1962 Chevrolete Corvair


Up for auction is my 1962 Chevy Corvair, California car all its life! According to it's vin it was manufactured in Oakland and it has been here since then.

I've been working on it on and off and have it running and idling smooth and quiet. It's all original and unmolested! All lights, inside and out work! Including the lights in the gauge cluster and working factory radio!

The car has all windows in good condition, with all windows opening and closing as they should. All chrome is there except for a small 1/2-Beauty trim that goes around the gas lid.

The car is at least 95% complete and functioning. It starts up right away and idles smooth and quiet, it's a great local cruiser.

The following is a list of items that have been replaced or fixed within the last 100 miles:

  • New Falken Tires 
  • New KYB Shocks / Gas-A-Just - All four corners 
  • New Brakes - All four corners
  • New Starter
  • New rebuilt generator
  • Rebuilt / Refurbished Voltage Regulator
  • New Fan belt
  • New battery
  • New Spark Plug Wires
  • New Tune-Up kit
  • New Oil Pan Gasket
  • New Transmission Gaskets
  • New Valve Cover Gaskets
  • Repacked wheel bearings
  • Resurfaced brake drums
  • Recently adjusted points and carburetors
  • New Rear Housing Gasket & Seal (needs to be installed)
  • New Differential Rebuild Gasket (needs to be installed)
  • New Viton Push Rod Tube O-Ring (needs to be installed)

As you can see from the pictures, it does need a fresh paint job to make it shine as it did back in '62. It only has surface rust from being sun beaten. To my knowledge all floorboards and body panels are in good condition. The upholstery although complete also needs to be freshened-up. 

The only thing that needs to be addressed is the famous Corvair Oil-Leak. The car does leak oil, just like any other Corvair. However I do have three new sets of gaskets/seals and O-Rings that are being included with the car.... that way the new owner does not have to hunt down these parts. Once these seals are replaced I am confident the car will be leak free.

I also have the car for sale locally so I reserve the right to end this auction early. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions BEFORE you bid.

I will ship globally. I can help refer you to shipping companies that can deliver this car to any place in the world. All shipping fees are buyer's responsibility

This car is being sold AS-IS, with NO promises, guarantees or warranties made or implied.

Thanks for looking and happy bidding!

GM dealers unhappy about pickup prices

Mon, 21 Oct 2013

The backlash is beginning. Following General Motors' price hike of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra last week, dealers across the country are expressing their ire over increasing prices in the face of rebates and discounts on trucks from Ford and Ram.
Speaking to Automotive News, Sam Pilato, the general manager at Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater, FL, Silverados are "selling very poorly." W. Carrol Smith, the president of Monument Chevrolet in the heart of truck country, Texas, said, "[GM's] position is that the vehicle stands on its own and it doesn't need a bigger rebate. That's not what the market is telling us."
According to AN, that's the general attitude amongst Chevy and GMC dealers across the country, where the twin pickups are getting butchered in sales by competitors offering up to $9,000 off their sticker prices. Part of the problem for GM is that its trucks are arriving on the market near the end of the current F-150's lifecycle, a fact that Ford has taken advantage of.

GM recalling 15k midsize pickups over leaky brakes

Mon, Jun 8 2015

General Motors has announced a recall in coordination with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration related to the brakes on the 2015 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. In the 14,838 units in the United States estimated to be affected, the front brake calipers may be leaking fluid. Needless to say, that could make them less effective, which could hinder the vehicle's ability to stop in time to avoid a collision. The affected units were all manufactured between January 6 and December 24, 2014. The fix seems simple and straightforward enough, with dealers being instructed to inspect the front brake calipers, and replace them if necessary. See below for all the details from NHTSA. RECALL Subject : Brake Fluid Leak Report Receipt Date: MAY 12, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V278000 Component(s): SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC Potential Number of Units Affected: 14,838 Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Chevrolet Colorado, and GMC Canyon trucks manufactured January 6, 2014, to December 24, 2014. The affected vehicles may experience the front brake calipers leaking brake fluid. This is due to air pockets, an imperfection in the metal caliper body. CONSEQUENCE: If the vehicle experiences a brake fluid leak it can increase the stopping distance, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the front-brake calipers if necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin July 10, 2015. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 14888. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

2020 Chevy Trax and Buick Encore spied testing

Tue, Aug 14 2018

We just recently saw a little crossover SUV from General Motors being tested, and we weren't positive what brand it belonged to. We narrowed it down to Chevy or GMC, but we're feeling more confident that it's a GMC now, since both the next generation Chevy Trax and Buick Encore subcompact crossover SUVs have been spied testing together. Of the two, the Chevy has the more radically different sheet metal. It ditches the somewhat frumpy, lumpy shape of the current Trax for a body inspired by the bigger Chevy Blazer. The roofline has sharp corners, and the hood is wide and flat. The front fascia, though obscured, shows the most connection to the bigger crossover. It has the same split headlight configuration, and it looks as though the grille takes up a sizable section of the fascia. View 7 Photos The Buick Encore on the other hand looks evolutionary in design. The body still has plenty of curves, and the distinctive, sharply rising window sill are all hallmarks of the current Encore design. The headlights and grille are similar, too, though the grille appears to be slightly updated to fit in with the Enclave and Regal. It's understandable that Buick might want to play it safe with the new Encore, since the model is Buick's best seller, selling about 23,000 units in the last quarter, nearly twice that of the next best performer, the Enclave. Since this is the first time we've seen these little crossovers, we expect it will still be a year or two before we get to see them fully revealed. They will probably continue to use small-displacement turbocharged four-cylinder engines with either front- or all-wheel drive. Related Video:
