This Is a incredibly nice vintage Chevrolet Corvair Van that has been restored to better than new condition with the combination of the best improvements for power , reliability ,and handling .
I've owned this van for over 22 years and it has primarily been been used for comfortable transportation to car shows , club events, or to haul when needed. I located this very nice rust free van in Clinton S.C. in about 1992 while searching for a replacement for a 1963 van I owned and wanted to replace. The van was very original and solid and I believe because of some of the options, it was a fleet vehicle for a power co-op or phone co. It has a 2R125 VIN ,which is a 1962 Corvair Panel Van, with options including side roll up windows,rear door windows, 3 rows of seats, Powerglide transmission, gasoline heater, accessory 4 way flashers, and a two way radio. I started the restoration in the mid 90's ,completing the van in 2003. The van was completely chemically stripped, treated and epoxy primed. Any rust issues were cut out and new metal was welded in . I employed a professional body man for help with the final prep work. Also all of the doors were removed and primed inside and out and the hinges were rebuilt. I blocked it and re-primed 2 more times. It was painted in the fall of 2003 with 2 stage Dupont Chroma One and Chroma Clear In 1966 K code Artesian Turquoise and Light Neutral. The interior is Stock FC Desert Fawn color and was refinished after the exterior. I have Extra paint that will go with the van, The paint codes are also attached to the glove box. Tinted side glass was never a option for Corvair F.C,s , But this one has it. While all of the glass was out ,I had custom green tint glass cut and tempered for all 12 windows ,along with a new windshield. All of the window channels ,window seals , window felts ,and vent window rubber has been replaced. The rear floors were in great condition and were refinished in cargo bed liner. All of the exterior bright work was replaced or re-plated at the time I restored it. All of the Deluxe interior panels from my 1963 were professionally recovered along with new Clark 1962 Deluxe upholstery. The Engine I acquired from a fellow FC enthusiast in 1992 , and rebuilt to better than new specs for high torque and mid range power when coupled to the Powerglide. Its a 1966 XXY replacement truck engine rebuilt with .010 /.010 crank nitrided after machining by Charlotte Crankshaft ,welded crank gear ,fully balanced, .040 TRW forged pistons, Clarks cylinders,molly rings,std copper head gaskets,889 cam straight up,failsafe gear,top cover bolted to baffle. The heads are 110 truck heads with the exhaust rotators,close clearance Otto Guides ,New valves, 3 angle valve job and No Valve seals, with thermistor in the left head and careful attention paid to cooling air flow. The shrouds are powder coated with folded fin cooler. Always run on Synthetic engine,gear ,and ATF. No oil consumption between 3000 mi oil changes , pulls like crazy and has no problem holding 75 on the freeway with 3:55 axle. Big hills do not bother it. It runs perfect and needs nothing. I just serviced all of the fluids in May 2014. The instruments include a Tach, oil temp, and cylinder head temp gauges. There are no leaks ,smoke or abnormal noises. The van has within the past year, had 4 new KYB shocks, starter solenoid, fuel tank float, new exhaust crossover pipe, brake fluid flush, brakes checked and adjusted. The tires are fairly new BFG's 225/70-14 on14x7 wheels. With front and rear sway bars added. The van goes straight down the road and stops firm and has no pulling. I have driven it a lot on the interstate and I have no concerns regarding taking a road trip with it. The paint has heald up very well for the age ,mostly due to proper prep and meticulous maintenance and storage . But it is a 11 year old so it does show some slight signs of wear here and there . It has never been repainted anywhere or had accident damage. But I do have a fair amount of paint left for and needed repair. I have service records, photos, and a fat file of receipts from the restoration ,that will go with the van. If you would like to see the van it is located in Campobello SC 29322. My number is 828 342 0953. I also have it for sale locally and I do reserve the right to end the auction early. I am a long time Corsa member and a certified repair specialist. Feel free to call and ask questions. |

No, Cadillac is not killing its flagship CT6 sedan
Sat, Jul 22 2017Mark Twain never actually said that reports of his death had been greatly exaggerated. But if the Cadillac CT6 could talk, those are the exact words it would use. Speaking to Jalopnik, Cadillac chief Johan de Nysschen confirmed, emphatically, "There is absolutely no plan, at all, to cancel the CT6." In fact, says de Nysschen, the CT6 will soon be the beneficiary of significant investment. "The [CT6] forms a very important part of our product strategy going forward for the brand. The car also has a very major contribution to make to the shaping of brand perceptions, and the transformational process that Cadillac is undergoing." For instance, expect the CT6 to spearhead General Motors' most advanced forays into self-driving automobile technology. Interestingly, though, the Cadillac ATS and CTS sedans probably won't live past their current generations as the automaker 're-balances its sedan portfolio.' Replacement models are "in development" right now, says de Nysschen, which will "much more clearly separate the market position, both in terms of target customer demographics, in terms of market segments and in terms of price points between these three sedan lineups." So, that's confirmation that the Cadillac CT6 is going to stick around for a while. But what of other models cited by Reuters to potentially be killed, like the Buick LaCrosse and Chevy Impala and Volt? Read our take on that here, but suffice it to say that we don't think they're in danger, either.

Foreign automakers pay from $38 to $65 per hour to non-union workers
Sun, Mar 29 2015As leaders for the United Auto Workers gather in Detroit for their Special Convention on Collective Bargaining to work out the negotiating stance for this year's new labor agreements with the Detroit 3 automakers, what they most want to do is figure out how to eliminate the two-tier wage scale. However, the lower Tier 2 wage has allowed the domestic automakers to reduce their labor costs, hire more workers, and compete better with their import competition. As it stands, per-hour labor rates including benefits are $58 at General Motors, $57 at Ford, and $48 at Fiat-Chrysler – a reflection of FCA's much greater number of Tier 2 workers. The Center for Automotive Research released a study of labor rates (including benefits) that put numbers to what the imports pay: Mercedes-Benz pays the most, at an average of $65 per hour, Volkswagen pays the least, at $38 per hour, and BMW is just a hair above that at $39 per hour. Among the Detroit competitors, Honda workers earn an average of $49 per hour, at Toyota it's $48 per hour, Nissan is $42 per hour, and Hyundai-Kia pays $41 per hour. The lower import wages are aided by their greater use of temporary workers compared to the domestics. Automotive News says the ten-dollar gap between those foreign camakers and the domestics turns out to about an extra $250 per car in labor, which adds up quickly when you're pumping out many millions of cars. That $250-per-car number is one that, come negotiating time, the Detroit 3 will want to reduce, as the UAW is trying to raise both Tier 1 and Tier 2 wages. Another wrinkle is that the domestic carmakers are considering the wide adoption of a third wage level lower than Tier 2. Some workers who do minor tasks like assembling parts trays kits and battery packs already make less than Tier 2, but the UAW will be quite wary about cementing yet another wage scale at the bottom of the system while it's trying to fight a bigger battle at the top.
