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:"Paint scratch rear quarter"

This auction is for a true survivor. The odometer only shows 56,000 miles and I believe this to be accurate by the condition of the car. It's a 64 Spyder and belongs to the neighbors of a friend of mine and they ask me to list it for them. The owner has recently had open heart surgery and feels it is time to part with the car. It's an outstanding example of a true survivor. 


 As far as I can tell the only restoration done to the car was a repaint. even though it was repainted I couldn't find any spots that either any dents or rust were repaired. There is currently a scratch on the left rear quarter panel about 6" below the belt line and another towards the rear upper part of the quarter.. This doesn't appear to be any metal damage but the paint should be redone in this area.I tried to get some decent pictures of the undercarriage to show any rust through but I couldn't find any. The bottom of the doors are very solid with only some light surface rust and paint flaking. The only rust I saw was inside the trunk area where the inner fender meets the floor pan. And this shows only as swelling in the seem area about 12" long. No holes at all. 
   
 The interior looks untouched as well as the undercarriage. The seats are in good condition for their age with no rips that I could see. The door panels could use some work as well as the drivers side arm rest. The carpet does show some wear but it is still intact and very useable. The top appears to have been replaced at some time and it is currently in nice shape with no rips. It also goes up and down very smoothly with no issues. There is also a cover to snap over the top when it is in the down position. I didn't try to install it at the time I looked at the car. All the gauges are in nice shape and work well except for the gas gauge which the owner says isn't reading correctly. The factory tach works smoothly. It has a radio but I didn't think to try it to see if it also works.

  The engine runs and sounds great. The owner did have some carb work done and whom ever did the work got it right. The car runs out great and It will sit and idle without loading up for as long as you would ever need it too. The clutch and transmission works equally as well. The clutch operates very smoothly either pulling out or cruising down the road. 

  This car in the condition it is in is a rare find. It is a great example of a pretty well all original Corvair Spyder convertible. It still has all 4 of it's original Spyder hubcaps. It would make a wonderful driver for those Sunday drives with the top down. 

  As always please if you have any questions do not hesitate to call and ask. If I do not have an answer I will do my best to find out and get back to you.

Chevrolet Captiva looks mildly refreshed and ready for family duty

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

We showed you Chevrolet's major debut yesterday, the 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible, but General Motors is making a big push for Bowtie consideration in Europe, so it's also introducing the updated Captiva crossover here at the Geneva Motor Show.
While still based on the same platform as North America's fleet-only Captiva Sport (which is effectively a rebadged Saturn Vue), the Captiva is available in both five- and seven-seat iterations, and it looks far more modern. That's particularly the case with this updated model, which features revamped front- and rear ends that include restyled bumpers, grilles and LED taillamps, among other changes.
As before, the midsize Theta-platform CUV will be available in both front- and all-wheel drive, and is expected to carry a range of four- and six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines. Important US programming note: Chevrolet sources tell us that America's Captiva Sport will not receive these updates.

C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."

Corvette Stingray designer lists five goals of new exterior shape

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

Redesigning an icon is a difficult task, especially when you've got a blank sheet of paper in front of you and the all-new C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is intended to be your final objective.
General Motors has released a new short video featuring Kirk Bennion of the Corvette's exterior design team, talking about the challenges of sculpting Chevrolet's new flagship sports car and the five goals the team had to keep in mind as it worked. In the end, Bennion's team had the pleasure of seeing their hard work take center stage as the Corvette captured the world's eyes at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
