1964 Chevrolet Corvair Convertible on 2040-cars

Omaha, Nebraska, United States

1964 Chevrolet Corvair Convertible.  VIN# 40967W272901.  Rare Power Top that works well.  Car is in very good condition, drives straight at interstate speeds with no shimmy and runs great.  Mechanically very sound and dependable worry-free driver, everything on the car works as it should both mechanically and electrically.  Nothing worse than driving a classic car and fearing every time you stop at a light the car will stall.  No surprises or trailer-darling here, this car is ready to drive! 

I purchased the car 4 years ago and replaced the gas tank, sending unit, fuel pump, had both carbs professionally rebuilt, new battery, rebuilt generator, new coil, distributor, wires, plugs, installed an AM\FM\CD\IPod Stereo (hidden in the glove box and closes as normal), 4 wheel brake job, lowered the frontend an inch for a better look and drive (no clearance issues), installed 4 new shocks, fixed power top and added rear seat seat-belts for safety.  Solid floors and trunk, no visible rust on exterior of car.  Interior in great shape with no tears or fading in seats, door panels or carpets.  Convertible top in excellent condition with no tears, cracking or fading.  Convertible top window clear and not yellowed, cracked or brittle.  Replaced both front and rear bumpers and bumper guards with high-quality replacements with a great chrome shine.  14” tires also in great shape with very good tread and never lose air.  Rims in OK condition with minimal pitting, but shine up nicely.  Glass in good shape all around, few small chips in windshield, but none spidered\spreading or impeding view.  Car always garaged in heated garage.  Automatic transmission that you shift from the On-Dash gear selector works perfectly with no issues.  Parking\Emergency brake works great.  Dual Snorkel air cleaner non-stock for  model, but feel it’s a better look.  Paint in very good condition with good shine and looks great.  Working odometer on car shows 14,541K miles, but unsure of actual miles as title doesn't show “in-excess” or state mileage of last transfer.  Assuming 114K miles, but with a Convertible up-North, unsure.  Runs very smooth with good power, no smoke and always starts right up and never stalls. Have Owners Manual, Service Manual, Convertible Top Cover, Car Cover and other small misc parts that will go with car.

A true classic convertible that turns heads without breaking the budget!  I’ve decided to sell because with 3 young kids, my priorities have changed for now and simply don’t have time to drive it like I should.

Full Disclosure Issues- Slight oil leak when sitting as common with Corvairs, but minimal.  Small dent on top driver’s side quarter, smaller than the size of quarter (see Pic). Previous owner did cut rear door panels to install speakers (I would never do) but at least they did a nice job.  Front panels in tact and stock.  Speakers look good and sound great.  

Clear Illinois Title- I spent most of time repairing car to be road worthy and never titled in Nebraska.  My intention was to register the “Classic YOM Plates” as seen on car and never got around to it (lengthy process).  Have clear Illinois title and valid signed bill of sale from previous owner and myself.

Payment due within 7 days of sale and car will not ship without full and cleared payment, no exceptions.  Buyer responsible for pickup and\or any shipping charges. 

Bid with confidence, but please only bid on the car if you intend to buy it.  The car is for sale and will sell to the highest bidder.  

I know I'd be leery of buying a car online, so I welcome onsite inspections during the auction from buyers or buyer’s agents, but when the auction end, the sale is final. Also, please message me for any additional information or questions and I'll do my best to answer.  If requested, I can also provide my mobile number.  Back in '08 I sold a 1968 Camaro for just over $25K and the buyer left feedback as the transaction being an 11 on a scale of 1-10. Please check my feedbacks over the years.

My reserve is well below the NADA “Average Retail” of the car and by no means would I classify this as “an average 1964 Corvair Convertible”.  Reserve also far below Hagerty's "lowest condition scale of 4".  I would scale the car between a 2 and 3.  My reserve is below these values as I'm ready to sell the car.  Summer is nearly here, time to get into a classic ragtop and go topless!

Opel pulls out of Russia, GM to focus on Cadillac, 'iconic' Chevys

Wed, Mar 18 2015

General Motors is going to realign its priorities in the struggling Russian marketplace, withdrawing its Opel brand and pulling out mainstream Chevrolet models. Instead, the General will take aim at Russia's well-established oligarchy, pushing Cadillac as well as "iconic" Chevrolet models, like the Corvette, Camaro and Tahoe. "This change in our business model in Russia is part of our global strategy to ensure long-term sustainability in markets where we operate," GM president Dan Ammann said in a statement. "This decision avoids significant investment into a market that has very challenging long-term prospects." Russian customers interested in an Opel or mainstream Chevys like the Spark, Aveo (the US market Sonic), Cobalt (shown above), Cruze, Orlando and the like have until December to snap up a car before the brands are pulled. "We do not have the appropriate localization level for important vehicles built in Russia and the market environment does not justify a major investment to further localize." Opel Group CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann said. GM will continue to offer service to customers in Russia. "We can assure our customers that we will continue to provide warranty, parts and services for their Chevrolet and Opel vehicles," Neumann said. Beyond realigning its brands in Russia, GM also announced that it would also be idling the company's factory in the country's second-largest city, St. Petersburg. This is the second time the St. Petersburg factory has been in the news – GM announced that it'd be idled for roughly two months back in February. Scroll down for the official press release from GM. GM to Change Business Model in Russia 2015-03-18 Focus on Cadillac and iconic Chevrolet vehicles Wind down Opel brand and sale of mainstream Chevrolet cars Idle GM Auto manufacturing facility in St. Petersburg Part of GM's strategy to ensure long-term sustainability in global markets DETROIT – General Motors today announced plans to change its business model in Russia. GM will focus on the premium segment of the Russian market with Cadillac and U.S.-built iconic Chevrolet products such as the Corvette, Camaro and Tahoe. The Chevrolet brand will minimize its presence in Russia and the Opel brand will leave the market by December 2015. "This change in our business model in Russia is part of our global strategy to ensure long-term sustainability in markets where we operate," said GM President Dan Ammann.

Refreshed 2014 Camaro confirmed for New York debut

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

We've already seen leaked specs and potential spy shots, but the refreshed 2014 Chevrolet Camaro will make its official debut at the New York Auto Show in a few weeks.
Besides a tweaked exterior and the possibility of a high-output LS7 under the hood, we really don't know much else about the 2014 Camaro, but here's hoping for an improved interior, too.
In addition to the refreshed Camaro, Chevrolet will also be showing off the recently introduced Chevrolet SS, making its debut on the auto show circuit, and we'll also get our first look at the C7 Corvette coupe and convertible side-by-side.

GM won't sell 2014 Chevrolet SS in Canada

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

Allow us to be the first to extend our condolences to our friends to the north. General Motors has announced the 2014 Chevrolet SS will not be available in Canada. The Globe and Mail reports the automaker has confirmed the high-performance sedan won't hit Canadian dealers, though GM hasn't offered up any reasoning as to why that is.
Buyers here in the US of A, meanwhile, can look forward to getting their hands on the 415-horspower, rear-wheel drive SS by late summer. Something tells us it won't be long after that before Canadian officials start seeing individually imported 6.2-liter V8 four-doors in their neighborhoods. Fortunately, Canadian buyers will still be able to take home the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The C7 bowed at the Canadian International Auto Show last week, reportedly drawing sizable crowds and interest.
