Nice driver quality 65 Corvair Corsa convertible. Runs and drives great. Please watch the two videos. One is a walk around and the other is the car driving. The car can be used everyday without doing anything except changing the tires. You will get lots of comments like "did you restore it" and "I had one but it didn't look that nice" (just a few I heard this week). The car looks great at first glance but closer examination will reveal flaws. If you just want a nice daily driver or weekend cruiser then this is perfect. If you want a show car then it will need some work making it perfect. I would not hesitate to drive this anywhere. I am pretty critical of cars and it may sound like I am really downplaying the car but I just to make sure you have a good understanding of what you are bidding on. Nothing worse that being disappointed with a big purchase. Whoever wins this car is getting a very solid car that they can start using and enjoying right away. 

Pros-
New top a few years ago, still very nice.
Rear window clear and scratch free. 
Doors open and close nice, no sagging.
Just replaced seal between the top and the windshield.
Solid body and chassis.
Solid floors.
Runs great.
Nice interior.
No leaks, garage floor nice and clean still. 
All lights and signals work (including warning lights).
Clear title.
Original owners manual.
Starts easily on the first try.
Shifts good.


Cons-
Poor quality paint job. Bodywork appears that it was not done professionally. Car looks good as a driver quality but to be show worthy it would need attention.
Tires are old and should be replaced
Brakes pull to the left when pressed hard (possibly a sticky caliper)
Smokes a little under very hard acceleration ( car sat for a while and I have only driven it about 200 miles so I think just using it more will help)
Dash needs paint in places.
Original AM radio not working (does come with another radio that was working when I bought the car but I thought it was ugly so I took it out)
Originally would have been a 140hp engine, now a 110hp dual carb single exhaust
Tachometer, temp gauge and clock not working.
Steering shutters a bit at high speed (65mph and more), likely due to old tires. 
Steering is not as tight as it should be. Likely just old bushings


Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I can take more pictures of anything that you need to see better. I know it can be hard bidding on a car without seeing it in person which is why I included the videos. I encourage you to view the car in person. If needed I can deliver the car to a local mechanic of your choosing for closer inspection. You would be responsible for all costs. $500 non-refundable deposit required within 48 hours of auctions end. I am only human and I can not possibly list every single detail about the car but if you find that the car has been grossly misrepresented your deposit will be refunded and the sale will be canceled. It is a good honest car and I know the buyer is going to happy with their purchase. I can store the car in my heated garage for a few weeks if needed as long as 50% payment is received.

Joe Flacco wins C7 Corvette along with MVP honors

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

As part of a longstanding tradition, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was given a new car directly after the game and trophy celebrations. For 2013, that car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and it was presented to Flacco by Rick Flick of Banner Chevrolet, a dealership in New Orleans that was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before returning to prominence as the only Chevy dealer in Orleans Parish.
Last year, Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning took home a 2012 Corvette GS Centennial Edition. Manning also won in 2008, when he selected a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid as his reward. In 2011, quarterback Aaron Rodgers accepted the keys to a Camaro convertible.
Though we're most definitely an auto-obsessed group, we did watch the Big Game along with nearly everyone else in America. And we've gotta say, as if winning the Super Bowl and receiving the Tiffany-designed Pete Rozelle Trophy wasn't enough for the multi-millionaire MVP athletes, a brand-new C7 seems like an awfully generous prize. Scroll down below for an official announcement from General Motors.

Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.

Refreshed 2014 Camaro confirmed for New York debut

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

We've already seen leaked specs and potential spy shots, but the refreshed 2014 Chevrolet Camaro will make its official debut at the New York Auto Show in a few weeks.
Besides a tweaked exterior and the possibility of a high-output LS7 under the hood, we really don't know much else about the 2014 Camaro, but here's hoping for an improved interior, too.
In addition to the refreshed Camaro, Chevrolet will also be showing off the recently introduced Chevrolet SS, making its debut on the auto show circuit, and we'll also get our first look at the C7 Corvette coupe and convertible side-by-side.
