67 CORVAIR with an SBC 327 installed in the rear-seat area via a KELMARK bellhousing. This vehicle was running (under V8 power) until we decided to rebuild the engine. We lost our workspace and are tired of paying to store it. Our original plan was to get everything worked out and running then transfer the drivetrain to a perfect-body late model Corvair.

This is an almost-complete project for a street racer. Rebuilt 327 (about 5 years ago has never been fired. 4 speed, Saginaw. Exhaust is complete. Body is in need of minor repair and paint. See the pictures. The trunk and hood lids are excellent, the rear quarters and doors very good. Rear grill is missing. Needs body work for lower pass front fender (pic), both lower Qs (pic) and front of pass fender (pic).

All glass is good, no cracks or chips. Front and rear bumpers are good. Stainless trim is good. Wheels and tires are good. U-joints are new.

No battery.

A new aluminum radiator is supplied but not installed. The radiator was mounted in the original engine compartment and fan-driven. We did not want to cut-up the front end. The cooling was adequate and the car did not overheat. Fans are not included.

Original pressure place and clutch cover were re-surfaced and a new friction disk installed.

New internally regulated alternator and distributor are included but not installed.

There is no interior or dash. A section of the dash was cut out. It was transferred to another Corvair that had a rusted-out vent area. The reverse would be necessary to restore this one. The fix was seamless on the recipient car: no reason to expect differently on this one. Simple body work, same as for other areas that need attention.

Shift linkage needs to be built.

The engine and transaxle mounts are all done and very cleanly installed. There are no unfinished or sharp sheet metal edges as found in many of these conversions. See the pics.

Title is clear. There is no lock cylinder for the trunk or ignition key.

Door panels, vent panels, visors, dash pad and instrument panel are in the trunk, in good condition.

The firewall is drilled for a hydraulic clutch and there is a lever there to actuate but the actual MC and slave cylinder are gone.

This project must be flatbed-trailered from Arlington Heights, Il, about 40 miles NW of Chicago.

This is a PROJECT. It will require an above-average knowledge of mechanical things to complete. If you are not up to the task, please do not bid. If you don't have your wife's approval, please do not bid. If you don't have the money, do not bid.

This is your chance to finish a Corvair V8 at a VERY LOW PRICE.

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.

Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing

Tue, 21 Sep 2010

Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.

2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

Chevrolet showed off the new 2014 SS in an airport hangar last night, its first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan in the US since the Impala SS from 1997. We'll have more to say about the SS later today, but this is the sedan that Chevrolet sees as the final piece in restoring its performance credentials. For those of you looking for a manual transmission, however, that wish will go unfulfilled - at least for now: the only two options buyers will have are the color and whether or not they want a sunroof.
We'll work on getting some more angles (in better light) today at Daytona International Speedway, but with fans seeing the car for the first time, we don't hold out much luck of getting a clear shot. So for now, enjoy the high-res gallery above.
