1966 Chevrolet Corvair Corsa Coupe 140 4 Speed Vintage on 2040-cars
Greenville, South Carolina, United States
|
I am selling this 1966 Corsa for a long time friend of mine who had owned it for well over 30 years. He has owned many Corvairs over the years, and this coupe and a 1965 Corsa turbo convertible are the best two of his cars and both were primarily used in corvair club events ,primarily being car shows in the area. He took pride in both of these cars and they were always maintained in top condition. This is a stunning coupe that looks fantastic and shows why the late corvair is one of the best body designs to come out of GM in the 60s. Light weight, strong unit construction and fully independent suspension and and great high winding 4 carb engine make these models a blast to drive today. This car is a numbers matching coupe and is an original Corsa (willow run produced) with a 140 HP engine(TO224RB).The paint code is N-N Madeira Maroon. 7,330 Corsa coupes were built in the US in 1966, the last year for the Corsa model 737. Most corvair people consider 1966 corvairs the best year built with the most improvements . The engine was completely rebuilt approximately 10 years ago at 72,872 miles and slightly modified , and it is smooth and fast. . I have a complete list of work performed at that time. It has re-jetted carbs and electronic Ignition. The brakes are good and it stops straight. It has a dual master cylinder upgrade. The exhaust is a fully welded Clarks system. This car has been in South Carolina for all of its life and the structure and underside is very clean and has not been covered up with paint or undercoat . There has been a small rust repair done at the battery tray area. The paint is in good to above average condition It is 8 to 10 years old and shows a few scratches here and there . It looks great and is a top notch finish ,except for 3 areas .The left rear behind the tire has some small paint bubbles ,along with both lower fenders just forward of the doors. Also there is a very small spot below the windshield right side fender. The last 4 photos show the areas. The bumpers show some minor wear and a couple scratches ,with one spot of weathering on the right front. Most all of the other trim and moldings are excellent. The interior shows no issues other than a blemish on the drivers door panel . But a new door panel is included with the sale. The headliner is great original , dash pad is perfect, as is the carpet and seat upholstery. The drivers seat is a little soft and may need some new padding to make it like new. There are no tears . The rear area is carpeted and looks very nice. The radio has a power antenna installed so the car cover fits snug. The tires and wheels are 14" chevy steel wheels with 205 70 14 tires. If you have any questions regarding the corsa feel free to ask ,I can also supply the owners contact info . |

Peter Max staring down $1M lawsuit over Corvette collection sale
Wed, Dec 17 2014Pop artist Peter Max recently sold off his collection of 36 vintage Chevrolet Corvettes – one each from 1953 to 1989 – for an undisclosed amount. The new owners have already announced plans to restore some of them and auction the models off sometime soon. Up until then, the sports cars had been languishing in various garages around New York City for decades and were caked in dust and grime. However, Max's end of the transaction has just become more complicated, because two men are suing the artist claiming he employed them to complete the deal first. The men allege that Max hired them to broker the sale of the 36 Corvettes in exchange for a 10-percent commission, according to the New York Post. They claim to have emails and text messages proving the existence of the deal, and are taking Max to court for $1 million over the squabble. The collection of Corvettes was amassed in 1989 as part of a prize package from the television network VH1, and Max bought the cars from the winner intending on using them for an art project. He never got around to it, though, and parked the sports cars around New York, until he finally sold them over the summer.
GM laying off 500 workers to slow Chevy Sonic production
Sat, Oct 24 2015Due to slow sales of the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, General Motors is cutting a shift at the Orion Township plant that builds the pair. The move lays off about 500 workers, but most of them are expected to get offers to transfer to other factories, Automotive News reports. The move came just a day after GM announced adding 1,200 employees to the Detroit-Hamtramck plant. GM has been trying all year at the Orion Township factory to align production of the Sonic and Verano with their demand. The automaker first attempted idling the plant several times and eventually resorted to laying off about 100 workers. It also reduced the production rate there. With the huge rise in popularity of crossovers, demand for the plant's small cars is on the downturn. According to Automotive News, there's currently a 116-day supply of Sonics and 100 days of Veranos to sell. Delivers tell a similar tale because the Chevy is off 35.2 percent from January to September, and the Buick does little better with a 27.2 percent drop from the same period last year. While the situation at Orion Township might look rough now, big things are on the horizon. Soon, the new Chevy Bolt electric vehicle will be built there when it hits the market around 2017. Plus, the plant will also get a $245-million upgrade and 300 new jobs for another, unannounced vehicle.
C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan
Mon, 11 Feb 2013Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."
