1966 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Hardtop Sedan- 4 Door on 2040-cars
Fort Worth, Texas, United States
Up for auction I have a beautiful Rust Free, 1966 Corvair Monza Sport Sedan with 58,XXX original miles. I purchased this "Barn Find" from an Estate in California a couple of years ago and brought it back to Texas for rejuvenation.
I had the exterior repainted the original Cameo Beige which turned out very nice. I would rate it an 8 out of 10. The interior has been redone with a mix of fabric and vinyl, along with new carpet and padding. The headliner, door panels and dash pad are original but look great with no rips, tears or stains. I've added a Kenwood stereo with CD along with 4 speakers. There was no cutting done, so the originality is still present if you chose to remove them. The system also is set up with Bluetooth so you can drive hands free if need to receive a call. Below is a list of all items that I've replaced or repaired. * New 15" BF Goodrich TA Radials with freshly Powder Coated Wheels -Including the Spare * New Brake System-All components including Master Cylinder * New Idler Arm * New Vinyl Top * New Wheel Moldings * New Door Strips and Seals including Fuzzies * New Electric Fuel Pump- Airtex E8016S * New Interior as mentioned above * New Rear Tail Lenses with LED inserts * All Engine Tin was powder coated * Engine was resealed * New Blower Fan Bearing * New Alternator with Proper Conversion * 4 Fresh Carb Rebuilds- Steve Goodman of Rear Engine Specialists * New Battery (2013) * New Emergency Brake Cable All fluids were changed including the Transmission and pan gasket If you are looking for a Turn Key Corvair, this is it.....This is not a project. All you have to do is drive this one. The only known leak is from the shifter cable on the transmission. It will leak some if left sitting more ( about 1 Tablespoon) than 2 weeks. We have tried to reseal twice with no success. The car runs and shift great. No shakes, shimmies or vibrations. This is one nice cruising Vair!! I'm a member of the local Corvair Club as well as CORSA. The last Corvair show I participated in we won * Best Interior* and *Best Engine Compartment* I will be happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have. Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!! Please remember that this is a 48 Year Old Car and is sold with No Warranty.

Once again, Rust Free!!! The underside is also very clean and rust free. |

Chevy teases next-gen Volt at fan event in LA
Thu, Nov 20 2014Barely two months before its planned debut at the 2015 North American International Auto Show, Chevrolet has released yet another batch of teaser images of its second-generation Volt. Unlike the first image, though, which just showed the car's rear badge, there's a lot more to this quartet of shots. The first three images show off the nose of the next-gen model and come from a fan event in Los Angeles. What we can see is a sleeker front end, with an evolution of the silver grille inserts previously seen on the original Volt and Spark EV. Gone is the current car's split upper grille, in favor of a more conventional arrangement. The sharper, more angular headlights are also an evolution of the lamps seen on the current Volt. Chevrolet also took the opportunity to announce a new location-based charging system that uses GPS to adjust the vehicle's charge settings, including the charge level, while also announcing that the next-gen car will feature more intuitive charge indicators that will be better able to inform owners of their car's charging level. The tech will mean that the Volt 'knows' when it is parked at home, and can thus automatically optimize charging for off-peak times, and so on. Take a look at the teaser images at the top of the page, and then head below for Chevy's press release announcing the new features. Next-Gen Chevy Volt Offers More User-Friendly Charging 2014-11-20 GPS makes charging more convenient Portable charger is easier to access Intuitive visual cues show charge status DETROIT – If there's one thing Chevrolet Volt owners love about their cars, it's being able to recharge the battery easily. Evidence of that is a U.S. Department of Energy study that shows more than 80 percent of all trips by Volt owners did not use the range extender. Chevrolet has made the charging system in the next-generation Volt even easier for customers to recharge the battery – and to check the charge status. The next-generation Volt debuts in January at the North American International Auto Show. "Chevrolet used the real-world experiences of today's Volt owners to make the charging process simpler and more convenient in the next-generation Volt," said Andrew Farah, chief engineer for the Volt.
Corvette Z06 and Viper TA square off at the strip
Wed, Jan 21 2015There are many long-standing grudge matches among automobiles: 911 vs GT-R, Mustang vs Camaro, Ferrari vs Lamborghini... but as far as high-end American metal goes, it doesn't get much more legendary than Viper vs 'Vette. So after Chevy released the new Corvette Z06, we knew it was only a matter of time before it would have to square off against the Viper TA. And what better place to pit these two parallel pillars of American performance than on the drag strip? Fortunately that's just what we have here. In one corner, the 2014 Dodge Viper TA, with its 8.4-liter V10 pumping out 640 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque. In the other, the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, the supercharger on its 6.2-liter V8 more than making up for the discrepancy in displacement and cylinder count to produce 650 hp and just as much torque. But numbers don't tell the whole story, so watch the video clip to see which reaches the end of the quarter-mile first.

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica
Fri, 03 Aug 2012If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
