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 . |

2016 Chevy Volt to make auto show debut this season
Wed, Jul 30 2014Ever since we saw that spy shots of the 2016 Chevy Volt, we've been hungering for more information on the next-gen version of GM's green halo car. It appears we might not have long to wait, at least for an official tease. An inside source that wishes to remain anonymous told AutoblogGreen that GM will make two announcements regarding the second-gen Volt at the CAR Management Briefing Seminars in Traverse City, MI next week. The first, and most intriguing, is that that we will get our first glimpse of the new Volt at some point during the upcoming auto show season. That means either Los Angeles later this year or else Detroit, Chicago or New York in early 2015. The second bit of news is that GM will be moving production of the electric motors from Mexico to Michigan. Details and official confirmation are, of course, missing and Chevrolet declined comment to AutoblogGreen. We should know more next week.
Reuss says GM diesel plans are still on pace
Fri, Oct 16 2015General Motors is not going to let Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal ruin its plans for a new line of efficient, torquey oil-burners, the company's Executive Vice President Mark Reuss said at a recent press event. "No way," Reuss responded when asked about cancelling the upcoming diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze and other vehicles. "The Cruze Diesel is too good not to do it." Slated for 2017, the compact is just the latest member of a diesel offensive that initially kicked off with the first Cruze Diesel and most recently saw the introduction of the oil-burning Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. Reuss also reassured those in attendance that there was "no delay" in development of Cadillac's diesel lineup. Cadillac is working on a line of four- and six-cylinder turbodiesels for Europe. They'd make their way into the US market, too, eventually. "It's a question of timing," Reuss said, according to Car and Driver. Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal has caused automakers across the globe to at least reanalyze their diesel strategy. Jaguar Land Rover, which is preparing several diesel-powered models for the US market, went on record late last month to reaffirm its commitment to diesel.

Nissan recalls 3.5 million vehicles over airbag sensor
Sat, Apr 30 2016Nissan is recalling 3.53 million vehicles globally – 3.2 million in the United States – because the front passenger airbag may or may not deploy properly in the event of a crash. In affected vehicles, the occupant sensing system may not properly register a person sitting in the passenger seat. Passenger-side airbags in roughly 622,000 Nissan Sentra models built between 2013 and 2016 may deploy in crashes when they shouldn't, such as when a child is in the seat. 2016-2017 Nissan Maxima, 2013-2016 Nissan Altima, NV200, and LEAF, 2013-2017 Nissan Pathfinder, 2014-2016 Nissan NV200 Taxi, Infiniti QX60 and Q50, 2014-2017 Nissan Rogue, 2015-2016 Nissan Murano, Chevrolet City Express and 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles suffer from the opposite problem. In those models, the airbag may not deploy when it is supposed to. Nissan is aware of at least three crashes where airbags in one of the above models did not function properly, resulting in "moderate injuries." There have already been four recalls since 2013 for similar issues in Nissan vehicles. If you own one of these cars, expect a letter from Nissan in short order (or from GM if you own a Chevy City Express). Related Video: RECALL Subject : Passenger Air Bag may not Deploy due to OCS Error , 1 INVESTIGATION(S) Report Receipt Date: APR 26, 2016 NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V244000 Component(s): AIR BAGS Manufacturer: Nissan North America, Inc. SUMMARY: Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Nissan Maxima, 2013-2016 Nissan Altima, NV200, LEAF and Sentra, 2013-2017 Nissan Pathfinder, 2014-2016 Nissan NV200 Taxi, Infiniti QX60 and Q50, 2014-2017 Nissan Rogue, 2015-2016 Nissan Murano, Chevrolet City Express and 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles. In these vehicles, the front seat passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) may incorrectly classify an adult passenger as a child or classify the seat as empty despite it being occupied. As a result, the passenger frontal air bag may be turned off and not deploy in the event of a crash. CONSEQUENCE: If the passenger frontal air bag does not deploy as intended in the event of a crash, the passenger is at an increased risk of injury. REMEDY: Nissan will notify their owners. Chevrolet City Express owners will be notified by General Motors.
