1966 Chevrolet Corvair 500 coupe with 110 hp engine. 72,495 miles. Automatic transmission. Runs great. I recently replaced the push rod tube O-rings, which stopped them from leaking oil. I have also installed new carburetors. a rebuilt starter, and rebuilt alternator. I have modified the exhaust for a better sound. I have installed a new fuel pump as well as new oil pan and valve cover gaskets. I also installed new spark plugs and wires. The body is in very good condition. All the original exterior trim and chrome are present and in very good condition. All lights work, including back-up lights; and all light lenses are present and in very good condition. I replaced the dented hood with an undamaged one and painted it with white primer. It looks fine as it is, but I did intend to repaint the entire car at some point. The car has its original hub caps, and I put new radial tires on it. All the glass is good. I recently replaced a cracked windshield with a new windshield and had the rear window resealed. When I bought the car, the front and back floor pans and metal bottom of the front luggage compartment were rusted, so I had new metal installed in each of those areas. The rear seat springs are rusted and will need to be replaced at some point. Otherwise the interior is in overall fair condition with attention needed to various things. The dash is in good shape. The clock and instruments all work. The original door panels are present and in fairly good condition but do need to be repaired. The seats need to be reupholstered but are presently covered with new vinyl covers. All the windows work. All original window handles, door handles, etc. are present and in good shape. The horn needs to be repaired. The heat duct was removed when the exhaust was modified, but I have not taken the time to reinstall it. This car can be driven just as it is with attention paid to fixing details at your leisure. It looks good and sounds good driving down the highway. People notice it, wave, and give thumbs-up every time I drive it.

Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting?

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica
Fri, 03 Aug 2012If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
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.
