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!

Before Chevrolet's Redline, there was the Saturn Red Line

Thu, Feb 9 2017

While Chevy rolls out Redline special editions across more of the lineup at this year's Chicago Auto Show, we've been eating some 'member berries and started thinking about the last time GM used the term. Back in 2004, Saturn rolled out Red Line (two words) editions of the Ion and Vue. The lineup was joined by the Sky Red Line in 2007, and the second-generation Vue kept the tradition going in 2008. This was in the heady days of the mid-2000s, before the financial crisis and GM's bankruptcy reorganization that saw the end of Saturn. The press release headline for the 2008 Sky is now cringe-worthy: "Hot-selling Sky helps drive Saturn product renaissance." Performance lineups were the hot new thing, as automakers attempted to cash in on the tuner trend popularized by The Fast and the Furious. Chevy had SS models, Pontiac had GXP, and Saturn had Red Line. Across the Detroit Metro area, Dodge had a slew of SRT models, and Ford's Special Vehicle Team brought us the SVT Lightning pickup, the SVT Focus, and a smattering of hopped-up Mustangs. The performance cred of Red Line models varied from car to car. The Ion Red Line shared the same engine as the original Chevy Cobalt SS, a 205-horsepower supercharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, 65 hp more than stock. Car and Driver tested one with a 0-to-60-mph time of 6.1 seconds and said the Ion "tears down the wall that has separated enthusiasts from the Saturn brand for so long." The Vue Red Line, meanwhile, came with the same optional Honda-sourced 3.5-liter V6 you could get in the regular Vue, and added a stiffer, lower suspension, bigger wheels with more aggressive rubber, and recalibrated steering assist. When the Vue was redesigned for the 2008 model year, the Vue Red Line was a similar proposition. The engine was now from GM, and up 7 horsepower to 257, but you could get it in both Red Line and XE trim. Aside from the tire and suspension upgrades, Red Line models now came with a unique front fascia and rear exhaust cutouts. The most exciting Red Line, of course, was the high-performance version of the Sky roadster, which shared underpinnings with its Pontiac Solstice twin. This model came with GM's hot 2.0-liter Ecotec Turbo, good for 260 horsepower. The extra power was crucial in covering up the Sky's unfortunate manual gearbox ratios, which left the non-turbo model aching for torque in lower gears. As we all know, Saturn was taken by the grim reaper in 2009 after an attempt to sell the brand to the Penske Group.

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee teases return with a Countach

Fri, May 29 2015

Unless you have an intense aversion to Jerry Seinfeld, it's hard not to find something to like about his show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. After all, the series combines funny people telling often hilarious stories while riding in ridiculously cool vehicles. The trailer for the sixth season is now online, and based on this tease, this definitely looks worth watching no matter what part of the videos interest you. Of course, it's the automotive portion that really grabs us, and Seinfeld has quite a fleet to showcase for season six. The trailer shows off a Lamborghini Countach, a '57 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible, a classic Volkswagen Beetle in the green and white German Polizei livery, a Morgan, an Aston Martin DB5, and a Ferrari 308. On the more humorous side of things, the guest list at least includes Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jim Carrey, Steve Harvey, Stephen Colbert, Bill Maher and upcoming host of The Daily Show Trevor Noah. Season six of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee premieres on Crackle on Wednesday, June 3, at 11:30 PM ET.

800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
