See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"1962 Corvair Greenbrier. Same owner last 27 years. Driven three times weekly until 10 years ago, then once a week until 7 years ago (when gas tank was removed for cleaning).Garage stored most of ownership, all of last 10 years. Typical FC wheel well rust, passenger side floor pan needs to be replaced. Remainder of passenger compartment has minimal surface rust. Original 1962 rubber floor mats now covered by front to rear black carpeting. Middle seat can face front or back. Body is in excellent shape,(some bondo work done when I bought it on right rear corner) chrome bumpers front and rear, all glass present and intact (needs fuzzies). 110 engine (non-original) with stock 4-speed transmission. Hasn't been started in last 7 years, but turns easily by hand/belt. All six doors open and close securely (need weatherstripping). This is a worthwhile restoration project, or with just a bit of work, reliable daily driver."

I have owned this 'Brier for 27 years, drove it approximately 3 times per week until ten years ago when I closed my business, then once a week until seven years ago when it was pretty much put into storage. Excellent body with some minor exceptions-fantastic for a vehicle of its age, over 50 years now. It has original four speed transmission, all original glass with no cracks, interior was redone some years ago but looks virtually new. 

Vehicle hasn't been run in past seven years since gas tank was removed for cleaning (then lost my job and moved a couple of times-van was always garage stored) but engine turns easily by hand or using the fan belt. 
Cons: will need passenger side floor replaced, a little work on driver's side, only other rust through on interior is a small (less than 1") hole about halfway back at edge of passenger compartment on driver's side. Typical FC wheel well rust, some minor rock ding rust on front. Brakes have lost pressure probably due to rotted rubber lines. Needs new headliner, dash should be repainted. Van will need weatherstripping and fuzzies. Since it is non-running, it will need to be trailered.
Pros: This vehicle is original right down to front and center rubber floor mats (now covered by front to rear carpeting I had made for vehicle. Interior alone is worth the cost of the low reserve . Garage stored most of ownership, all of last 10 years. Middle seat can face front or back. Chrome bumpers front and rear. Both padded visors and tire cover match interior vinyl.
This is an excellent restoration project, or with just a bit of work, a reliable daily driver.

Autoblog fan favorite car ads from Super Bowl XLIX

Mon, Feb 2 2015

Super Bowl XLIX is in the books, and the New England Patriots emerged victorious. Of course, if you're like us, the big game wasn't so much about the battle between the east coast and west, so much as a fight between the world's automotive advertisers. We collected and collated all of last night's new ads and put them together for you to vote on. And yes, we're limiting this year's contest to last night's new features. That's why you aren't seeing Dodge's epic Wisdom among our collection of commercials, and it's a similar story with Chevrolet's Truck Guy Focus Group series, which highlights the new Colorado. You can still vote for your favorites. We won't be closing the voting on our Super Bowl page, so while the winners and losers are correct as of this writing, it's entirely possible that there could be some changes in the rankings as time goes on. So, without any further ado, here are the winning ads based on your voting. Nissan: With Dad Fiat: Ready For Action Jeep: Beautiful Lands BMW: Newfangled Idea Mercedes-Benz: Fable NASCAR: America Start Your Engines As for those ads that failed to impact you, loyal readers, Toyota was the absolute, undisputed loser. The Japanese brand ran four ads in total – two for Toyota and two for Lexus – and all of them have negative tallies as of this writing. Lexus' Make Some Noise and Lets Play and Toyota's One Bold Choice and My Bold Dad both had very weak showings among the commercials that aired, although they weren't alone. Neither Mazda nor Kia scored particularly well, despite featuring celebrity magic act Penn and Teller and former James Bond, Pierce Brosnan, respectively. Chevrolet was the winner of the losers, as of our writing, recording the fewest downvotes for its audience-punking The Big Game ad. If you want to take a second look at the losing ads, you can head back to our Super Bowl page for the complete collection. But for now, head into Comments and let us know what you think of the results.

Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car

Wed, 20 Feb 2013

We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above. Learn more about the fight for a closer-to-production look in the ESPN story at the link.
Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial

Sat, 16 Mar 2013


The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
