The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Paint scratch rear quarter"

This auction is for a true survivor. The odometer only shows 56,000 miles and I believe this to be accurate by the condition of the car. It's a 64 Spyder and belongs to the neighbors of a friend of mine and they ask me to list it for them. The owner has recently had open heart surgery and feels it is time to part with the car. It's an outstanding example of a true survivor. 


 As far as I can tell the only restoration done to the car was a repaint. even though it was repainted I couldn't find any spots that either any dents or rust were repaired. There is currently a scratch on the left rear quarter panel about 6" below the belt line and another towards the rear upper part of the quarter.. This doesn't appear to be any metal damage but the paint should be redone in this area.I tried to get some decent pictures of the undercarriage to show any rust through but I couldn't find any. The bottom of the doors are very solid with only some light surface rust and paint flaking. The only rust I saw was inside the trunk area where the inner fender meets the floor pan. And this shows only as swelling in the seem area about 12" long. No holes at all. 
   
 The interior looks untouched as well as the undercarriage. The seats are in good condition for their age with no rips that I could see. The door panels could use some work as well as the drivers side arm rest. The carpet does show some wear but it is still intact and very useable. The top appears to have been replaced at some time and it is currently in nice shape with no rips. It also goes up and down very smoothly with no issues. There is also a cover to snap over the top when it is in the down position. I didn't try to install it at the time I looked at the car. All the gauges are in nice shape and work well except for the gas gauge which the owner says isn't reading correctly. The factory tach works smoothly. It has a radio but I didn't think to try it to see if it also works.

  The engine runs and sounds great. The owner did have some carb work done and whom ever did the work got it right. The car runs out great and It will sit and idle without loading up for as long as you would ever need it too. The clutch and transmission works equally as well. The clutch operates very smoothly either pulling out or cruising down the road. 

  This car in the condition it is in is a rare find. It is a great example of a pretty well all original Corvair Spyder convertible. It still has all 4 of it's original Spyder hubcaps. It would make a wonderful driver for those Sunday drives with the top down. 

  As always please if you have any questions do not hesitate to call and ask. If I do not have an answer I will do my best to find out and get back to you.

2013 Chevy COPO Camaro announced with two new engines and manual option

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Chevrolet is following up the 2012 COPO Camaro with another limited run of the drag-strip-ready production car for 2013. Ditching the superchargers, the 2013 COPO Camaro can only be equipped with one of three naturally aspirated V8 engines, and other new features include the option of a manual transmission, new front springs, some minor styling changes and a lower starting price of $86,000. All cars are designed to abide by the rules of the NHRA's Stock Eliminator or Super Stock classifications, depending on in which series buyers wish to enter their Chevrolet Camaro.
Returning for 2013 is the 427-cubic-inch V8 producing 425 horsepower, but the new engines include a 325-hp 350-CID V8 and a 375-hp 396-CID V8. Buyers can select to purchase all three engines, and each will be matched with the sequence number of that car; the track-only COPO cars will not have vehicle identification numbers and can't be registered for street use.
Chevrolet is also offering unique enthusiast-specific options such as a COPO Build Book and the opportunity for owners to help assemble their car's engine at the Chevrolet Performance Build Center in Wixom, MI.

Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]

Mon, 18 Aug 2014

For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.

Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.
