1965 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Coupe 140hp Low Mileage on 2040-cars
Henderson, Nevada, United States
|
Beautiful 1965 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Coupe. Restoration over the past 16 months brought this car to look like new. Still having only 44,508 miles and garaged all it's life this car was purchased 3/21/65 in Hayward, California and ended up in Las Vegas, Nevada. The car never left the west coast. I am the third owner. Car had spent a few months as a lease/demo then sold with full warranty in 1965. The car was built in Chevrolets Van Nuys plant in Los Angeles. Always maintained well and has been in a "smoke-free" home. THIS CAR HAS NO RUST AT ALL! Car still has valid "original black plates" that were on the car from day one!
Features or options on the car were, 140 HP engine, telescopic wood wheel with "quick steering option",remote outside mirror (mechanism in place but removed outside mirror for appearance. Powerglide automatic transmission, padded dash, am radio with rear antenna,deluxe seat belts with retractors, spare tire lock. Here's some of the work done in the restoration: All trim work professionally powder coated. All new brakes installed. All four carbs rebuilt and painted. Also replaced the vacuum choke controls. Replaced alternator with higher amp model. New dual master cylinder for brakes. Replaced torque convertor and new seal. Replaced vacuum modulator. New idler pulley, new belt also. New engine seal. New engine mount. New "U" joints installed. New wheel bearings. Engine gone through, everything adjusted, new spark plugs/wires and everything that was in question was replaced, nothing overlooked. Complete oil change and lube suspension. Has KONI shocks. ALL NEW INTERIOR, NEW CARPET KIT, ALL SEATS REDONE,NEW HEADLINER AND BOTH VISORS,NEW GLOVEBOX. Installed seat extender for tall driver, extra 3 inches of room. NEW CUSTOM 15 INCH CHROME SUMMIT RACING WHEELS WITH LOCKS INSTALLED. ALL NEW TIRES FRONT AND REAR. Car does need a couple of things done still, door hinges making some "clicking sound" when opening doors so you may want to replace them down the road. Radio not hooked up. All in all this car would be considered by most a very good condition professionally restored antique automobile. The cars a big hit at the shows! Perfect time of year to purchase a car before all the car shows start. Buyer will send deposit of $500.00 at auction close. Final arrangements will be communicated at auction close. |

Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes
Tue, 28 Aug 2012
Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.
Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
Consumer Reports no longer recommends Honda Civic
Mon, Oct 24 2016Consumer Reports annual Car Reliability Survey is out, and yes, there are some big surprises. First and foremost? The venerable publication no longer recommends the Honda Civic. In fact, aside from the walking-dead CR-Z and limited-release Clarity fuel-cell car, the Civic is the only Honda to miss out on CR's prestigious nod. At the opposite end there's a surprise as well – Toyota and Lexus remain the most reliable brands on the market, but Buick cracked the top three. That's up from seventh last year, and the first time for an American brand to stand on the Consumer Reports podium. Mazda's entire lineup earned Recommended checks as well. Consumer Reports dinged the Civic for its "infuriating" touch-screen radio, lack of driver lumbar adjustability, the limited selection of cars on dealer lots fitted with Honda's popular Sensing system, and the company's decision to offer LaneWatch instead of a full-tilt blind-spot monitoring system. Its score? A lowly 58. The Civic isn't the only surprise drop from CR's Recommended ranks. The Audi A3, Ford F-150, Subaru WRX/STI, and Volkswagen Jetta, GTI, and Passat all lost the Consumer Reports' checkmark. On the flipside, a number of popular vehicles graduated to the Recommended ranks, including the BMW X5, Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Cruze, Hyundai Santa Fe, Porsche Macan, and Tesla Model S. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the hilariously recall-prone Ford Escape getting a Recommended check – considering the popularity of Ford's small crossover, this is likely a coup for the brand, as it puts the Escape on a level playing field with the Recommended Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue. While Ford is probably happy to see CR promote the Escape, the list wasn't as kind for every brand. For example, of the entire Fiat Chrysler Automobiles catalog, the ancient Chrysler 300 was the only car to score a check – there wasn't a single Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, or Ram on the list. That hurts. FCA isn't alone at the low end, either. GMC, Jaguar Land Rover, Mini, and Mitsubishi don't have a vehicle on CR's list between them, while brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Nissan, Lincoln, Infiniti, and Cadillac only have a few models each.
