1965 Monza 4 Door. 110 automatic. This is number 3 car. It has the original interior that has a couple tears on the driver seat. The car has a factory working clock and radio with new speaker. The car is VERY solid. There are no holes or pin holes in the truck or the floor. The sub-frame under the car is rust free. The bottom of the car is in great shape. I painted the car in 2005 but it needs repainted again. There is some rust on the rear quarter panels above and behind the wheel wells. I did put Clark's patch panels in the front quarters when painted. The windshields (front and back) are resealed and do not leak. The car was in an accident when new, and the front driver side fender is wavy as is the passenger side rear. Mechanically the car is great. It doesn't use any oil, and only drips a couple drops when first shut off. The trans doesn't leak and shifts perfect. The starter is temperamental sometimes though, and I did have it rebuilt with the same effect. The ring gear is fine though. I just did the brake shoes and checked out the hydraulics and it has a dual master cylinder on it. The brakes should be good to go for a long time. The steering is very nice and tight. It has new shocks, and new tires (2011). The car doesn't shake or bounce over bumps. I just gave the car a full tune up and installed an electronic ignition system on it. I have done a lot of stuff to this car, too much to list. I am the second owner of the car, and I have owned it for 9 years. I have put over 12,000 miles on and have never been stranded anywhere. This car is a fun, and nice driving. I can't stress enough how solid this car is. I have done a lot of work to this car but it is time for it to find a new home to make room for another car. If I could keep the car I would, it was my first car. This car could easily be a very nice Corvair with not a lot of work.

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
Chevy to show redesigned Captiva in Geneva, will it come to US rental lots?
Wed, 27 Feb 2013Unless you're renting a car or driving through Orlando, Florida (the rental car capital of the US), you'll probably never see a Chevrolet Captiva - the rebadged, fleet-only version of the old Saturn Vue - on our roads, but this crossover is popular in many other parts of the world. As such, Chevrolet announced that the Captiva will be getting an update for 2013, which will be unveiled next week at the Geneva Motor Show.
Coming off a pretty extensive refresh in 2011, the 2013 model year will bring even more changes to the Captiva like LED taillights, new 18-inch wheels and revised fascias with a new grille and fog lights up front and inset chrome exhaust outlets at the rear. New interior features include heated rear seats, dual-zone climate control as well as available options on some of the upper trim levels such as leather seating and keyless entry and start. We have yet to hear back from Chevrolet as to whether or not the updated Captiva will be making its way to a rental lot near you, as the model is only available in the US to fleet buyers.
Alongside the updated Captiva, Chevy is also showing off its new Trax in Europe, where the subcompact crossover will go on sale this spring. GM's press release for these two Geneva-bound models is posted below.
C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan
Mon, 11 Feb 2013Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."
