1965 Chevrolet Chevy Greenbrier Corvair Sportswagon on 2040-cars
Brampton, Ontario, Canada
|
1965 Chevrolet Greenbrier Chevrolet built this 6 door “Sportwagon” like all the Corvair’s in its
lineup with an air cooled 6cyl engine.
Produced between 1961 and 1965 this is # 1203 of the final production
run of 1528 and delivered in December of ’64 This van has been restored to a point that it is reliable, safe and EYE CATCHING Purchased 5 years ago in Colorado, the van was plastic bead blasted to bare metal and 48 years of beauty marks massaged out. I found 5 coats of paint but thankfully only 1 rust spot that was repaired properly with metal. The seats were rebuilt with modern materials and the table (non-factory) kept for the retro look. Interior upgrades are: Factory front bucket seats, full carpet kit, and seat belts for forward facing passengers. Exterior upgrades: Colour matched powder coated rallye wheels with correct diameter 215-65-15 radial tires. The original van engine block was converted into a 140HP 4 carb with progressive throttle linkage. True dual exhaust including ceramic coated headers. 3.27 diff and factory 4 speed rebuilt and resealed. The extra HP & torque get this vehicle up to speed quickly and the lower gear ratio (stock is 3.89) allow you to cruise all day at modern highway speeds. Also included with the van are the original 110 HP heads, three FC gas heaters in various states of assembly plus any and all corvair parts I have including spare axles, lights, front grill that all came with the van. For those of you residing in the US, this vehicle is an easy import as it originated in the US and is over 25 years old. My last two corvairs are now American citizens and the buyer had no issues crossing the border. I will assist in delivery as best I can and willing to even meet at the border near Buffalo NY |

Are you the 2014 Corvette Grand Sport?
Thu, 21 Feb 2013When are stripes more than just stripes? Follow up question: Is the product development team at Chevrolet really cocky enough to hide the next C7 Corvette variant in plain sight? This very recently spotted, and ostensibly obscured C7 asks a lot more questions than it answers, but there's at least some evidence to support that it might be the next Corvette Grand Sport.
The first and most obvious tip-off that something is up with this 'Vette revolves around those silver stripes. Obviously the stripes themselves don't necessarily denote a new model. However, when Chevy recently launched its "colorizer" website for the Stingray, there was no provision made for racing stripes - solid colors only.
Grand Sport exhibit number two is actually an incriminating lack of badges. The production Corvettes we've seen to date have all carried Stingray badges on their fenders, just behind the vent. The car seen in these images has no such badges, which is an intriguing omission on an car that looks like a production-spec vehicle otherwise.
GM tinkering with Silverado, Sierra model mix amidst strong early sales
Mon, 04 Nov 2013Variety, as they say, is the spice of life. That's a lesson that is currently being taught to General Motors, because despite a strong showing from its 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, the General's pickup sales still can't best those of cross-town rival Ford.
With 59,163 trucks moved, GM fell just over 1,000 units short of toppling Ford, and one of the main reasons for that, according to GM's chief sales analyst, was due to a lack of variety in the engines and body styles available on dealer lots. "We are still over-weighted toward crew-cab V8 trucks. Our light-duty mix will moderate over time as our launch progresses," said Kurt McNeil.
Loading dealers with the popular combination of the 5.3-liter V8 and the four-door, Crew Cab body style was intentional during the truck's launch, but as supplies of leftover 2013 models, which are being sold at heavy incentives, are beginning to wane, both budget-conscious and high-dollar buyers are looking elsewhere instead of at the volume model pickups.
Chevrolet SS previewed by Holden VF Commodore SS V show car
Thu, 14 Feb 2013It won't be long before we see the official, production-ready Chevrolet SS sedan (hint: it will be revealed this weekend). And to tide us over until all of the official details are released about the US-spec version, we have this: the Holden VF Commodore SS V show car, a performance-oriented brother to the Calais V that debuted earlier in the week.
What we really want to know about the SS V is what lies underhood, but General Motors' Australian arm is keeping that under wraps until the Chevy model breaks cover this weekend. Nevertheless, it's obvious that the SS V will be a serious performer, with all sorts of aggressive cues driving that home on the car's exterior. Take a look at those 20-inch billet aluminum wheels that hide big Brembo brake calipers up front, the sculpted hood and front fascia, the wide air intakes with LED running lights and the quad exhaust pipes out back. It's like the Pontiac G8 GXP never even left us.
Inside, there's a sporty-looking interior with aluminum accents that mix in with black leather and suede surfaces, all tied together in the middle with an eight-inch MyLink touchscreen infotainment system. It looks great, and again, while we don't know anything regarding powertrain details, it makes us oh-so happy to see a manual shifter smack dab in the middle of the center console.
