Arlington Heights, Illinois, United States
Vehicle Title:Clear
Make: Chevrolet
Drive Type: reversed transaxle
Model: Corvair
Mileage: 99,999
Trim: none
67 CORVAIR with an SBC 327 installed in the rear-seat area via a KELMARK bellhousing. This vehicle was running (under V8 power) until we decided to rebuild the engine. We lost our workspace and are tired of paying to store it. Our original plan was to get everything worked out and running then transfer the drivetrain to a perfect-body late model Corvair.
This is an almost-complete project for a street racer. Rebuilt 327 (about 5 years ago has never been fired. 4 speed, Saginaw. Exhaust is complete. Body is in need of minor repair and paint. See the pictures. The trunk and hood lids are excellent, the rear quarters and doors very good. Rear grill is missing. Needs body work for lower pass front fender (pic), both lower Qs (pic) and front of pass fender (pic). All glass is good, no cracks or chips. Front and rear bumpers are good. Stainless trim is good. Wheels and tires are good. U-joints are new. No battery. A new aluminum radiator is supplied but not installed. The radiator was mounted in the original engine compartment and fan-driven. We did not want to cut-up the front end. The cooling was adequate and the car did not overheat. Fans are not included. Original pressure place and clutch cover were re-surfaced and a new friction disk installed. New internally regulated alternator and distributor are included but not installed. There is no interior or dash. A section of the dash was cut out. It was transferred to another Corvair that had a rusted-out vent area. The reverse would be necessary to restore this one. The fix was seamless on the recipient car: no reason to expect differently on this one. Simple body work, same as for other areas that need attention. Shift linkage needs to be built. The engine and transaxle mounts are all done and very cleanly installed. There are no unfinished or sharp sheet metal edges as found in many of these conversions. See the pics. Title is clear. There is no lock cylinder for the trunk or ignition key. Door panels, vent panels, visors, dash pad and instrument panel are in the trunk, in good condition. This project must be flatbed-trailered from Arlington Heights, Il, about 40 miles NW of Chicago. This is a PROJECT. It will require an above-average knowledge of mechanical things to complete. If you are not up to the task, please do not bid. If you don't have your wife's approval, please do not bid. If you don't have the money, do not bid. This is your chance to finish a Corvair V8 at a VERY LOW PRICE. |

Chevy to show redesigned Captiva in Geneva, will it come to US rental lots?
Wed, 27 Feb 2013Unless you're renting a car or driving through Orlando, Florida (the rental car capital of the US), you'll probably never see a Chevrolet Captiva - the rebadged, fleet-only version of the old Saturn Vue - on our roads, but this crossover is popular in many other parts of the world. As such, Chevrolet announced that the Captiva will be getting an update for 2013, which will be unveiled next week at the Geneva Motor Show.
Coming off a pretty extensive refresh in 2011, the 2013 model year will bring even more changes to the Captiva like LED taillights, new 18-inch wheels and revised fascias with a new grille and fog lights up front and inset chrome exhaust outlets at the rear. New interior features include heated rear seats, dual-zone climate control as well as available options on some of the upper trim levels such as leather seating and keyless entry and start. We have yet to hear back from Chevrolet as to whether or not the updated Captiva will be making its way to a rental lot near you, as the model is only available in the US to fleet buyers.
Alongside the updated Captiva, Chevy is also showing off its new Trax in Europe, where the subcompact crossover will go on sale this spring. GM's press release for these two Geneva-bound models is posted below.
2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel destined for Chicago debut
Mon, 28 Jan 2013It's been a little over a year and a half since General Motors first confirmed plans to offer a diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze here in the United States, and we've now learned that the oil-burning compact will debut under the lights of the Chicago Auto Show in February. According to GM Authority, the Cruze Eco-D will be introduced as part of the entire 2014 model year Cruze range, set to go on sale in the second quarter of this year.
Earlier reports have indicated that the diesel Cruze will be able to achieve fuel economy numbers in the range of 50 miles per gallon. For comparison, the similarly sized Volkswagen Jetta TDI is rated at 30/42 mpg city/highway, but as we found out in our long-term test of the 2011 model, hitting 50 mpg was a piece of cake.
Official specifications will be released at the time of the 2014 Cruze's unveiling, though reports have stated that the sedan will be powered by a reworked version of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four found in the Holden Cruze CDX overseas. In that application, the four-pot oil-burner produces 160 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque - increases of 20 hp and 29 lb-ft over the 2.0-liter engine used in VW's Jetta TDI.
Veyron and C7 Corvette join cast of Transformers 4
Wed, 29 May 2013Like the Fast & Furious franchise, the Michael Bay-directed series of Transformers movies has become known as much for its bad acting as its impressive lineup of cars. As filming just started for Transformers 4, Bay's website has confirmed two new cars for the next installment as well as a makeover for everyone's favorite tractor trailer hero, Optimus Prime.
Joining the cast of T4 are a "race-inspired" Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. While Bay's website did not supply names for either car, Bugatti is reporting on its Facebook page that the Veyron will join the Autobots. Speaking of the good guys, top Autobot Optimus Prime is getting an all-new body based on a Western Star with a gaudy appearance that was seemingly inspired by Trick My Truck - right down to the six smoke stacks and side pipes!
