Low Miles 1967 Chevrolet Corvair 4-spd Coupe on 2040-cars
Santa Rosa, California, United States
|
While there is always a 1965-66 model Corvair for sale, finding the later years from 1967-69 is difficult. That is because starting in 67, Chevrolet had decided to end production. The 67 model had only 10,000 made, by 69, only 500 or so were made. My 67 is a solid daily driver near show quality in most aspects. No rust issues. Solid. The odometer reads 55,000. I believe it because of how it drives. The engine is strong, no oil leaks. The tranny shifts very smooth. I bought it three years ago from a person in Colorado, who got it from his elderly friend who could no longer drive and parked it. Some work has been done on it because it does have electronic ignition, Petronix. I installed new O-rings and the oil leak ended. I replaced the shocks, but not bushings. The tires have plenty of tread and the brakes were redone. A new muffler was installed, took off the carbs and cleaned them and replaced worn parts. The radio works, but the heater is not hooked up. Lights and blinkers work, as do the wipers. Fuel gauge works, windows roll up and down, plugs and oil changed. A new starter was also installed. That said, I drive the car less than 600 miles a year but drive it a few times a week for a few miles. I will include all of the official Chevy shop manuals and some other Corvair books. The manuals are needed for DIY repairs.
The only thing you need to do is to replace the foam and vinyl on the two bucket seats, a minimum. Total cost was estimated at $600, if you did yourself (not hard at all once you buy the kit from Clark's Corvair online). The rear seat is still intact but fragile. The car was painted three years ago and still in good shape. The seats are functional now with seat covers. Buyers are responsible for shipping, which will be between $600-1200 on average, depending where you live. If you decide to buy and we agree on the sell, money can be transferred directly from your bank to mine or a Cashiers check, no money order. While I believe the car is original miles, it is hard to tell. All I can say is that if it turned over, the engine and tranny must have been rebuilt because there are no compression issues at all, it runs like a new car. Some of the bushings could be replaced fro a softer ride. If interested, I can send you audio files or short videos also. This is a coupe, 4-spd. I have owned automatic Corvairs and can tell you that manual tranny is the only way to go because of carburetor synchronization issues at idle. I was so glad to find a manual tranny and have had no problems with this car. You can ask questions directly: email- perrya@jps.net. |

Body shop manager stole over $500,000 worth of government trucks and parts
Fri, Jan 27 2017The US Department of Justice announced yesterday that the manager of a collision and restoration business in Virginia admitted he helped misappropriate and sell vehicles and parts from the State Department. Specifically, he sold 12 Chevrolet Suburbans, a Hummer, and $7,500 worth of tires and wheels. He pled guilty to charges to commit theft of government property and wire fraud. He will likely see 18 to 20 months in prison, a fine of $4,000 to $40,000, and has already agreed to pay restitution of $416,020 and asset forfeiture of the same amount. According to the Department of Justice, the body shop manager, James Ratcliffe, worked with the owner of the business and a State Department official, both unnamed, to obtain the property. It started with the wheels and tires, which were delivered and sold on two occasions, one in 2011 and another in 2012. The trucks came later, and were sold throughout 2011 and 2013. Ratcliffe and the shop owner kept most of the profits, and shared some of the leftovers with the government official. In addition to the vehicles that were sold, the government official also gave Ratcliffe a pair of Suburbans for his own personal use. The Department of Justice estimated the total value of the SUVs at $96,400. In total, the group misappropriated $512,420 worth of property. Related Video:
Nissan Leaf sets another monthly sales record, Chevy Volt remains steady
Mon, Nov 3 2014Here we go again. Another month in the books and another month of record sales by the Nissan Leaf in the US. For October, the world's best-selling pure EV sold 2,589 units, which is 29.3 percent more than October 2013. That makes it 20 times in a row that Nissan can say that last month sales were better than the same month a year before. All told, Nissan has sold 24,411 Leafs in the US this year, a new record, reflecting an overall Leaf sales rate that is up 35 percent, year-to-date. Nissan isn't stopping, either. A new TV ad, one that, "encourages consumers to kick gas" by saving money on fuel will start airing today in major markets, according to Toby Perry, director of Nissan's EV marketing. You can watch it below. As for the Chevy Volt, things remained steady last month in the face of a new model that's coming in the second half of 2015. Chevy sold 1,439 Volts last month, which is about the same as September (1,394) but down 28.8 percent from the October 2013 despite GM having its best overall US October sales this year since 2007. So far, 2014 Volt year-to-date sales are down 14.9 percent through the end of October compared to 2013. And that wraps up the flash report on monthly sales for these two long-standing plug-in vehicles in the US market. As always, we'll have our in-depth write-up of US green car sales available soon. For now, we await your comments, below. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
2013 Chevy COPO Camaro announced with two new engines and manual option
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Chevrolet is following up the 2012 COPO Camaro with another limited run of the drag-strip-ready production car for 2013. Ditching the superchargers, the 2013 COPO Camaro can only be equipped with one of three naturally aspirated V8 engines, and other new features include the option of a manual transmission, new front springs, some minor styling changes and a lower starting price of $86,000. All cars are designed to abide by the rules of the NHRA's Stock Eliminator or Super Stock classifications, depending on in which series buyers wish to enter their Chevrolet Camaro.
Returning for 2013 is the 427-cubic-inch V8 producing 425 horsepower, but the new engines include a 325-hp 350-CID V8 and a 375-hp 396-CID V8. Buyers can select to purchase all three engines, and each will be matched with the sequence number of that car; the track-only COPO cars will not have vehicle identification numbers and can't be registered for street use.
Chevrolet is also offering unique enthusiast-specific options such as a COPO Build Book and the opportunity for owners to help assemble their car's engine at the Chevrolet Performance Build Center in Wixom, MI.
