1965 Chevrolet Corvair Corsa Convertible! 140 Hp 4 Speed! Gorgeous Car! on 2040-cars
Saint Louis, Missouri, United States
|
1965 was the first year for the totally redesigned Corvair. This particular example is finished in period correct Medira Maroon over a beautiful black interior and is a rare Corsa convertible model which featured a higher output 4 carburetor 140 HP air cooled flat 6 cylinder engine. This uncommon classic also boasts a 4 speed manual transmission and rally dash.
As can be seen in the photos, this Corvair is in superb condition having received a thorough cosmetic and mechanical restoration over the last 3 to 4 years. Interior is all new, paint is approximately 1 year old and was done professionally at a considerable expense. This car also has 15" Chevy rally wheels, new weather strips, a rebuilt engine and transmission, new clutch as well as rebuilt suspension and brakes and more... The result is a show quality vehicle that can be driven on a regular basis. The car tracks perfectly straight even at highway speeds and brakes solid with no swerving, it is a blast to drive and garners a lot of attention wherever it goes! All lights function properly, there are no electrical issues, no battery drains, car always starts readily and runs strong. Overall I would rate this example as a very solid 3+ high quality driver. It is very showable and could even be an award contender at local level shows. However, it is not flawless or a trailer queen. Chrome presents well but does show some age, convertible top is older and in average condition but is totally usable as is. Trunk compartment is extremely nice, engine compartment is presentable but would benefit from a thorough detailing. Undercarriage is extremely solid with no rot or rust damage. Please view the photos and contact me with questions. I have sold literally hundreds of cars on the internet over the years and will gladly answer all questions as well as assist with shipping arrangements. Buyer is responsible for shipping costs. $500 deposit is required to secure the vehicle, cash, cashier's check, and bank wire transfer are all acceptable forms of payment. I HAVE ADDITIONAL PHOTOS and 2 videos, serious potential buyers please email me for more photos and links to videos, or call, Jamie 314-368-4564. Anyone who wishes to see the car in person is more than welcome to, just contact me to make arrangements. Corvair Corsa Convertibles in this condition are a very rare find, act quickly! I have a tremendous amount of money tied up in this car and am not in any way desperate to sell it. If you what to make fixer-upper offers, then buy a fixer-upper and find out for yourself how expensive it is to restore a car, not to mention the time commitment to get it sorted out after restoration. For those that understand the value inherent in buying a "done" car, this one is for you, all serious offers will be considered. |

What car should James Robertson buy to drive his famous 21-mile commute?
Thu, Feb 5 2015The Internet has been abuzz this week with the story of Detroit resident James Robertson, the 56-year-old factory worker who has walked some 21 miles to work for the last 10 years. The Detroit Free Press brought Robertson's story to the fore, helping an online fundraising campaign to generate more than $275,000 (as of this writing). The original goal was just $5,000, or about enough to replace the used Honda that died on Robertson back in 2005, and left him walking. So, newly flush with funds, what's the perfect car for Robertson to buy? Let's look at the specifics of his situation, and try to pick out the best options. Here's what we know: Robertson's commute is (famously) 21 miles; he lives in downtown Detroit (for now) and seems pretty humble, so something very flashy is probably out; former Honda aside, his ties to the city (and statements about being a Ford fan) seem to indicate a Detroit Three company product is best; he's a single guy with a girlfriend; he's got to deal with Michigan weather, and the sometimes fickle snow removal processes in The D. Here are some choices: Ford F-150 Robertson is on record as being a Taurus fan, and after a decade of walking I've no doubt that the big sedan would offer a cozy respite. Still, as a car guy and a student of the industry, I'd have a hard time recommending a sedan so clearly in need of replacement. Especially when The Blue Oval has such great stuff within the rest of its roster. The 2015 F-150 seems almost perfect for Robertson. Opting for either of the new EcoBoost V6 engines should help keep fuel bills in reasonable check, while healthy ride height and four-wheel drive will get him to work on time even during the snowiest of snow days. Better still, with a fat options sheet and car-like ride quality, Robertson can have just about every amenity he might want, in a package that won't disrespect his blue-collar roots. Chevrolet Colorado You guys saw this one coming, right? The smaller footprint of the midsize Chevy pickup, relative to some of the other options here, should be an advantage for urban parking and driving. And again, 4x4 is an option for the nasty weather, the running costs should stay pretty low and there aren't many tech/luxury features that can't be had in-cabin. I'd go ahead and splash out on the Crew Cab bodystyle, too, just in case Robertson feels like starting a carpool.

GM Halts Sale Of Most Chevy Cruze Models
Fri, Mar 28 2014General Motors has told dealers to stop selling some 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Cruze compact cars. But the company won't say why. Dealers say stop-sale orders are routine and almost always made to fix a safety problem. They received the order in an e-mail Thursday, but no reason was given. The move comes as GM deals with fallout from a delayed recall of 1.6 million older small cars to fix an ignition switch problem. The company says the switches can slip out of the run position and shut down the engine. That causes loss of power steering and brakes and disables air bags. GM says the problem has been linked to 31 crashes and at least a dozen deaths. Spokesman Greg Martin says he has no details on the Cruze.
