Rare 99% restored 1965 Corvair van.  Correct replacement 110 hp block. Original drivetrain.  Replacement Clark interior in original Gold color.  Exterior color was a unique factory order.  Sold originally in Colorado, second owner in Florida. Vehicle has detailed history which can be read by following this link: http://www.corvairkid.com/R1265S100880.htm  There remain a few items to complete a full restoration (see fotos).  Should have pulled down the interior insulation when the van was originally restored.  Panels should be removed and metal cleaned.  After market windshield rubber isn't completely sealing the windshield in upper righthand corner (passenger side) and should be replaced with OEM rubber.  Fuel gage sending unit is operation seems intermittently and should be checked.  Small crack below drivers mirror.  Mileage shows 19,559 but I would assume the odometer has turned over once.  Other than that, van is fully functional and drives beautifully.  Restoration costs are well over the reserve.  Your questions are most welcome.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Mon, 20 Jun 2011

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.

Motor Trend puts Chevy Camaro Z28 and Porsche 911 GT3 Head 2 Head

Mon, Dec 29 2014

Motor Trend admits, "This is an unfair comparison." But that doesn't make it any less fun to watch when they pit a Camaro Z/28 against the Porsche 911 GT3. The former has a 7.0-liter V8 with 505 horsepower and 481 pound-feet of torque shifted through a six-speed manual. The latter has a 3.8-liter flat-six with 475 hp and 324 lb-ft shifted through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Yet those are only the little disparities – the big disparities are mass and money: the Camaro weighs 3,882 pounds and costs $76,150 as-tested, the Porsche weighs 3,267 pounds and costs $145,785. But they're both about hardcore performance, so MT takes them out on the street, to the drag strip, to the parking lot for figure eights and a skidpad test, and finally to Big Willow for Randy Pobst to give his professional assessment. Remember when a lotta people spent a lotta time debating Pirates vs. Ninjas? This is like that, only it's the "haul-ass good-time car" vs. the "track surgeon." Enjoy the debate in the video.
