Low Miles 1967 Chevrolet Corvair 4-spd Coupe on 2040-cars
Santa Rosa, California, United States
|
While there is always a 1965-66 model Corvair for sale, finding the later years from 1967-69 is difficult. That is because starting in 67, Chevrolet had decided to end production. The 67 model had only 10,000 made, by 69, only 500 or so were made. My 67 is a solid daily driver near show quality in most aspects. No rust issues. Solid. The odometer reads 55,000. I believe it because of how it drives. The engine is strong, no oil leaks. The tranny shifts very smooth. I bought it three years ago from a person in Colorado, who got it from his elderly friend who could no longer drive and parked it. Some work has been done on it because it does have electronic ignition, Petronix. I installed new O-rings and the oil leak ended. I replaced the shocks, but not bushings. The tires have plenty of tread and the brakes were redone. A new muffler was installed, took off the carbs and cleaned them and replaced worn parts. The radio works, but the heater is not hooked up. Lights and blinkers work, as do the wipers. Fuel gauge works, windows roll up and down, plugs and oil changed. A new starter was also installed. That said, I drive the car less than 600 miles a year but drive it a few times a week for a few miles. I will include all of the official Chevy shop manuals and some other Corvair books. The manuals are needed for DIY repairs.
The only thing you need to do is to replace the foam and vinyl on the two bucket seats, a minimum. Total cost was estimated at $600, if you did yourself (not hard at all once you buy the kit from Clark's Corvair online). The rear seat is still intact but fragile. The car was painted three years ago and still in good shape. The seats are functional now with seat covers. Buyers are responsible for shipping, which will be between $600-1200 on average, depending where you live. If you decide to buy and we agree on the sell, money can be transferred directly from your bank to mine or a Cashiers check, no money order. While I believe the car is original miles, it is hard to tell. All I can say is that if it turned over, the engine and tranny must have been rebuilt because there are no compression issues at all, it runs like a new car. Some of the bushings could be replaced fro a softer ride. If interested, I can send you audio files or short videos also. This is a coupe, 4-spd. I have owned automatic Corvairs and can tell you that manual tranny is the only way to go because of carburetor synchronization issues at idle. I was so glad to find a manual tranny and have had no problems with this car. You can ask questions directly: email- perrya@jps.net. |

Chevy Corvette Stingray "colorizer" lets you chase the rainbow
Thu, 14 Feb 2013After you've convinced your better half to let you buy a new Corvette, then comes the hard part... actually figuring out which 'Vette you want. While Chevrolet has yet to release the official configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it did give us something else to kill some time playing around with.
The C7 Corvette "colorizer" recently went online, and it lets you look at the car in all of its available colors and wheel options from four different angles so that when this car does go on sale, you know exactly which one you want. It includes the Corvette's full pallet of colors including Torch Red, Laguna Blue and the hue you see above, Velocity Yellow. Toss in the black wheels, and we're sold. If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.
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.
