Lesson learned: don't buy a car on Ebay without looking at it. I did, now I'm selling the car. This 65 Corvair left the LA plant as a white 500 with a blue interior. Now it's an Avocado Green with Black interior Monza wannabe. That doesn't make it a bad car; it's just not what I wanted. This is a good, driver-quality car that needs some TLC. 17,700 undocumented miles on the odometer. I have over 4 grand invested so far. PA Antique title in hand.
The Good:
This car has a solid undercarriage, the engine runs well and the 4-speed trans and clutch are good. New brakes and wheel cylinders all around, new fuel tank sending unit, new turn signal switch. Really nice interior and a repro owner's manual and shop books. Starts almost every time (see The Bad), gets lots of looks, smiles and "thumbs up." There are spare parts and a Sparkomatic 8-track I'll throw in, too.
The Bad:
There's a slight oil leak from the transmission (see photo). It's nothing that can't be fixed for cheap. It's going to need 4 tires soon. There's no jack. The horn works, but the horn button assembly in the steering wheel is no good. The wipers work, but the washers don't. It may need a starter solenoid or ignition switch: every once in a while it won't turn over. Let it sit for a few hours and Hey Presto, you're motoring. There is some slight rust on the outer door skins. And I mean slight.
The Ugly:
The body looks like someone gave Stevie Wonder a bucket of Bondo and turned him loose, followed by a ten year-old with spray cans of green paint. No kidding. Look at the photos.
The car is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early. Car is currently in Newtown Square, Pa.
Ask questions! I will be completely honest in my answers! I can take pictures of any parts of the car and send them to you. Bid to BUY, not to look at it and change your mind!
$250 nonrefundable deposit due via Paypal within 48 hours of auction close. Balance due in certified bank funds within 7 days, car must be picked up within two weeks. Neither the car nor the title leave my possession until ALL funds have cleared my bank.

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.")
Watch the live reveal of the 2014 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra [UPDATE]
Thu, 13 Dec 2012UPDATE: The trucks have been revealed. Click here for all of the official details.
As promised, Chevrolet and GMC are offering a live webcast of the world premiere for the all-new 2014 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500. After being teased with spy shots and blurry images like the one above for ages, now is the time to see the trucks in the metal, for real (well, as 'real' as it gets on a webcast, at any rate).
Shift your eyes down just below to see the reveal as it happens, starting at 9:30 AM EST. We anticipate having loads of images full technical information to share after the webcast, too, so truck aficionados should stay tuned. We'll also be bringing you live images of both trucks too, when we see them on the show floor at next month's Detroit Auto Show.
GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.
