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.

The firewall is drilled for a hydraulic clutch and there is a lever there to actuate but the actual MC and slave cylinder are gone.

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.

GM may kill 6 car models as it works with UAW to tackle sales slump

Fri, Jul 21 2017

The president of the United Auto Workers union said on Thursday the union is talking with General Motors about the potential threat to plants and jobs from slumping U.S. car sales. GM's response will be more trucks and SUVs, and sources say at least six slow-selling car models may be killed off. "We are talking to (GM) right now about the products that they currently have" at underused car plants such as Hamtramck in Michigan and Lordstown in Ohio, and whether they might be replaced with newer, more popular vehicles such as crossovers, Dennis Williams told reporters. "We are tracking it (and) we are addressing it," Williams added. GM has cut shifts at several U.S. plants this year as inventories of unsold cars have ballooned. Industry analysts said more jobs could be at risk as the automaker wrestles with permanently shrinking production of small and midsized sedans. GM is reviewing whether to cancel at least six passenger cars in the U.S. market after 2020, including the Chevrolet Volt hybrid, which could be replaced in 2022 with a new gasoline-electric crossover model, Reuters has learned from people familiar with the plans. Other GM cars at risk include the Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac CT6, Cadillac XTS, Chevrolet Impala and Chevrolet Sonic, sources said. Some analysts have singled out GM's Hamtramck plant in Detroit as one of the most vulnerable because of plummeting car sales. The plant, which opened in 1985, builds four slow-selling models: Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet Impala, Cadillac CT6 and Chevrolet Volt. In the first half, it built fewer than 35,000 cars, down 32 percent from the same period in 2016, according to suppliers familiar with GM's U.S. production schedule. The typical GM assembly plant builds 200,000-300,000 vehicles a year.COMING ATTRACTIONS: TRUCKS AND SUVS GM must "create some innovative new products" to replace slow-selling sedans "or start closing plants," said Sam Fiorani, vice president of AutoForecast Solutions. The auto maker already has begun to shift future production plans from cars to trucks, according to Morgan Stanley auto analyst John Murphy. He estimates that fewer than 10 percent of the new vehicle models that GM will introduce over the next four years will be passenger cars, with the rest divided among trucks, SUVs and crossovers. GM plans to add production of the new Cadillac XT4 crossover next year to its Malibu sedan plant in Fairfax, Kansas.

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial

Sat, 16 Mar 2013


The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.

GM diesel pickups first to undergo extra EPA, CARB testing

Tue, Sep 29 2015

The effects of Volkswagen's long-running diesel emissions evasion are starting to spill over to other automakers, but General Motors is taking things in stride. The 2.8-liter, four-cylinder Duramax in the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon is the first engine to get extra scrutiny by the Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board, Automotive News reports. Rather than just the usual in-lab test, it's also being checked on the road. However, the extra evaluation shouldn't have any impact on when the trucks with his mill hit dealers later this fall. "We're in our final stages of the EPA certification, and our launch is on track," Chevy spokesperson Otie McKinley tells Autoblog. The four-cylinder diesel in the trucks makes 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, and the automaker is touting low NOx production. In the announcement for the Colorado's specs, the company calls it "the cleanest diesel truck engine ever produced by General Motors." The tech includes exhaust gas recirculation to lower combustion temperatures and improve emissions. There's also a urea tank like on the bigger diesels for full-size trucks, and it gets refilled in time with oil changes. An indication on the instrument panel lets drivers know when that's needed, too. Even with the more demanding testing, the company doesn't seem too worried about the four-cylinder passing. "Part of our development process is on-road and off-road [laboratory] testing," Scott Yackley, Chevy Trucks assistant chief engineer, said to Automotive News. In the wake of the VW scandal, the EPA has pledged more rigorous testing. Before, on-road emissions evaluations were largely limited to heavy-duty vehicles, but the agency has decided to apply the checks more often to other models. There's also now greater cooperation with Canadian authorities.
