1961 Corvair 4 Door Ht. Monza 900 Cali Car 4 Speed Clean Rare Package on 2040-cars
Cleveland, Ohio, United States
SELLING A 1961 CHEVROLET CORVAIR MONZA 900. VIN # 109690124089. CAR WAS ORIGINALLY MADE IN CALIFORNIA AND STAYED THERE UNTIL 1982. IN 1982 THE CAR WAS TRANSPORTED TO OHIO WHERE IT WAS DRIVEN FOR 3 YEARS AND THEN TAKEN APART, FOR RESTORATION. ALWAYS GARAGE KEPT AND REGULARLY MAINTAINED. CAR HAS NOT BEEN ON THE ROAD EVERYDAY SINCE 1984, BUT I DO DRIVE IT AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND TO NEAR BY CLOSE STORES. THE COLOR IS NOT ORIGINAL, BUT IS A REAL HEAD TURNER, EVERYONE LOVES THE SHADE AND THERE'S NEVER A LACK OF LADIES COMMENTING HOW PRETTY IT IS. THE ENGINE IS ORIGINAL, NUMBER ARE CLEAR AND EASY TO FIND, ENGINE # T02I3YN. THE 4 SPEED TRANS I HAVE NO REASON TO BELIEVE TO NOT BE ORIGINAL. THOUGH I NEVER LOOKED FOR THE NUMBERS. THE CAR DOES RUNS AND MOVE UNDER ITS OWN POWER, GOES INTO ALL GEARS, BUT IS COLD BLOODED WITH COOL OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES, NO SMOKING OR KNOCKING/TICKING NOISES. THE CHOKE CABLES ARE FROZEN AND I KEEP THE CAR IN MY HEATED GARAGE, NEVER MOVE IT UNLESS ITS 70 DEGREES OUT ANY HOW. MILEAGE IS UNKNOWN WAS TOLD 55,000 ODOMETER SAYS 15,000 BRAKES FEEL AS THOUGH THEY COULD USE ADJUSTMENT. LIKE I SAID THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN REGULARLY IN 10+ YEARS. THIS CAR HAS TONS OF NEW PARTS, A REMAN GENERATOR, BATTERY, PLUGS, WIRES, THINGS OF THAT NATURE, IS A PERFECT TINKER TOY. THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR IS VERY ORIGINAL, ALL EXCEPT THE FLOOR CARPET, THAT WAS RECENTLY REPLACED WITH A FACTORY FIT PACKAGE. MY PERSONAL FEELINGS ARE THAT HAD I GOT THE SEATS RECOVERED IT WOULD KILL THE ORIGINAL FEEL THE CAR HAS. SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO GOT THAT ROUTE CLARKE'S CORVAIR HAS SEAT COVERS FOR $500, I SIMPLY DIDN'T WANT THEM. IT IS A FACTORY MONZA 900 CAR MEANING IT DOES HAVE THE 4 SPEED TRANS, TINTED GLASS AND AN UPGRADED INTERIOR. THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT IS VERY CLEAN. OVERALL I FEEL THE PICTURES WILL DO THE TALKING FOR ME, IT DOES NEED SOME MINOR WORK BUT IS A GREAT CAR.I KNOW I WILL NEVER HAVE ONE THIS CLEAN AGAIN, THEY ARE GETTING HARD TO FIND AND I WONT GIVE THIS ONE AWAY. I HAVE COMPLETE PICTURES OF THE CAR THROUGHOUT THE RESTORATION PROCESS AND YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THE BODY CONDITION BEFORE AND AFTER. FOR SALE LOCALLY, RESERVING THE RIGHT TO END AUCTION EARLY.
"This Corvair is unusual in that it has bucket seats with cloth inserts on the seating surfaces. This option was only available in 1961 Monza 4-door sedans for about the first half of the model year before discontinued by GM. Not only this, but very few remain because the cloth usually wore out and was replaced with vinyl seat covers"---written by a Corvair fanatic--- $500 DEPOSIT DUE AT AUCTION CLOSE, REMAINING BALANCE TO BE PAID IN CASH UPON PICK UP. AFTER AUCTION CLOSE AND DEPOSIT HAS BEEN MADE, BUYER WILL HAVE 2 WEEKS TO PICKUP THE CAR UNLESS OTHERWISE ARRANGED. |

GM looks to combat high theft rates on SUVs with added tech
Tue, 24 Dec 2013The Cadillac Escalade has been at or near the top of most-stolen and insurance-loss lists for more than seven years, until it dropped to number six earlier this year. In 2011 it was fitted with a host of new security features to address its easy-to-override features and that has brought the number of thefts down, but when eight of the ten most stolen rides are large SUVs from General Motors, no one will argue that something else needs to be done.
Thus, GM has fitted this same theft-deterring tech to the 2015 Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon. The Suburban and Tahoe will get the steering lock that the Escalade and Yukon already get, plus bolted-down third-row seats to deter thefts like this, stronger door lock cylinders and shields, and side-cut keys to inhibit picking.
Additional security measures in a Theft Protection Package can be purchased for $395, consisting of sensors on the greenhouse glass and interior, an incline/tilt sensor and added "key control systems" to make it more difficult for the men in black balaclavas to steal what you bought.
Sinkhole Opens Up In National Corvette Museum, Swallows Eight Cars
Wed, Feb 12 2014More cars are being moved inside the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Ky. to avoid falling down the same sinkhole that swallowed eight classic sports cars early this morning, Autoblog reported. Museum officials said the hole was discovered when motion sensors activated around 5:45 a.m. The rescue mission can be viewed on the museum's live feed cameras, which weren't working after the sinkhole emerged. A 1993 ZR-1 Spyder and a 2009 ZR1 "Blue Devil," both on loan from General Motors, were among the cars that fell into the sinkhole. The museum owned the other affected Corvettes, which included a 1963 Corvette, a 1984 PPG Pace Car and the 1 millionth Corvette ever produced. The state of the cars at the bottom of the hole isn't known, but trial lawyer and sinkhole expert Ted Corless said the cars may be a total loss for the museum and GM. "Most states, including Kentucky, exclude damage caused by sinkhole activity," he said. "There will be, in all likelihood, a claim made, but a lot of policies would specifically exclude these kinds of damages." Corless has 15 years experience dealing with sinkholes. He said that typically neither the building, nor the cars themselves are protected under their insurance policies. "I would have to say, more likely then not, they're going to have an uninsured loss measured in the hundreds of thousands of dollars." The museum is closed Wednesday while a structural engineer assesses the damage.

Joe Flacco wins C7 Corvette along with MVP honors
Mon, 04 Feb 2013As part of a longstanding tradition, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was given a new car directly after the game and trophy celebrations. For 2013, that car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and it was presented to Flacco by Rick Flick of Banner Chevrolet, a dealership in New Orleans that was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before returning to prominence as the only Chevy dealer in Orleans Parish.
Last year, Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning took home a 2012 Corvette GS Centennial Edition. Manning also won in 2008, when he selected a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid as his reward. In 2011, quarterback Aaron Rodgers accepted the keys to a Camaro convertible.
Though we're most definitely an auto-obsessed group, we did watch the Big Game along with nearly everyone else in America. And we've gotta say, as if winning the Super Bowl and receiving the Tiffany-designed Pete Rozelle Trophy wasn't enough for the multi-millionaire MVP athletes, a brand-new C7 seems like an awfully generous prize.
