Offered for sale is our delightful 1963 1/2 California Chevrolet Corvair Greenbrier. This van was produced in small numbers from 1961 to 1965. This particular example has benefited from low, long-term ownership and has always been a Southern California car, residing much of its life in the “Inland Empire” away from coast. It’s a rust-free van that was restored to a very eye-pleasing driver-quality level, and it runs even better than it looks. It’s simply a joy to drive and has plenty of power to spare. It will pass a VW bus on a grade and you can wave a happy “Hawaiian Shaka” to the slow moving snail! It elicits numerous thumbs-up as you cruise this nicely two-toned attention getter! With all but the rear two windows able to be rolled down, the breezes billow throughout the cabin and the visibility is astounding! On the day of the photo shoot, we stopped for a cup of coffee on the Coast Highway in Huntington Beach, the Greenbrier van became immediately swamped by admirers and the questions were flying! Everyone is curious as to the origins of this cool looking coastal cruiser! It truly is a Southern California beach icon. With the drastically rising price values of the quintessential Volkswagen van, discerning buyers are looking at other affordably priced options. Virtually the only other people-carrying van of this era that is rear-engine and air-cooled, it mimicked VW’s finer points but surpassed much of the obsolete design with somewhat radical (for the time) car engineering concepts. The Corvair 95 platform is of “forward control” design, meaning the steering gear was mounted ahead of the front wheels. A raised-deck floor is required to clear the engine. The engine is Corvair’s air-cooled opposed six-cylinder was named “Turbo Air”. It displaces 145 cubic inches and is fed by twin carburetors. With four-wheel independent suspension and weight equally divided between front and rear means that the handling characteristics are superb, loaded or unloaded. Folks, Ralph Nader was wrong---dead wrong oops he is still alive and so is the Corvair's Mechanically, the Chevy van starts right up on first try and purrs along while it drives. The brakes are excellent, but as drum brakes one needs to know that it will not provide disc-brake efficiency. Tires are brand new The restoration was all performed during the last 6 Months so much of the car looks shiny and bright! The new chrome glimmers in the California sunshine, the newly upholstered seats are comfy and the new carpeting adds a nice touch! All of the correct and original emblems are on the car. All of the mechanicals have been dealt with and improved, so rest assured this is a reliable, enjoyable driver! If you desire a clean, original California Corvair van, then look no further than this awesome 1963 1/2 Chevrolet Greenbrier!

Chevy Bolt wins 2017 Green Car of the Year
Thu, Nov 17 2016We knew that a plug-in vehicle was going to win the 2017 Green Car of the Year award this year, given that all five finalists have a way to charge up. And when Ron Cogan, the editor and publisher of Green Car Journal, announced the winner – the 2017 Chevy Bolt EV – he said that the car itself represents one of those times in the auto industry when everything is about to change. Similar to the invention of the starter motor, things are about to get different. For now, though, the fact that the Bolt EV won an award sounds like the same old thing all over again. Just this week, it was named Motor Trends Car of the Year and to the Car And Driver Top 10 list. The other four finalists for Green Car of the Year included the Toyota Prius Prime, the Chrysler Pacifica, the Kia Optima (including hybrid and plug-in hybrid models) and the BMW 330e iPerformance. Last year, the winner was the 2016 Chevy Volt. Did Green Car Journal make the right selection this year? See the award ceremony below.

Camaro driver clocked at 171 miles per hour
Wed, Apr 13 2016Chevy's 2016 Camaro SS is a fantastic piece of automotive engineering. It is also, apparently, very, very fast. This latter fact was perfectly illustrated when, on April 8, a Camaro SS driver was nailed in Two Harbors, Minnesota for doing 171 mph. According to WFAA, the unnamed speed demon was flying down Highway 61 near Two Harbors when Hermantown, MN Deputy Police Chief Shawn Padden clocked him at an eye-watering 171 mph. He then recorded the speeder at 168 and 141. At the time, Deputy Chief Padden was working with Minnesota State Patrol on an anti-DWI program called "Toward Zero Deaths". Padden, who was interviewed by the Duluth News Tribune, said he was surprised at the driver's sheer speed. "When he went by me, it was a blur," Padden told the News. "You get used to seeing people going 65 or 70 and what that looks like. But I've never seen anything like this. It's like a rocket on wheels." Fadden chased the Camaro down eventually, but it took some doing. To catch the Camaro, he pushed his Dodge Charger Pursuit to 135 mph just to get into range so the Camaro could see his emergency lights. The speeding driver was ticketed for careless driving, but may lose his license due to a Minnesota law that gives courts the option of revoking licenses for drivers caught doing more than 100 mph.
