 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 CAR WAS ORIGINALLY MADE IN CALIFORNIA AND STAYED THERE UNTIL 1982.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---

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.

GM recalling 15k midsize pickups over leaky brakes

Mon, Jun 8 2015

General Motors has announced a recall in coordination with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration related to the brakes on the 2015 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. In the 14,838 units in the United States estimated to be affected, the front brake calipers may be leaking fluid. Needless to say, that could make them less effective, which could hinder the vehicle's ability to stop in time to avoid a collision. The affected units were all manufactured between January 6 and December 24, 2014. The fix seems simple and straightforward enough, with dealers being instructed to inspect the front brake calipers, and replace them if necessary. See below for all the details from NHTSA. RECALL Subject : Brake Fluid Leak Report Receipt Date: MAY 12, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V278000 Component(s): SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC Potential Number of Units Affected: 14,838 Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Chevrolet Colorado, and GMC Canyon trucks manufactured January 6, 2014, to December 24, 2014. The affected vehicles may experience the front brake calipers leaking brake fluid. This is due to air pockets, an imperfection in the metal caliper body. CONSEQUENCE: If the vehicle experiences a brake fluid leak it can increase the stopping distance, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the front-brake calipers if necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin July 10, 2015. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 14888. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
