Up for bidding is this 1964 Corvair Monza with a 180 Turbo Corsa. I’ve personally owned this car for about 12 years now and I do hope whoever wins her, takes great care of her. This car has been in only 2 families in it's 50 year history.

Here is a list of work I’ve had done on the chassis

  • ·   Professionally installed crossed drilled rotors and calipers brakes. Yes it stops amazing!
  • ·      Recoated and sealed gas tank
  • ·      Boyd Coddington alloy rims
  • ·      Clarks Corvair interior including seats and carpet
  • ·      Triple plated chromed all the interior trim
  • ·      $8500 paint job 8 years ago. Yes there is some weathering on the paint but it has ALWAYS been garaged kept and wiped down every time it came out
  • ·      Rebuilt front end suspension
  • ·      No body rust
  • ·      Original CA black and yellow plates
  • ·      Re-located rear antenna

 

Now the engine and drivetrain has been completely rebuilt by the amazing Greg Peterson. Here is a list of some of the things done but let the pictures speak for itself

  • ·      180 1965 Corsa Engine REBUILT ground up!
  • ·      Fully rebuilt 180 turbo with 150 exhaust outlet to spool up the turbo faster
  • ·      New rods, pistons, and balanced crank
  • ·      Hardened push rods
  • ·      De-flashed the cylinder heads
  • ·      Roller rockers which go for $450 a set
  • ·      Powder coated all tins which are turbo only
  • ·      High-temp ceramic coated exhaust including all turbo parts
  • ·      Triple plated chrome on turbo linkage, including intake, and correct 64 heat shield
  • ·      New Harmonic balancer
  • ·      Chromed alternator replacing the factory generator 64 and prior
  • ·      Offenhauser oil pan and valve covers
  • ·      Rebuilt differential
  • ·      Rebuilt 4 speed trans
  • ·      All new bushing in the A-arms and leaf spring suspension
  • ·      Powder coated complete rear suspension, including A-arms, and leaf spring

 

That pretty much sums up most of the major things done to it. Don’t forget it’s old. You will have to service it and maintain it, but this IS built to handle, perform, and last. You will not be disappointed on this vehicle. This is the last year of this body which had all the trim and upgrades to the engine and handling!

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Volt class action suit proposed, Tesla stock could outperform in 2015

Sat, Dec 27 2014

A class action suit has been proposed against General Motors for a steering problem in the Chevrolet Volt. The plaintiffs claim that a defect can cause the steering to freeze intermittently, and that General Motors either knows or should have known about the problem. The case, filed in New Jersey, also claims that defective parts are replaced with the same or similar parts, which are also defective. The plaintiffs say that claims for the 100-plus-member class exceed $5 million. Read more at Law360 or at BigClassAction. Tesla Motors stock (TSLA) has risen after weeks of losses. It gained 5.4 percent during the week ending December 19, when it closed at $219.29 per share. Since then, it rose slightly more, closing at $222.26 on December 24. Morgan Stanley lowered its target price on Tesla stock from $320 to $290, predicting lower sales on the upcoming Model III than expected before, but still called Tesla a good long-term investment. Analysts at CNBC predicted Tesla to be the best performing stock of 2015. Read more at ETF Daily News. Oslo- and New York-based architecture firm Snohetta has designed a zero-emissions house that also charges an electric car. The ZEB Pilot House, built in Larvik, Norway, uses a solar panel on the roof to power the house, which also provides enough excess energy to charge an EV. To make the most of energy most efficiently, the house uses smart technology to use as much energy as it can once it's harvested. This means one can turn on appliances like the washing machine remotely while the sun is at the optimum angle in the sky - perhaps during mid-day when the residents are at work. The house also uses organic materials and is designed to save as much energy as possible. Read more at Wired.

Opel CEO talks new EV, will likely be fresh face for Chevy, too

Wed, Jul 23 2014

The rumored demise of the Opel Ampera has been confirmed, but there's good news, too. Opel CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann has been busy Tweeting information about the brand's next plug-in vehicle, admitting that the Ampera is on the way out but that plug-in vehicles are here to stay. His Tweets, in full, read: After the eventual run-out of the current generation Ampera, we'll introduce a successor product in the electric vehicle segment. Our next electric vehicle will be part of our massive product offensive – with 27 new vehicles in the 2014-2018 time frame. We see eMobility as important part of the mobility of tomorrow and we will continue to drive down costs & deliver affordability. As we learned earlier this week, the Ampera will not be refreshed when the current Chevy Volt is updated, most likely because of slow sales. Opel sold just 332 Amperas in the first five months of 2014. For now, General Motors is still building Amperas in Michigan for export to Europe. So, what might this new EV mean for the General Motors plug-in fleet? Official spokespeople are being quiet, but we think it's safe to say the new EV Neumann is talking about is not simply a rebadged Chevy Spark EV. This is the first official word about an entirely new EV, and we expect it will come to both the Chevrolet and Opel brands.

Recharge Wrap-up: EV torque secrets, UC Davis maps future of biofuels

Fri, Jul 25 2014

A UC Davis white paper maps out "Three Routes Forward for Biofuels," balancing investment risk with carbon benefits. The first option is "incremental," in which we tinker with the existing biofuel manufacturing infrastructure for small improvements over time. The "transitional" plan suggests integrating cellulosic production and other innovations with existing operations. The third route, called "leapfrogging," would mean building refineries based on new technology such as cellulosic and algae-based biofuels. The paper suggests ways the US could use these three routes together in different areas, and predicts the payoffs in terms of carbon emissions could be significant if the right people are willing to risk the capital. After all, financial advisers are always telling investors to diversify their portfolios to manage risk and rewards in the same way. Read more over at the UC Davis Institute of Transportation Studies. The Formula E Long Beach ePrix will offer free admission. The seventh round of the inaugural all-electric race season, which was moved from Los Angeles to the streets of Long Beach, will offer fans free grandstand and general admission. The race, which takes place on April 5, 2015, will use a 1.6-mile portion of IndyCar's Grand Prix of Long Beach. Read more at LA Times. Polaris is now offering its 2015 GEM electric vehicles, including the new street-legal eM1400 LSV. The passenger and utility vehicles come in two- to six-passenger configurations, many of which are street legal on roads with posted speed limits of up to 35 miles per hour. The eM1400 LSV utility vehicle seats two, offers 1,250 pounds of payload, 1,250 pounds of towing capacity, a top speed of 25 mph and a range of up to 45 miles. Its on-board charger plugs into any standard 110-volt outlet. Read more at Hybrid Cars and check out all the different configurations yourself at the Polaris website. In EVs, more torque does not always equal faster. Green Car Reports found this out when driving the Fiat 500e (with 147 pound-feet) against the similarly weighted Chevrolet Spark EV (with 400 pound-feet). The secret is, at least in part, in the gearing. The Fiat has a 9.6:1 reduction gear, making it quicker at lower speeds despite having far less available torque, while the Chevy uses a 3:1 ratio. The trade-off though, is in top speed. Furthermore, Chevy electronically limits the torque delivery at low speeds, as 400 pound-feet is a lot of launch for the little Spark EV to handle.
