Corsa Turbo Convertible on 2040-cars

US $11,500.00

Up for sale- my beautiful 66 Corvair Corsa Turbo convertible. This car is extremely rare. The 1966 Corsa Convertible Turbo is one of the most rare models of the Corvairs. In model year 1966, only 3,142 Corsa convertibles (technically Model #66-10767) were built. And only between 527 and 643 (the exact number is not known due to a fire at GM that destroyed the records) of those had the 180hp turbo engine.

If you know Corvairs, you know this is a rare and desirable model. If not, suffice it to say you don't find that sort of low production figure on any American cars.

I have owned this car since 2008. Purchased in Ft Wayne Indiana. I have put probably less that 2000 miles on it during that time. Car is in very good condition. Seats re-done with Clarks interior kit in 2008, paint re-done in 2013. Very clean and very nice, but please remember it's a 50 year old car. Paint is very good with minor blemishes here and there. Turbo currently not working (don't have a good corvair mechanic here to run it down) but car runs and drives great. All mechanicals good. New 15 inch Chevrolet rally wheels and tires. Brakes re-done in 2014. I need to sell now due to health reasons- doctors have major projects planned for me coming up up in the next couple of months. I love this car but need to sell it now. 

Asking $11,500. Others of lesser quality have sold here for $15k. Yes, I have a little room to move, but if you think you'll be able to get it for 8 or 9k, you'll be disappointed, and I'd just tell you not to waste your breath or my time. I would consider interesting truck trades but prefer to sell outright. I expect you to look before buying. If you buy sight unseen, there will be a $2000 deposit that will not be refunded. As always, when buying a car, remember that money talks and BS walks! Thanks for looking!

Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]

Mon, 18 Aug 2014

For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.

GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue

Wed, 14 Nov 2012

General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.

Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...
