SELLING A 1961 CHEVROLET CORVAIR MONZA 900. VIN # 109690124089. CAR WAS ORIGINALLY MADE IN CALIFORNIA AND STAYED THERE UNTIL 1982. IN 1982 THE CAR WAS TRANSPORTED TO OHIO WHERE IT WAS DRIVEN FOR 3 YEARS AND THEN TAKEN APART, FOR RESTORATION. ALWAYS GARAGE KEPT AND REGULARLY MAINTAINED. CAR HAS NOT BEEN ON THE ROAD EVERYDAY SINCE 1984, BUT I DO DRIVE IT AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND TO NEAR BY CLOSE STORES. THE COLOR IS NOT ORIGINAL, BUT IS A REAL HEAD TURNER, EVERYONE LOVES THE SHADE AND THERE'S NEVER A LACK OF LADIES COMMENTING HOW PRETTY IT IS. THE ENGINE IS ORIGINAL, NUMBER ARE CLEAR AND EASY TO FIND, ENGINE # T02I3YN. THE 4 SPEED TRANS I HAVE NO REASON TO BELIEVE TO NOT BE ORIGINAL. THOUGH I NEVER LOOKED FOR THE NUMBERS. THE CAR DOES RUNS AND MOVE UNDER ITS OWN POWER, GOES INTO ALL GEARS, BUT IS COLD BLOODED WITH COOL OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES, NO SMOKING OR KNOCKING/TICKING NOISES. THE CHOKE CABLES ARE FROZEN AND I KEEP THE CAR IN MY HEATED GARAGE, NEVER MOVE IT UNLESS ITS 70 DEGREES OUT ANY HOW. MILEAGE IS UNKNOWN WAS TOLD 55,000 ODOMETER SAYS 15,000 BRAKES FEEL AS THOUGH THEY COULD USE ADJUSTMENT. LIKE I SAID THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN REGULARLY IN 10+ YEARS. THIS CAR HAS TONS OF NEW PARTS, A REMAN GENERATOR, BATTERY, PLUGS, WIRES, THINGS OF THAT NATURE, IS A PERFECT TINKER TOY. THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR IS VERY ORIGINAL, ALL EXCEPT THE FLOOR CARPET, THAT WAS RECENTLY REPLACED WITH A FACTORY FIT PACKAGE. MY PERSONAL FEELINGS ARE THAT HAD I GOT THE SEATS RECOVERED IT WOULD KILL THE ORIGINAL FEEL THE CAR HAS. SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO GOT THAT ROUTE CLARKE'S CORVAIR HAS SEAT COVERS FOR $500, I SIMPLY DIDN'T WANT THEM. IT IS A FACTORY MONZA 900 CAR MEANING IT DOES HAVE THE 4 SPEED TRANS, TINTED GLASS AND AN UPGRADED INTERIOR. THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT IS VERY CLEAN. OVERALL I FEEL THE PICTURES WILL DO THE TALKING FOR ME, IT DOES NEED SOME MINOR WORK BUT IS A GREAT CAR.I KNOW I WILL NEVER HAVE ONE THIS CLEAN AGAIN, THEY ARE GETTING HARD TO FIND AND I WONT GIVE THIS ONE AWAY. I HAVE COMPLETE PICTURES OF THE CAR THROUGHOUT THE RESTORATION PROCESS AND YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THE BODY CONDITION BEFORE AND AFTER. FOR SALE LOCALLY, RESERVING THE RIGHT TO END AUCTION EARLY.

"This Corvair is unusual in that it has bucket seats with cloth inserts on the seating surfaces. This option was only available in 1961 Monza 4-door sedans for about the first half of the model year before discontinued by GM. Not only this, but very few remain because the cloth usually wore out and was replaced with vinyl seat covers"---written by a Corvair fanatic---

$500 DEPOSIT DUE AT AUCTION CLOSE, REMAINING BALANCE TO BE PAID IN CASH UPON PICK UP. AFTER AUCTION CLOSE AND DEPOSIT HAS BEEN MADE, BUYER WILL HAVE 2 WEEKS TO PICKUP THE CAR UNLESS OTHERWISE ARRANGED.

UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."

GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
