My 1960 Corvair is a 2 door hardtop , with 3 speed manual shift transmission . I have not used my car for 3 years . I had the carbs cleaned , brakes checked . 4 new tires installed 3 years ago and rode it around locally . The interior was redone with the 2 tone blue and white scheme . The car had an original owner in N.J. the fella I bought it from got it from her so I'm the 3rd owner. The drivers side floor pan needs to be replaced and I have purchased the new correct steel sheet metal floor pans for the replacement. I have not used the car for several years and am downsizing on my projects . I believe the low milage to be correct and this would be a good restoration candidate for an early corvair . The body had a repaint a while back over the original light metallic blue factory paint . Some body side rust on the drivers side fowrd of the rear tire is the most significant area for a body patch . Clarks Corvairs in Mass. has anything you may need to restore any corvair for your information. I am located near Exit 4 off Interstate I-95 in Cos Cob , Ct. and you can call me at # 203 - 613 - 6950 for an appointment to inspect the corvair during the auction period. Thanks for your interest and good luck .

2014 Chevrolet Cruze TD fires up its new diesel motor
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Ever 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.
2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible is the track car for sun worshippers

Supercharged, 6.2-liter V8? Check. Seven-speed manual? Check. Obsession with weight? Check.
What did you expect when Chevrolet said it was bringing a new Corvette variant to the 2014 New York Auto Show? Maybe a sticker and trim package, like the C6 Corvette Grand Sport or a tie-in deal like the Black Widow car from Chicago? On the opposite end, maybe there was an even more hardcore Z06 waiting in the wings. Who knew?
Survey says $25k barrier is a problem for EVs
Sun, 01 Dec 2013
The majority of consumers are more or less priced out of the market.
Electric cars are gaining popularity with the general public, but are they still too expensive? According to a survey 1,084 consumers by Navigant Research, a consulting firm located in Boulder, CO, 71 percent want their next car to cost under $25,000, while 41 percent won't go a cent above $20K. Looks like people are even thriftier than we'd originally thought.
