1960 Chevrolet Corvair 500 Sedan on 2040-cars
US $3,200.00
Year:1960
Mileage:999999

For Sale: 1960 Corvair 500 Sedan. 80 hp flat 6 air cooled engine with 3 speed manual trans. Included with the car is all of the stainless trim from a 700 sedan along with a container of new parts to include complete engine reseal gaskets, new lenses for the front turn signals and NOS parts for the rears and some interior parts etc... The front floors have rust but I undercoated them to seal the cabin and installed a new carpet from Clarks Corvair Parts (my new parts source). The carpet install needs to be completed (sill panels) and the new kick panels installed. I changed out the steering wheel for a period correct 60's hot rod wheel and had new door panels made in metallic vinyl by J&T 'Vairs in Des Moines Iowa. The front seat bottom was stripped and poly foam installed. Not "correct" but comfortable. (check out the seat covers and hula girl) I was going for a 70's era surf car theme. Car runs and drives great but I would suggest resealing the pushrod tubes etc to correct an oil leak and going through the wheel cylinders to get the brakes working better. I ran the gas out of the car so the ethanol wouldn't phase separate and cause corrosion in the fuel system. When we got the car it was set up with tow bar mounts and a new towbar is included for transport. The car has been garaged since I've had it and is currently in my shop in Burton for inspection. The paint was redone some years ago and has a few primer spots but overall the car is in superb shape for its age (albeit the front floors as mentioned)
The car includes NOS front mats I bought for $150.00 (usually over $300.00) and is equipped with the optional gas heater which also comes with a new exhaust pipe. The trunk area is virtually perfect for a 54 year old car and has the proper stock rubber trunk floor covering (very rare to find in this condition) I also am including some NOS Chinook helicopter seatbelts with the car (old school style racing belts) There are more new/used parts included but without doing an inventory this will have to do for now. I do have a new/used speedometer as well. The old one is working fine but has some surface rust on the scale area. The factory AM radio works fine but could use a new speaker. The grill bar on the front is an NOS replacement. The original is included in the parts stash.... Under the dash is a switch box to put the car in being towed mode and there is a jack in the trunk area and a cable to hook to the tow vehicle included. Spare tire, Lugwrench and Jack in excellent condtion as well. I have 2 other Corvairs and this one is just sitting so I'm putting it up for sale to fix up the others. There is a myriad of forums and information available online. (Clear title in my name for immediate transfer. Car is currently insured/tagged and includes a new towbar to move it. Will need gas and maintenance as stated above to be road ready. I would not rate this as a "project" btw, far too nice for a 54 year old car!!!) If you want a cool collector car for a cheap price or have an old school teenager at home this is the perfect driver quality vintage car!!! the roofline is very low with regard to other cars. This is one cool old school sled!!! I do not recall the mileage as the car is in storage at my shop but believe it to be under 100k. Car is all original except for the items I added (door panels/steering wheel etc) Email for bigger pics or text to 843 two five two 6005. My name is Mike |

Veyron and C7 Corvette join cast of Transformers 4
Wed, 29 May 2013Like the Fast & Furious franchise, the Michael Bay-directed series of Transformers movies has become known as much for its bad acting as its impressive lineup of cars. As filming just started for Transformers 4, Bay's website has confirmed two new cars for the next installment as well as a makeover for everyone's favorite tractor trailer hero, Optimus Prime.
Joining the cast of T4 are a "race-inspired" Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. While Bay's website did not supply names for either car, Bugatti is reporting on its Facebook page that the Veyron will join the Autobots. Speaking of the good guys, top Autobot Optimus Prime is getting an all-new body based on a Western Star with a gaudy appearance that was seemingly inspired by Trick My Truck - right down to the six smoke stacks and side pipes!
Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.
Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme
Mon, 17 Dec 2012They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.
