Henderson, Nevada, United States

Beautiful 1965 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Coupe. Restoration over the past 16 months brought this car to look like new. Still having only 44,508 miles and garaged all it's life this car was purchased 3/21/65 in Hayward, California and ended up in Las Vegas, Nevada. The car never left the west coast. I am the third owner. Car had spent a few months as a lease/demo then sold with full warranty in 1965. The car was built in Chevrolets Van Nuys plant in Los Angeles. Always maintained well and has been in a "smoke-free" home. THIS CAR HAS NO RUST AT ALL! Car still has valid "original black plates" that were on the car from day one!
Features or options on the car were, 140 HP engine, telescopic wood wheel with "quick steering option",remote outside mirror (mechanism in place but removed outside mirror for appearance. Powerglide automatic transmission, padded dash, am radio with rear antenna,deluxe seat belts with retractors, spare tire lock.
Here's some of the work done in the restoration:
All trim work professionally powder coated.
All new brakes installed.
All four carbs rebuilt and painted. Also replaced the vacuum choke controls.
Replaced alternator with higher amp model.
New dual master cylinder for brakes.
Replaced torque convertor and new seal.
Replaced vacuum modulator.
New idler pulley, new belt also.
New engine seal.
New engine mount.
New "U" joints installed.
New wheel bearings.
Engine gone through, everything adjusted, new spark plugs/wires and everything that was in question was replaced, nothing overlooked.
Complete oil change and lube suspension.
Has KONI shocks.
ALL NEW INTERIOR, NEW CARPET KIT, ALL SEATS REDONE,NEW HEADLINER AND BOTH VISORS,NEW GLOVEBOX.
Installed seat extender for tall driver, extra 3 inches of room.
NEW CUSTOM 15 INCH CHROME SUMMIT RACING WHEELS WITH LOCKS INSTALLED.
ALL NEW TIRES FRONT AND REAR.
Car does need a couple of things done still, door hinges making some "clicking sound" when opening doors so you may want to replace them down the road. Radio not hooked up.
All in all this car would be considered by most a very good condition professionally restored antique automobile. The cars a big hit at the shows! Perfect time of year to purchase a car before all the car shows start.
Buyer will send deposit of $500.00 at auction close. Final arrangements will be communicated at auction close.

Chevrolet Camaros at SEMA are a mobile accessory catalog

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

Chevy's goal at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas this week seems to be to show as much of its Performance and Accessories catalog as possible. That's why it brought three different Camaros - two with V8s and one powered by a V6 - with all of the best goodies from the catalog already fitted.
We gave a more in-depth recap of the Performance Camaro V8 Concept, the Performance Camaro V6 Concept and the Performance Garage Concept already, but we figured you'd like a short recap for each. It should be noted, though, that you can order all of the items you see here for your own Camaro, so be sure to take a long, hard look at our live galleries, just in case you're in the market for some mods.
Essentially, the Performance Garage Concept and the Performance V8 Concept are the same car - the only difference is that the later features a whole host of aesthetic tweaks in addition to its aftermarket, shorty exhaust headers and 2.75-inch exhaust. (The Performance Garage Concept has been usefully placed on its side; the better to see the new parts added to the vehicle.) The Performance V6 Concept is notable because, despite being a V6, there's no shortage of performance goodies fitted. All three of the Performance Camaros benefit from items from the Camaro ZL1, which can also be ordered through the catalog.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?

Watch the live reveal of the 2014 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra [UPDATE]

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

UPDATE: The trucks have been revealed. Click here for all of the official details.
As promised, Chevrolet and GMC are offering a live webcast of the world premiere for the all-new 2014 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500. After being teased with spy shots and blurry images like the one above for ages, now is the time to see the trucks in the metal, for real (well, as 'real' as it gets on a webcast, at any rate).
Shift your eyes down just below to see the reveal as it happens, starting at 9:30 AM EST. We anticipate having loads of images full technical information to share after the webcast, too, so truck aficionados should stay tuned. We'll also be bringing you live images of both trucks too, when we see them on the show floor at next month's Detroit Auto Show.
