Low Reserve 1963 Corvair Running/driving on 2040-cars

Year:1963 Mileage:82281
Location:

Up for sale is a 1963 Chevrolet Corvair Monza 2dr Coupe that runs and drives and is registered until 8/8/14. The Corvair unlike most American cars has the engine in the trunk and it was coined as "the poor man's Porsche", there are limited amounts of Corvairs left because they were recalled thus making it an even more collectible car. I have to sell the car because I'm moving out of town, I have had the car for about 6 months and within that time I have replaced both carburetors, 2 fuel lines, the oil cooler, fuel pump, fuel filter, oil filter and battery connector cable the rest is an easy fix for the right person. All work was done by a professional mechanic and I haven't driven more than 100 miles since replacing said parts, I also have new in box a heavy duty starter and a new master cylinder. The vehicle is a great car very fun to drive, because of the cars age it doesn't need to be smogged. The car would need to be towed away because the brakes need to be replaced, the starter needs to be replaced but I have a new better starter that comes with the car. The radio/speakers are gone same with the two side mirrors and the headliner. There are some dents and bondo, the hood is painted white and the body is mainly blue but has some other colors as well. The upholstery is torn. The car shifts through gears but kind of lurches, and the tires have around 20 percent life left. The car is sold as is where is, no returns serious bidders only please. 48 hour deposit. I have the title in hand. Any and all questions are welcomed.

GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues

Wed, 28 Dec 2011

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.

2014 Chevrolet Cruze TD fires up its new diesel motor

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Ever since General Motors confirmed plans to produce a diesel-powered Cruze back in 2011, we've been eagerly awaiting its arrival. And as part of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Chevrolet has pulled back the cover on its oil-burning compact sedan, set to go on sale in the near future with a starting price of $25,695, not including $810 for destination.
The heart and soul of the Cruze TD (that's its official name) is a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline four-cylinder engine rated at 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine also has an overboost function that will increase torque to 280 lb-ft for up to ten seconds. The full brace of official specs haven't been released, but GM tells us that highway fuel economy will come in at 42 miles per gallon. If that number sounds familiar, it's because the Volkswagen Jetta TDI has the exact same rating. Unlike the Jetta, however, the Cruze TD can run on B20 biodiesel, where as the Volkswagen can only accept B5.
Model-specific changes to this 2014 Cruze TD include an aero kit and unique 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, there's a full leather interior, and Chevrolet will provide two years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, not to mention a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
