 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.

 ******Just in case you didn't notice, this includes a period correct luggage rack and the stock 140 HP with a PowerGlide Transmission******
There wasn't too many of these made in 1966
Another item of interest is the Carb linkage, which is the updated and improved set up that Roger Parent sells
The last picture shows the car when I received it from California. Once again, Rust Free!!! The underside is also very clean and rust free.

This is your 2014 Chevrolet SS

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

Think you've waited long enough for this? If so, then you'll want to savor the high-res photos we've so far been given of the 2014 Chevrolet SS, the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from The Bowtie in 17 years.
We all know its our version of the brand new VF-model Holden Commodore, but what's under the hood that earns the appellation "performance?" A 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine producing 415 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. That's 35 hp and lb-ft less than the same engine is expected to produce in the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. Chevrolet says the sedan will get from 0-to-60 miles per hour "in about five seconds."
Shifting comes courtesy of a six-speed automatic with paddles on the steering wheel, while stopping arrive via four-piston Brembo calipers up front, a single sliding piston in back. The forged aluminum wheels are 19-inchers all around, each set supporting right around 50 percent of the sedan's weight, and the aluminum hood and trunk are meant to keep the center of gravity low.

GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism

Mon, 07 Jan 2013

Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.

Weekly Recap: GM plans massive new paint shop at Chevy Corvette factory

Sat, May 23 2015

General Motors is laying out some serious green to maintain the Chevy Corvette's expansive color palette. The automaker is breaking ground on a new paint shop this summer that's part of a $439-million investment to upgrade the 34-year-old Bowling Green, KY, factory that builds the Stingray. The massive new structure will total 450,000 square feet, nearly half the size of the current 1-million square-foot facility. Construction is expected to take two years and won't impact Corvette production. The upgrades include new robots that save paint and create a better finish, longer, more efficient ovens to bake in the finish, and LED lighting. There's also a dry scrubbing booth technology with a limestone handling system that eliminates waste. GM has invested $135 million in the factory in last four years for the changeover to build the C7 and to relocate its Performance Build Center to Bowling Green. The improvements continue to modernize the Kentucky factory, which has become a tourist attraction in its own right, as more than 56,000 enthusiasts visited it last year. The upgrades are part of a $5.4-billion investment GM confirmed in April that will remake its US footprint in the next three years. The Bowling Green expansion underscores GM's continued commitment to the Corvette, which sold nearly 38,000 copies around the world last year, an eight-year high. "With this major technology investment, we can continue to exceed the expectations of sports car buyers for years to come," North American manufacturing manager Arvin Jones said in a statement. OTHER NEWS & NOTES Takata recall hits 34 million vehicles The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration expanded the Takata airbag recall to an almost unthinkable 34 million vehicles on Tuesday. The recall is part of an agreement reached by the two sides where Takata admitted some of its airbag inflators have a defect, and the deal compels the company to comply with all future regulatory actions and investigations. Takata's airbag inflators were produced with "a propellant that can degrade over time" and lead to ruptures, NHTSA said. Six deaths have been attributed to the flaw worldwide. Investigations conducted by Takata, automakers, and others have not determined the exact cause of the inflator problem, but NHTSA said moisture appears to alter the propellant's chemical structure. It then ignites too rapidly, creates too much pressure that ruptures the inflator, and blasts shards of metal at passengers.
