1966 Chevrolet Corvair Corsa Coupe 140 4 Speed Vintage on 2040-cars

Year:1966 Mileage:77221

Greenville, South Carolina, United States

 I am selling this 1966 Corsa for a  long time friend of mine who had owned it for well over 30 years.  He has owned many Corvairs over the years, and this coupe and a 1965 Corsa turbo convertible are the best two of his cars and both were primarily used in corvair club events ,primarily being car shows in the area. He took pride in both of these cars and they were always maintained in top condition.

This is a stunning coupe that looks fantastic and shows why the late corvair is one of the best body designs to come out of GM in the 60s. Light weight, strong unit construction and fully independent suspension and and great high winding 4 carb engine make these models a blast to drive today.

 This car is a numbers matching coupe and is an original Corsa  (willow run produced) with a 140 HP engine(TO224RB).The paint code is N-N Madeira Maroon. 7,330 Corsa coupes were built in the US in 1966, the last year for the Corsa model 737.

Most corvair people consider 1966 corvairs the best year built with the most improvements .

  The engine was completely  rebuilt approximately 10 years ago at 72,872 miles and slightly modified , and it is smooth and fast. . I have a complete list of work performed at that time. It has  re-jetted carbs and electronic Ignition. The brakes are good and it stops straight. It has a dual master cylinder upgrade. The exhaust is a fully welded Clarks system.

This car has been  in South Carolina for all of its life and the structure and underside is very clean and has not been covered up with paint or undercoat . There has been a small rust repair done at the battery tray area.

The paint is in good to above average condition    It  is 8 to 10 years old and shows a few scratches here and there . It looks great and is a top notch finish ,except for 3 areas    .The left rear behind the tire has some small paint bubbles ,along with both lower fenders just forward of the doors. Also there is a very small spot below the windshield right side fender.  The last 4 photos show the areas.

The bumpers show some minor wear and a couple scratches ,with one spot of weathering on the right front.    Most all of the other trim and moldings are excellent.

The interior shows no issues other than a blemish on the drivers door panel .   But a new door panel is included with the sale.  The headliner is great original ,  dash pad is perfect,  as is the carpet and seat upholstery.  The drivers seat is a little soft and may need some new padding to make it like new. There are no tears . The rear area is carpeted and looks very nice. The radio has a power antenna installed so the car cover fits snug.

The tires and wheels are 14" chevy steel wheels with 205 70 14 tires.

If you have any questions regarding the corsa feel free to ask ,I can also supply the owners contact info .

GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.

Corvette Stingray designer lists five goals of new exterior shape

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

Redesigning an icon is a difficult task, especially when you've got a blank sheet of paper in front of you and the all-new C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is intended to be your final objective.
General Motors has released a new short video featuring Kirk Bennion of the Corvette's exterior design team, talking about the challenges of sculpting Chevrolet's new flagship sports car and the five goals the team had to keep in mind as it worked. In the end, Bennion's team had the pleasure of seeing their hard work take center stage as the Corvette captured the world's eyes at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.

GM dealers unhappy about pickup prices

Mon, 21 Oct 2013

The backlash is beginning. Following General Motors' price hike of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra last week, dealers across the country are expressing their ire over increasing prices in the face of rebates and discounts on trucks from Ford and Ram.
Speaking to Automotive News, Sam Pilato, the general manager at Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater, FL, Silverados are "selling very poorly." W. Carrol Smith, the president of Monument Chevrolet in the heart of truck country, Texas, said, "[GM's] position is that the vehicle stands on its own and it doesn't need a bigger rebate. That's not what the market is telling us."
According to AN, that's the general attitude amongst Chevy and GMC dealers across the country, where the twin pickups are getting butchered in sales by competitors offering up to $9,000 off their sticker prices. Part of the problem for GM is that its trucks are arriving on the market near the end of the current F-150's lifecycle, a fact that Ford has taken advantage of.
