1965 Chevrolet Corvair Corsa Convertible, 4-speed, White/red Interior New Roof on 2040-cars
Las Vegas, Nevada, United States
|
For Sale is a 1965 Chevy Corvair Corsa Convertible with @104K Miles on It. It is 140 HP model.
It has been garaged in Las Vegas and has been a reliable method of transport for over a decade. The car has been in my family for over 2 decades and was originally purchased out of Texas. My dad gave it to me when he retired. I did the following to it (with the help of Marty Katz): 1) Installed Seat Belts. 2) Regular Maintenance 3) Put on a new roof last year. 4) Tires are fairly new with little mileage The car has been taken care of by Marty Katz locally in Las Vegas. If you don't know Marty and own a Corvair or an Austin, you should. He's great and loves these machines. I have to sell the car due to a divorce. This is a gorgeous car and is one of my favorites. I would like for it to go to a good home. Here are the only issues: 1) Recently horn developed an intermittent short. This is annoying but is an easy fix. You also get a lot more attention, which is a plus. 2) Battery died due to #1 3) Windshield Fluid Pump never worked. Ever. I put fluid in. I think I have an original fluid container somewhere in the trunk. 4) AM Radio has loud static at times. This might be normal. I'm at the age where I barely remember AM Radio. I really like listening to old country when I drive in Vegas. Old country listening is optional upon purchase. 5) The front seats were replaced when the car had an overhaul-probably about 30 years ago. They are in great shape. The rear bench is original, I think. Rear Bench has seatbelts, too. I wanted them installed for when I drove my nieces and nephews around. 6) Car has been in the garage for about half a year. We hosed the Vegas dust off of it. Which explains the water. Assume you need to put additive in the gas. This is a good idea. Please only use High Octane gas in this car. IF you aren't going to drive it much keep the fuel low and put premium in as soon as you can. 7) The driver interior door cover is a bit warped. Not bad but I figured I would mention it. (I took a photo) There is a slight tear on the dash. If you look carefully you can find it. 8) The lighter is missing. It might be under the seat. 9) I would rate this about a 7.5- I drove it not showed it. With a bit of TLC you can easily get 9-10. It needs a car wash from the dust and the stuff from me cruising around. You might want to re-paint it in a few years and re-cover the rear seat later if you are a stickler, but this is a beautiful car that always turns heads. Yep, I should have washed it well before the photos but I had limited time. I am including an AM/FM Radio and an extra mirror. If you are near Vegas and want to drive it I can go get a battery and we can go for a ride. I noticed that some of the interior photos are washed out. This is a BRIGHT red interior. The Vegas sun was very bright today. Please ignore any spurious water droplets. I can find no bubbling, which isn't surprising. The paint is intact. I've included a photo of one of the vents. The trunk is completely dry and sealed. The car sounds awesome. And no, you don't get the cool centennial Vegas plates. Please contact me if you have any additional questions. It's a great car, and I'm sad to see it go. Car does have a reserve and is subject to prior sale in the next week as it is advertised locally. But I'll be happier when my wife goes. Do a good deed today; buy my car. Or as Henny Youngman said, "Take my wife, please!" If you intend to take her, please tell me. I can keep the car if that happens. Would prefer wire transfer payment, if possible. Cash is good, too. Money order is OK, but I would prefer a local bank branch to OK it. Transport is the responsibility of purchaser. It is being stored at my old house, so the faster it gets out of there, the better. Thank you for your time. |

General Motors shaking up its marketing... again
Wed, 13 Mar 2013One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
Are you the 2014 Corvette Grand Sport?
Thu, 21 Feb 2013When are stripes more than just stripes? Follow up question: Is the product development team at Chevrolet really cocky enough to hide the next C7 Corvette variant in plain sight? This very recently spotted, and ostensibly obscured C7 asks a lot more questions than it answers, but there's at least some evidence to support that it might be the next Corvette Grand Sport.
The first and most obvious tip-off that something is up with this 'Vette revolves around those silver stripes. Obviously the stripes themselves don't necessarily denote a new model. However, when Chevy recently launched its "colorizer" website for the Stingray, there was no provision made for racing stripes - solid colors only.
Grand Sport exhibit number two is actually an incriminating lack of badges. The production Corvettes we've seen to date have all carried Stingray badges on their fenders, just behind the vent. The car seen in these images has no such badges, which is an intriguing omission on an car that looks like a production-spec vehicle otherwise.
GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing
Mon, 29 Jul 2013General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.
