1964 Corvair Rampside pickup. Final year they built this truck, and it's very rare. Chevy only built 851 of them in 1964. This is not a show truck; it's a daily driver work truck. But it starts, runs, shifts, and stops just like it should. Powerglide 2-speed automatic transmission. Everything works except for the cigarette lighter. I mean wipers, horn, turn signals, brake lights, etc. Steers nice and tight, brakes even and safely, just passed inspection. Heater works, but for some reason the fan only is off or high. I don't know if the fan motor is bad, or the switch. But it gets plenty warm from just the engine fan.

The truck is not perfect. There's some rust under the corner of the driver's side of the cab, and a previous owner riveted in metal. If I were keeping it I'd probably cut and weld that. It also had a spotlight installed on the driver's side, and big side mirrors that I removed, so there's holes that I covered with black duct tape.

It easily runs 70+ on the interstate, and it's stable and tracks true. Brand new tires. Chevy rally wheels. I expected these trucks to be really slow, but this runs 0-60 about as fast as the Corvair sedan with PG.

The odometer is showing 79K miles, but I don't know if that's original or not. The motor is an original truck block (oil filler out the back access door), but it's not original to this truck. I don't know when it was swapped; it was that way when I bought it. It starts and runs without burning oil or leaking.

Extras: I've got new Clarks armrests for it, and windshield weatherstrip. What's in there now was leaking when it rained, so I ordered new ones and never installed them, because some silicone caulk seemed to solve the problem. I've also got the windshield washer nozzle, and a few other odds and ends. The truck has been worked on by Corvair Ranch in Gettysburg, PA (rebuilt carbs, brakes, starter ring on the torque converter, converted back to generator from alternator).

I've owned the truck for about three years. I'm selling it because I recently bought a 1960 Corvair 700 Club Coupe that's taking all my attention, so the Rampside hasn't been driven much lately. Would make a great restoration project, or just a nice looking daily driver as is. People always stop me to ask about this truck, because it's so unusual.

I've also got it for sale locally, so I may end the auction early if it sells here. For shipping purposes, the closest pick-up spot would be Berkeley Springs, WV.

Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.

Netflix to feature electric cars from GM and others in programming

Sun, Feb 5 2023

LOS ANGELES — Netflix has unveiled a new star for some of its upcoming programming: electric vehicles from General Motors and other automakers. The streaming service announced an agreement on Thursday to feature vehicles including the Chevrolet Bolt, the electric GMC Hummer pickup and the Cadillac Lyriq in TV series and films "where relevant." The companies will highlight the partnership in a commercial featuring Will Ferrell that will air during the Feb. 12 Super Bowl. Netflix and GM called the agreement "part of a commitment to a more sustainable future." Financial terms were not disclosed. Netflix said it will help creators "better understand how EVs can complement and enhance their stories." Shows that will feature GM's electric vehicles include "Love is Blind," "Queer Eye" and "Unstable." Netflix productions also will include electric vehicles made by other automakers, the company said.
