1962 Chevrolete Corvair


Up for auction is my 1962 Chevy Corvair, California car all its life! According to it's vin it was manufactured in Oakland and it has been here since then.

I've been working on it on and off and have it running and idling smooth and quiet. It's all original and unmolested! All lights, inside and out work! Including the lights in the gauge cluster and working factory radio!

The car has all windows in good condition, with all windows opening and closing as they should. All chrome is there except for a small 1/2-Beauty trim that goes around the gas lid.

The car is at least 95% complete and functioning. It starts up right away and idles smooth and quiet, it's a great local cruiser.

The following is a list of items that have been replaced or fixed within the last 100 miles:

  • New Falken Tires 
  • New KYB Shocks / Gas-A-Just - All four corners 
  • New Brakes - All four corners
  • New Starter
  • New rebuilt generator
  • Rebuilt / Refurbished Voltage Regulator
  • New Fan belt
  • New battery
  • New Spark Plug Wires
  • New Tune-Up kit
  • New Oil Pan Gasket
  • New Transmission Gaskets
  • New Valve Cover Gaskets
  • Repacked wheel bearings
  • Resurfaced brake drums
  • Recently adjusted points and carburetors
  • New Rear Housing Gasket & Seal (needs to be installed)
  • New Differential Rebuild Gasket (needs to be installed)
  • New Viton Push Rod Tube O-Ring (needs to be installed)

As you can see from the pictures, it does need a fresh paint job to make it shine as it did back in '62. It only has surface rust from being sun beaten. To my knowledge all floorboards and body panels are in good condition. The upholstery although complete also needs to be freshened-up. 

The only thing that needs to be addressed is the famous Corvair Oil-Leak. The car does leak oil, just like any other Corvair. However I do have three new sets of gaskets/seals and O-Rings that are being included with the car.... that way the new owner does not have to hunt down these parts. Once these seals are replaced I am confident the car will be leak free.

I also have the car for sale locally so I reserve the right to end this auction early. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions BEFORE you bid.

I will ship globally. I can help refer you to shipping companies that can deliver this car to any place in the world. All shipping fees are buyer's responsibility

This car is being sold AS-IS, with NO promises, guarantees or warranties made or implied.

Thanks for looking and happy bidding!

Conquest and controversy conclude the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona [spoilers]

Sun, 26 Jan 2014

If you don't wish to know who won the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, you should avert your eyes right now. We'll even give you a double-space to skedaddle...
For those of you still with us, the first race in the United SportsCar Championship (USCC) is done, but the discussions about it certainly won't end for a while. Daytona Prototypes claimed the first four overall places, the top spot taken by the No. 5 Action Express Coyote-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Joao Barbosa, Christian Fittipaldi, Sebastien Bourdain and Burt Friselle. The 16th and final caution of the race bunched the field up for an eight-minute sprint to the flag, so the first place getter finished just 1.4 seconds ahead of the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Dallara-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Max Angelelli. Third place went to Brian Friselle in the No. 9 Action Express Chevrolet Corvette DP, 20 seconds down. Chevrolet power hasn't taken the overall win since 2003, eleven years later it scores a one-two-three-four. The No. 6 Muscle Milk/Pickett Racing ORECA-Nissan 03 scored fifth place, the top LMP2 finisher.
The Prototype Challenge class win went to the No. 54 CORE Autosport team of Colin Braun, Jon Bennett, Mark Wilkins and James Gue.

Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.

Pushing Back: GM expanding Chevrolet into Korea, Daewoo out

Thu, 29 Apr 2010

Chevrolet Camaro goes to South Korea - Click above for high-res image
General Motors decided several years ago to begin heavily promoting Chevrolet as its global mainstream brand even in markets where its existing brands like Opel and Daewoo were a dominant force. Today, at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea, GM Daewoo president Mike Arcamone announced that the Camaro would lead the way in GM's efforts to market Chevrolet in South Korea.
For now at least Chevrolet and Daewoo-branded vehicles will coexist in the Korean market. However, while we were in China last week GM officials told us that the Daewoo brand, which has been somewhat tainted by past quality issues, would eventually be phased out in favor of Chevrolet. When the new Aveo launches next year it will likely be badged as a Chevrolet even though GM Daewoo is in charge of engineering the car.
