     This listing is for a 1963 Chevrolet Corvair Monza 900 with a manual transmission.  It has a black exterior and a red interior.  The car's exterior includes an impressive amount of chrome on pieces such as the front headlights, the back of the side mirror, and the trim along both sides of the car.  This car is in amazing condition for being more than 50 years old.  The vehicle comes with all analog gauges which can all be viewed in the pictures and videos.  The speedometer and gas gauge are responsive and accurate.  The odometer also works well (it can be seen turning in the video).  Both turn signals in the front of the car work very well.  Both headlights and high beams work well also.  The lights on the interior dash that blink when the turn signals are on both also work.  This vehicle comes with a fully functioning horn.  The windshield wipers are new and both of the wiper motors work.  The heater in the car blows warm air after a few minutes of warming up.  The switches on the dash used to activate things such as the radio, headlights, heater, turn signals, horn, etc work just as they should.  All four of the windows in the car work and go up and down as they should.  This car also comes with a functioning aftermarket radio system with three speaker fixtures integrated throughout the car.  There is one speaker underneath the dash and one on either side of the car in the rear.  These speakers produce good sound and can be heard in the video.  The headliner in this car has been replaced very recently (unlike many of the Corvairs that I've seen come up for sale).  As would be the case with any 50+ year old vehicle, there are a few subtle imperfections in the body (which can be seen in the pictures).  The odometer goes up to 99,999 miles and reads 31,355 miles so it may have turned all the way over in the past.  The six cylinder engine runs strong and starts up quickly.  The four speed manual transmission shifts through all gears smoothly.  I just got back from a 50 mile drive through a combination of rolling country roads and a few stretches of interstate.  I wouldn't think twice about taking this car across the country.  Truly a vintage pleasure to drive.

     There is nothing being intentionally hidden about this classic car, as so many people do in ads and auctions.  If there is something you should know about the car of which I am aware, it's available to you in the listing.  Use the combination of the photos, videos and text for full disclosure, with more emphasis on the photos and videos as the description is clearly not intended to be exhaustive.  As eBay says, a single picture is worth a thousand words.  eBay strongly recommends the best practice of providing as many photos as possible and letting the photos do the talking, rather than trying to describe in words what can be seen in a photo or trying to recreate in words what already is provided in photos.  I have gone far out of my way, unlike many other online sellers, by shooting hundreds and hundreds of photos in just about every imaginable angle for you to analyze.  By doing this you don't have to rely on a seller's "interpretation" of characteristics of the car, but instead you can draw your own conclusions from what you see.  My goal is that if you use everything I provide to you, you get a more thorough demonstration of the car than if you came to see a car in person.  With that being said, I still gave you my impression of the car's characteristics above as material for secondary analysis.  If your impression of a picture/video differs from what I've written or said, then your own opinion should govern your conclusion.  If you have any questions please message me through the eBay messaging system, which eBay indicates is always the preferred method of communication.  I will generally answer within a few hours.

     TRANSACTION RULES: A deposit of $500 is to be made by Paypal payment within 48 hours of listing close.  The remainder of the full payment is to be made within 7 calendar days of listing close by either cash in person or bank wire transfer.  Failure to make the full payment within 7 calendar days of listing close will result in the forfeiture of the $500 Paypal deposit and will result in the sale of the vehicle to another buyer.  If after you make the initial $500 Paypal deposit you change your mind and would no longer like to purchase the vehicle, you agree to forfeit the $500 Paypal deposit.  All shipping costs are the buyer's responsibility unless otherwise agreed upon.  Vehicle may only be picked up once full payment has been cleared.  Storage for the first 14 days is 100% FREE.  There is a storage charge of $25/week beyond 14 days after the end of the listing.  If you want to avoid these storage fees but can't pick the car up for months, I can set you up with a public storage unit under your name, put the car in there and Fedex you the keys, title, etc. as long as you have paid in advance.  You must read the entire auction description, follow the rules, and study each picture and video fully.  Any inspections must occur prior to the auction end.  I do not offer a warranty on anything that I sell, ever, as a matter of personal philosophy -- this Chevrolet Corvair is being sold AS-IS with absolutely no warranty of any kind expressed or implied --.  Other than what is seen in the videos/pictures, no testing of this car or its mechanical/electrical aspects have been done and there is no implication that something works on it that hasn't been specifically demonstrated to be working in a video or text; you should not assume something works or is present that would have worked or was present when this car was new.  For liability avoidance, I must state that all systems have to be professionally safety-checked prior to your use of this car.  You get the car as pictured, captured in the videos and described, a clean and clear title, a bill of sale, two keys, and any vehicle records that I have in my possession.  By placing a bid on this car, you agree to abide by the transaction rules.

This map reveals the cleanest vehicles based on location

Thu, Apr 28 2016

Naysayers love to point out how dirty the electricity grid mix is when it comes to charging electric vehicles. Curmudgeons are eager to jump into any conversation about EVs to enlighten the lucky listeners about how plug-in cars contribute to pollution, sometimes even throwing in a dash of climate-change denial for good measure. (Thanks, buddy. Pray, tell me more about the plight of oppressed SUV owners.) Unless someone buys an EV just because they think they're cool (which, yeah, they often are), they probably have at least a passable understanding of their environmental pros and cons. As many EV owners are already aware, location has a lot to do with any particular plug-in car's carbon footprint. Still, there's always more to know, and knowledge is not a bad thing, especially if one uses it to do the right thing. That's why this handy-dandy map from Carnegie Mellon University is so interesting. CMU researchers have compiled information about the lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions of various EVs based on where they're charged, as compared to gasoline-powered vehicles. The researchers looked at the Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Volt, and Prius Plug-In Hybrid versus the gasoline-dependent Toyota Prius hybrid and the stop-start-equipped Mazda3 with i-ELOOP and compared grams of CO2 emitted per mile. CMU takes into account the grid mix, ambient temperature, and driving patterns. CMU takes into account the grid mix based on county, as well as ambient temperature and driving patterns in terms of miles traveled on the highway or in the city. For instance, if you drive a Nissan Leaf in urban areas of California, Texas, or Florida, your carbon footprint is lower than it would be if you were driving a standard Toyota Prius. However, if you charge your Leaf in the Midwest or the South, for the most part, you've got a larger carbon footprint than the Prius. If you live in the rural Midwest, you'd probably even be better off driving a Mazda3. Throughout the country, the Chevrolet Volt has a larger carbon footprint than the Toyota Prius, but a smaller one than the Mazda3 in a lot of urban counties in the US. The Prius and Prius Plug-In are relatively equal across the US. Having trouble keeping it straight? That's not surprising. The comparisons between plug-in and gasoline vehicles are much more nuanced than the loudest voices usually let on.

Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating

Mon, Aug 6 2018

Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.

GM Recalling 370,000 Trucks For Fire Risk

Mon, Jan 13 2014

DETROIT (AP) - General Motors is recalling 370,000 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups from the 2014 model year to fix software that could cause the exhaust components to overheat and start a fire. The recall includes 303,000 trucks in the U.S. and 67,000 in Canada and Mexico. All of the trucks involved have 4.3-liter or 5.3-liter engines. GM said eight fires have been reported, but no injuries. One garage was damaged, the company said. All of the incidents occurred in cold weather. The company is asking customers not to leave their trucks idling unattended. GM dealers will reprogram the software for free. The company will inform owners starting Jan. 16. The major recall announcement, which came on Saturday, marred the Silverado's winning of the 2014 North American Truck of the Year Award at the Detroit Auto Show on Monday.
