Lesson learned: don't buy a car on Ebay without looking at it. I did, now I'm selling the car. This 65 Corvair left the LA plant as a white 500 with a blue interior. Now it's an Avocado Green with Black interior Monza wannabe. That doesn't make it a bad car; it's just not what I wanted. This is a good, driver-quality car that needs some TLC. 17,700 undocumented miles on the odometer. I have over 4 grand invested so far. PA Antique title in hand.
The Good:
This car has a solid undercarriage, the engine runs well and the 4-speed trans and clutch are good. New brakes and wheel cylinders all around, new fuel tank sending unit, new turn signal switch. Really nice interior and a repro owner's manual and shop books. Starts almost every time (see The Bad), gets lots of looks, smiles and "thumbs up." There are spare parts and a Sparkomatic 8-track I'll throw in, too.
The Bad:
There's a slight oil leak from the transmission (see photo). It's nothing that can't be fixed for cheap. It's going to need 4 tires soon. There's no jack. The horn works, but the horn button assembly in the steering wheel is no good. The wipers work, but the washers don't. It may need a starter solenoid or ignition switch: every once in a while it won't turn over. Let it sit for a few hours and Hey Presto, you're motoring. There is some slight rust on the outer door skins. And I mean slight.
The Ugly:
The body looks like someone gave Stevie Wonder a bucket of Bondo and turned him loose, followed by a ten year-old with spray cans of green paint. No kidding. Look at the photos.
The car is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early. Car is currently in Newtown Square, Pa.
Ask questions! I will be completely honest in my answers! I can take pictures of any parts of the car and send them to you. Bid to BUY, not to look at it and change your mind!
$250 nonrefundable deposit due via Paypal within 48 hours of auction close. Balance due in certified bank funds within 7 days, car must be picked up within two weeks. Neither the car nor the title leave my possession until ALL funds have cleared my bank.

The Volt Dance had precedent; meet the Chevy Footlockers
Sun, Dec 14 2014Marketing in the auto industry can get weird sometimes – really quite bizarre, in fact. For example, remember the Chevy Volt dance from the 2009 Los Angles Auto Show? If not, a group boogied to a song about the electric car, and it was every bit as awkward (and hilarious) as that sounds. In fact, that innocent bit of promotion lives in infamy, as some pundits grabbed hold of it during General Motors' bailout and asked why America's tax dollars were going to such things. The Chicago Auto Show has been digging through its vault of vintage videos, and it has come up with something that might actually be worse than that Volt-themed routine. They're called the Chevy Footlockers, and they're a dance troupe somehow promoting the Cavalier at the 1988 Chicago show. The connection between the car and their routine is unclear, but it's gloriously cheesy in a Chippendales-meets-AC Slater sort of way. Also, there are props towards the end, but we aren't going to spoil them for you, because you just have to watch for yourself. As a bonus, there's another (brief) clip below showing a female dance group with the Geo Tracker at the '91 Chicago show, and they sing, too. Scroll down to watch both of these oddities.

MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS
Thu, Jan 29 2015Even with just four brands in the family, General Motors still represents a performance powerhouse. Between the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Camaro Z/28, Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, The General can still deliver plenty of thrills. The 1980s, though, saw the brand go even crazier with performance. While the Camaro and Corvette were still around back in the day, GM had a number of other interesting performance offerings. The Bowtie was complemented by the long-deceased Monte Carlo SS, while the now-defunct Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered the Grand Prix and thumping 442, respectively. And Buick, which isn't short on performance with its Regal GS and Verano Turbo, offered a much more serious vehicle, in the form of the Grand National (not to mention the Darth Vader-spec GNX). MotorWeek, in its hugely entertaining retro flashbacks, looks back on these three long-lost GM performance icons, and it's just as good as you might expect.

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible is the track car for sun worshippers
Fri, 11 Apr 2014
Supercharged, 6.2-liter V8? Check. Seven-speed manual? Check. Obsession with weight? Check.
What did you expect when Chevrolet said it was bringing a new Corvette variant to the 2014 New York Auto Show? Maybe a sticker and trim package, like the C6 Corvette Grand Sport or a tie-in deal like the Black Widow car from Chicago? On the opposite end, maybe there was an even more hardcore Z06 waiting in the wings. Who knew?
