Everything on the interior of this car is in very good condition. Needs nothing other than new owner cruising around town in it. 
Exterior: Rare Factory Black Exterior
 The paint on the car is the factory Black color. It was repainted 15 years ago when the car was fully restored. Today I would rate the paint quality at Driver Condtion. There are chips and dullness to hood and trunk along with areas of the paint starting to craze/check. It is real nice 20 footer that is Totally drivable/ usable the way it is but to be perfect could use repaint. Body lines look straight on the car. A small area in front quarter panel appears to have been repaired in the past but still looks good. Floors on the car were all replaced 10 years ago when restored and are in great solid shape. 
Underneath the car is real solid(seephotos) Overall a good solid Rare Corvair.

Front bumper is great condtion along with bumper gaurds. 

Rear bumper with need re-chromed. Chrome is chipping off in spots on top but bumper is very solid. 
Original spinner wire wheel hup caps are in great shape.
Tires have like new tread but are old style bias ply. 

Engine: 
This car starts up easily and runs good.  I do not know much about these Turbo cars and how that all works. The engine does smoke some and has small oil leak. Mechanic said there is a bad O ring seal.  Not hard to fix and seals are cheap. Otherwise Car runs and drives nice the way it is.
4 speed Transmission shifts smoothly into all gears and clutch feels great. 

This past month the following was completed after car was removed from collection storage...
-Drained Gas Tank, Cleaned and refilled w/ Fresh Gas
-Oil Change
-New Battery
-New Voltage Regulator
-New Cap Rotor and wires
-Checked brakes
 
CONVERTIBLE TOP:
 Top frame is rust free and in good condition. Top is a manual drop top.
 Fabric on the top will need replaced. They run about $220 for new material with new window. Top has small tear in two spots otherwise very useable. Back window however is brittle and has cracked in some places. 
 
SUMMARY… This is a rare desirable Corvair that is super Fun to drive. Gets compliments constantly when out cruising around. 
This car is ready for new owner to give it some TLC tinkering on the minor items while enjoying driving today.
 I have tried to be very detailed and describe all I know about car. Email questions. Thanks!

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.

Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.
