1964 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Convertible on 2040-cars
Peoria, Illinois, United States
Up for sale is a great example of a 1964 Chevy Corvair Monza convertible with low miles. This car is really solid and straight and the interior is in super nice condition. The motor runs really smooth and the transmission works good. Its amazing to drive this car because the alignment is spot on and the car sits very square and cruses right along. The engine has two new carburetors, a good battery, and some recent brake work done with a new master cylinder. The carbs need just a little choke adjustment and maybe synched a little better but still work fine now. The car comes with the two original carburetors and four original rims with bias tires, possibly the originals but not sure. I will just go ahead and list all the good and negative things with the car to try and explain the condition. Overall though this car could use some convertible top repair, minor mechanical work, and possibly a new paint job some day. Other than those issues there are only minor things like a door handle needs a spring, a couple small interior spots need attention, and the fuel gauge doesn't work. The body panels are super nice and solid as well as the fenders, rockers and quarters. The dash and interior chrome look great and the door panels are in good condition. Most of the undercarriage is really good with the exception of a few key spots that could be fixed sometime. There is a few small minor rust spots in concentrated locations, a small area under driver side , lite surface rust in the front trunk, and under the passenger side. The car is very solid and in awesome condition besides those spots. This car has the power top option and some other cool options for the year like seat belts, push button wiper for mist, and the nice chrome.
THE GOODS Low miles rare power top option great original condition the glass is good with mostly good rubber solid car and super straight metal good brakes, tires, and alignment nice looking paint with the exception of the shrinkage cracks the chrome and bumpers are really good interior is really nice and comfortable almost everything works such as lights, wipers, radio, etc. really good car to put a little work into to have a great car THE NOT SO GOODS needs some convertible top repairs and needs new plastic or glass rear window very minor rust to fix someday needs a little mechanical adjustments trans pan and carb tune needs minor interior door panel repair could get a new paint job someday due to alligator cracked effect power top lost hydrolic fluid needs repair mostly just small tlc jobs This car is sole as is where is.

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles
Tue, 06 Aug 2013General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.
2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel arrives with 42 mpg for $25,695*
Thu, 07 Feb 2013The last time General Motors had a diesel passenger car in the US, it was the 1.8-liter 1986 Chevette. At the 2013 Chicago Auto Show today, GM is unveiling the much-anticipated 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel. The compact bows with a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine that boasts 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, with full twist coming on at just 2,000 rpm. What's more, the common-rail, direct-injection diesel features an overboost function that allows the engine to deliver up to 280 lb-ft of torque for 10 seconds at a time. Even with 10 more horsepower and 110 more pound-feet of torque than the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder in the Cruze, the 2.0-liter diesel engine can return up to 42 mpg (highway) bolted to its six-speed automatic transmission.
If you're counting, that figure meets the less powerful Cruze Eco with a six-speed manual transmission. More importantly, the auto transmission Cruze Diesel matches its main competition, the Volkswagen Jetta TDI, in highway fuel economy. The Cruze 2.0 TD (as it will be badged) can also handle up to 20 percent biodiesel (B20), whereas the Jetta is rated only for B5. General Motors has not released city fuel economy for its newest diesel, but we do know how much it will cost you to jump behind the driver's seat.
GM will kindly ask for $25,695, plus an $810 destination fee. That marks a $2,115 premium over a loaded Cruze LTZ Auto and $2,640 more than the Jetta TDI, though the MSRP will net you a leather interior, 17-inch alloy wheels and an Aero Performance Package, as well as a two-year maintenance plan and five-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Compared to the gas-powered Cruze, you also lose a couple cubic feet of rear cargo space thanks to a 17-liter diesel emission fluid tank. That urea fluid, which helps put the clean in clean diesel, will need to be refilled at least every 10,000 miles.
