wheel with the cruise paddle is out of a later model Chevy. Look at the pictures, they really show the quality of this car, especially take not of the trunk and the dual master cylinder , boosted brake job. No one I've talked to has seen this in a Corvair. And the attention given to the engine bay, it is a work of art itself. Power top works perfectly and there is a white boot cover, but I don't use it as I put the top up and down a lot.
This car needs absolutely nothing, it's perfect as it is. So if you buy it, just drive it and change the oil.

Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future
Wed, 19 Nov 2014The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
Use this PowerPoint when convincing your spouse to let you buy a Corvette
Thu, 14 Feb 2013When you are not the one in charge of the purse strings, creativity is a must when trying to get the string-holder to bankroll that next shiny object you just can't live without.
When I was a kid, I decided that life wasn't worth living if it weren't in pursuit of owning a GMC Typhoon. My 12-year-old self crafted a fiscal strategy that, when combined with my offer of a 49-percent share of ownership in the car in return for my parents' contribution of 80-percent of the purchase price, would see me behind the wheel of a Typhoon by the time I hit college. They walked away from the negotiating table and, the economic climate of the 8th grade being what it was at the time, another partner wasn't found before the Typhoon was discontinued.
Roy El-Rayes, however, has succeeded where 12-year-old me failed, and he did it by using the sort of professionalism that only a PowerPoint presentation can provide, along with some humor and bold-faced flattery.
Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
