This is my beauty. I have had it for about 5 years and I have done everything I possibly could to it, except for some minor stuff. It runs great. It turns heads. Every time I take it out or to car shows, I get a huge crowd. It even beat out a 1960's Ferrari in a vintage stock class, judged by spectators. I can't begin to list everything I have changed in this car over the last 3 years or so, but I'll try. First of all, a professionally done brand new paint job just about a month  old. As close to stock as I could, though it is called Ferrari Red. All new suspension with nothing but the best parts. New carpet, new seat covers and padding, all new gaskets and oil cooler to make the driveway floor bone dry. An electronic ignition kit to avoid wet point stalls. New radial tires, new interior pieces, etc,etc,etc. Meticulously maintained by a service place familiar with classic cars. Winter stored and summer covered. New duel exhaust system. The only thing I haven't changed yet is the convertible top. It has some imperfections and small tears. I was about to do that, but.. Other nuances are the working stock AM/FM radio with sliding tune bar ( not easy to find and expensive when you do). Rear speakers and a hidden CD player in the "trunk" . The interior metal parts of the door may have a few small scratches here and there, but not a big deal. Bottom line is you would be getting a beautiful classic car that has very little left to do to. It will turn heads by its beauty and unusual details. Why am I selling it? Well, I saw a car that I have always wanted and I want to give it a shot at getting it. If I sell this car, I will get that one. That why it will be a short time line to buy. If I sell it, fine. If not, at least I tried. I have been struggling with this decision for a while. If you know Corvairs, you know what a nice version this is.Anyway, good luck. If you have any questions, I'll do my best to answer. The speedometer show 64031. Frankly , I don't know if that is the mileage or it is 164031, but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. It doesn't matter. The engine is pristine, New top of the line fan belt, as well. I will throw in a couple of boxes of parts that I got when I first bought it. Good stuff, including a carbo in its original box. And finally I'll throw in some memorabilia like old advertisementss, catalogs and users manual that I acquired. The trophies stay with me , though. The RESERVE is very close to the selling price. As I said, I need a quick turnaround or nothing at all.

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.

Mother's Day Suggestion No. 2,506

Thu, 02 May 2013

With Mother's Day coming up, we're always looking for new gift ideas to celebrate the occasion, but hot laps around a track might not be the best suggestion for Darius Khashabi. In a video posted on YouTube, Khashabi straps his mom into the passenger seat of his C6 Corvette Z06 for some laps around Sonoma Raceway (formerly Infineon Raceway) at "60 percent" with comical results.
Now this isn't the first time Mama Khashabi has gotten seat time in her son's car around a track, as his YouTube page shows him pulling a similar stunt - with similar results - around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca last year. Scroll down for the video, but know that the action really gets going at around the 1:40 mark.

Refreshed 2014 Camaro confirmed for New York debut

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

We've already seen leaked specs and potential spy shots, but the refreshed 2014 Chevrolet Camaro will make its official debut at the New York Auto Show in a few weeks.
Besides a tweaked exterior and the possibility of a high-output LS7 under the hood, we really don't know much else about the 2014 Camaro, but here's hoping for an improved interior, too.
In addition to the refreshed Camaro, Chevrolet will also be showing off the recently introduced Chevrolet SS, making its debut on the auto show circuit, and we'll also get our first look at the C7 Corvette coupe and convertible side-by-side.
