Low Miles 1967 Chevrolet Corvair 4-spd Coupe on 2040-cars
Santa Rosa, California, United States
|
While there is always a 1965-66 model Corvair for sale, finding the later years from 1967-69 is difficult. That is because starting in 67, Chevrolet had decided to end production. The 67 model had only 10,000 made, by 69, only 500 or so were made. My 67 is a solid daily driver near show quality in most aspects. No rust issues. Solid. The odometer reads 55,000. I believe it because of how it drives. The engine is strong, no oil leaks. The tranny shifts very smooth. I bought it three years ago from a person in Colorado, who got it from his elderly friend who could no longer drive and parked it. Some work has been done on it because it does have electronic ignition, Petronix. I installed new O-rings and the oil leak ended. I replaced the shocks, but not bushings. The tires have plenty of tread and the brakes were redone. A new muffler was installed, took off the carbs and cleaned them and replaced worn parts. The radio works, but the heater is not hooked up. Lights and blinkers work, as do the wipers. Fuel gauge works, windows roll up and down, plugs and oil changed. A new starter was also installed. That said, I drive the car less than 600 miles a year but drive it a few times a week for a few miles. I will include all of the official Chevy shop manuals and some other Corvair books. The manuals are needed for DIY repairs.
The only thing you need to do is to replace the foam and vinyl on the two bucket seats, a minimum. Total cost was estimated at $600, if you did yourself (not hard at all once you buy the kit from Clark's Corvair online). The rear seat is still intact but fragile. The car was painted three years ago and still in good shape. The seats are functional now with seat covers. Buyers are responsible for shipping, which will be between $600-1200 on average, depending where you live. If you decide to buy and we agree on the sell, money can be transferred directly from your bank to mine or a Cashiers check, no money order. While I believe the car is original miles, it is hard to tell. All I can say is that if it turned over, the engine and tranny must have been rebuilt because there are no compression issues at all, it runs like a new car. Some of the bushings could be replaced fro a softer ride. If interested, I can send you audio files or short videos also. This is a coupe, 4-spd. I have owned automatic Corvairs and can tell you that manual tranny is the only way to go because of carburetor synchronization issues at idle. I was so glad to find a manual tranny and have had no problems with this car. You can ask questions directly: email- perrya@jps.net. |

Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years [w/video]
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Quentin Tarantino fans will likely remember Vincent Vega's cherry 1964 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible in Pulp Fiction. In a movie drenched in automotive references, the Malibu is very nearly a character in and of itself, and it serves as the subject of Vega's soliloquy about the kind of man who vandalizes another's automobile. It also happened to be Tarantino's personal car when the film was shot, and was apparently stolen shortly after production wrapped. Now police have located the car some 19 years later.
As it turns out, the thieves cloned the vehicle identification number from another '64 Malibu and had the car registered under the new digits. It was then sold to an unsuspecting buyer. Police happened upon the duplicate VINs while investigating another potential theft. Right now, it's unclear whether Tarantino has taken possession of the Chevrolet, if it has remained in the possession of the fraud victim, or whether it's caught somewhere in the gears of justice. Either way, you can catch Vega's memorable thoughts on the car keying in the Pulp Fiction clip below. But consider yourself warned: the video contains explicit language as Not Safe For Work as it comes.
Pics Aplenty: Meet the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Dec 2012Today was a pretty big day for General Motors, debuting the all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra light-duty pickup trucks ahead of their official showcase at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. And now that the dust has settled at GM's big reveal event, we've had a chance to snap dozens of photos of the new pickup pair from every angle.
We already told you the important bits earlier today (click here in case you missed it), but let's recap. Under the hood are three new engines - a 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 (you know, a version of the small-block that'll also be found under the hood of the C7 Corvette), all mated to six-speed automatic transmissions. The 2014 model year marks the return of the Z71 off-road package with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and beefier underbody protection. Inside, there's a host of new technology and a greater focus on better quality and refinement.
Some of the nitty-gritty specifics (like engine output numbers and fuel economy) have yet to be revealed, and since we haven't driven the finished products yet, it's hard to say how these trucks will fare against rivals like the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150. For now, we can only judge these two books by their covers, and while we do like the designs of the new trucks, we Autoblog staffers are torn on exactly which one looks best.
2014 Chevrolet Impala [w/video]
Fri, 15 Mar 2013Can A Fleet Queen Become a Fullsize King?
On paper, the Chevrolet Impala is a pretty strong seller, posting annual sales that have hovered right around 170,000 units for the last two years, but it only takes one trip to practically any rental car agency to discover where the majority of those sales have come from. In fact, General Motors told Autoblog that a full 70 percent of Impala sales last year went to fleet companies for things like rental cars and government vehicles. Logic tells us that this is neither good for resale values nor name equity, so Chevrolet is getting ready to roll out an all-new Impala with improved comfort, styling and technology, hoping to turn the tables on its retail-to-fleet ratio.
Chevrolet's sedans have come on quite strong in the last few months with the introduction of the Cruze diesel and the SS sedan, but while these will likely be low-volume sellers, there's more pressure for the new Impala to perform well as GM looks to slash fleet sales and compete with the wide variety of full-size sub-luxury sedans. Riding on a platform shared with the Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac XTS, the 2014 Impala will compete against the Hyundai Azera, Ford Taurus and Toyota Avalon on the more traditional side, while also looking to take a bite out of somewhat sportier models like the Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger twins and the Nissan Maxima. We headed to sunny San Diego to see if this totally new Impala can stand on its own without the assistance of fleet companies and rental agencies. [w/video
