Corsa Turbo Convertible on 2040-cars
Tampa, Florida, United States
|
Up for sale- my beautiful 66 Corvair Corsa Turbo convertible. This car is extremely rare. The 1966 Corsa Convertible Turbo is one of the most rare models of the Corvairs. In model year 1966, only 3,142 Corsa convertibles (technically Model #66-10767) were built. And only between 527 and 643 (the exact number is not known due to a fire at GM that destroyed the records) of those had the 180hp turbo engine.
If you know Corvairs, you know this is a rare and desirable model. If not, suffice it to say you don't find that sort of low production figure on any American cars. I have owned this car since 2008. Purchased in Ft Wayne Indiana. I have put probably less that 2000 miles on it during that time. Car is in very good condition. Seats re-done with Clarks interior kit in 2008, paint re-done in 2013. Very clean and very nice, but please remember it's a 50 year old car. Paint is very good with minor blemishes here and there. Turbo currently not working (don't have a good corvair mechanic here to run it down) but car runs and drives great. All mechanicals good. New 15 inch Chevrolet rally wheels and tires. Brakes re-done in 2014. I need to sell now due to health reasons- doctors have major projects planned for me coming up up in the next couple of months. I love this car but need to sell it now. Asking $11,500. Others of lesser quality have sold here for $15k. Yes, I have a little room to move, but if you think you'll be able to get it for 8 or 9k, you'll be disappointed, and I'd just tell you not to waste your breath or my time. I would consider interesting truck trades but prefer to sell outright. I expect you to look before buying. If you buy sight unseen, there will be a $2000 deposit that will not be refunded. As always, when buying a car, remember that money talks and BS walks! Thanks for looking! |

Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]
Tue, 19 Mar 2013This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...
Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.
GM trucks get hybrid versions, but you'll probably never see one
Thu, Feb 25 2016A few years ago, General Motors sold hybrid versions of its Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups. They weren't very good, using GM's old two-mode hybrid system that resulted in only negligible fuel economy gains. But GM's trying again, launching eAssist models of the 2016 Silverado and Sierra that are said to offer 2-mpg improvements in city, highway, and combined fuel economy ratings. Problem is, you probably won't be able to get one. Only 700 eAssist trucks will be made for the 2016 model year – 500 Silverados and 200 Sierras. When you consider that GM moved 824,683 examples of its light-duty pickups in 2015, this small run represents 0.08-percent of all Silverado/Sierra production, and GM says it "will monitor the market closely ... and adjust as appropriate moving forward." But that's not the only limitation. The eAssist trucks will only be sold through California dealers. For the Silverado, eAssist can only be optioned on the 1500 Crew Cab 1LT 2WD model, and for the Sierra, the fuel-saving technology is solely available on the 1500 SLT Crew Cab 2WD model with the SLT Premium Plus package. Granted, in terms of the Sierra, that means you get niceties like LED headlights and taillights, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bose premium audio, heated seats and steering wheel, lane keep assist, and more. In the trucks, eAssist combines a small electric motor and 0.45-kWh battery pack with the pickups' 5.3-liter V8. GM estimates total output of 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque – no more horsepower than the non-eAssist trucks, but three more pound-feet of torque. GM says the eAssist trucks can tow up to 9,400 pounds, and the battery only adds 100 pounds to the trucks' weight. The electric motor provides 13 hp and 44 lb-ft of torque for a boost of acceleration off the line, or during passing. It also allows the engine to run in four-cylinder mode for longer periods of time. eAssist uses regenerative braking to help power onboard electrical systems, and adds start/stop to the powertrain. Finally, the so-equipped trucks have a six-percent improvement in aerodynamics, thanks to a soft tonneau cover and active grille shutters in the front fascia. Great news is, the eAssist option is relatively inexpensive, only costing $500. But good luck getting your hands on one.
