Not only in its configuration and condition, but in its wonderful story and documentation over the years, it was truly a member of the family. The car is a two owner remaining in the same Washington/South Dakota family ownership until just last year. The car has lived its whole life on the west coast so you know it is as solid as a rock! It recently came out of storage and has been made ready for the open road once again. Don't miss your chance to own a truly beautiful Corvair Greenbriar that will get looks everywhere it goes....Bid Now! The following is a list of options as this Greenbriar is currently equipped: -65hp 145ci 6cyl Engine (Rebuilt) -4 Speed Manual Transmission -Chevrolet Hubcaps w/ Color Matched Steel Wheels -New Radial Tires w/ PortoWalls The body on the car is overall straight and totally solid and rust free. The paint on the car is finished in its original coat of Sierra Gold having absolutely ZERO paintwork over the years. The original owner had the dealer paint the white cove and roof shortly after purchasing the van in 1962 for a cost of $35 at the dealer! I would describe the overall paint as a very nicely kept paint with a few small imperfections and chips, which have been touched up. Remember, this paint is over 50 years old, but looks great going down the street and still has a high shine and luster! The car has been completely inspected underneath from front to back and is solid as a rock as any West Coast car should be. Remember this van was only driven in the warm months when the family took it on adventures and was always stored away correctly during the winter. The car is riding on nice, original restored wheels and has new radial tires. All chrome trim, glass, and rubber seals are in good original condition and have not been altered since new other than front bumper which was just redone due to a small dent. The interior is in very good shape all around. The seat is in good condition with only minimal ware, which shows the quality of materials used in this car. The previous owner at some point thought about restoring it and contacted SMS fabrics and the original material is still available. The rubber floors are all very nice are not worn or damaged. The dash is like new and looks great. All gauges and controls function as they should. The original AM radio even still works great. All lights, gauges switches, and accessories work as they should. The rear camper area is flawless and all cabinets are beautiful and all latches and hinges are in excellent condition. The rear bed cushions look freshly redone with new foam and material and nothing is dirty or has any kinds of funny smells or ware. Mechanically, this Greenbriar runs GREAT! The car starts right up and shifts smooth as silk. A lot of time and money was spent under the hood of this little Van. The motor is a fresh rebuild at 64,000 miles and has always been super meticulously maintained. The van starts up and runs like silk. It also is tight as a drum and leaks nothing...extremely rare for a Corvair! Brakes, fuel system, suspension were all done at some point during his 20+ years of ownership. He always did his own work and made sure it was in tip-top shape. Under the hood looks fresh and detailed. The really neat thing about this van is its exceptional original documentation. This Corvair literally has everything that ever came with it including original purchase documents, receipt for engine rebuild, original owners manuals, dealer brochures, accessories booklet, and all necessary original service books to keep this van running great! It also includes all of its original camping equipment right down to the original Coleman cooler, stove, and kerosene lantern! All in all, this is truly one of the coolest Corvair Greenbriars on the road today. Its early vintage sets it apart from all of the others. It has been professionally maintained and truly loved by its previous owners. This is your chance to get a like new classic camper for a fraction of the original cost.

1983 Motorweek showdown pits Porsche 928S vs. Chevy Camaro Z28
Mon, Jan 12 2015Last month, Motor Trend threw the Camaro Z/28 and Porsche 911 GT3 into the bear pit and let them fight it out. Way back in 1983, MotorWeek had the same idea, comparing the Camaro Z/28 to the Porsche 928S. At the time, the Camaro was America's best selling sports coupe, the 928S was Porsche's top-of-the-line model that also had the highest top speed of any car sold here. And the price differential was even more stark then: $13,600 for the Camaro, $45,000 for the Porsche. That put the Z/28's cast-iron, 5.0-liter V8 with 190 horsepower and 240 pound-feet of torque against the all-aluminum 4.7-liter V8 with 234 hp and 263 lb-ft in the 928S. Even with that and the Camaro being 14 inches longer than the Porsche, the American was a surprising 40 pounds lighter than the German. The show took them to Summit Point Raceway in West Virginia to see how close a relative performance bargain could hang with a the German GT. Both had five-speed manual transmissions, but the high-speed corners and tight sections of Summit Point would test other handling variables, including the "bone-rattling" Camaro's solid rear axle and disc and drum brake setup vis-a-vis the four-wheel disc brakes and independent suspension on the "firm-but-smooth" Porsche. Paradoxically, the larger disparity 22 years ago resulted in a closer result. Check out the video to see how the Summit was won.

GM recalls 200k Hummer H3s for fire risk
Thu, Jul 9 2015An issue with fires erupting in some Hummers has prompted General Motors and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall for nearly 200,000 vehicles around the world. The bulk of them are in the United States. According to the first statement (below) obtained by Autoblog from GM, the issue stems from the HVAC system in Hummer H3 models. The connector module for the blower motor has, in certain cases, overheated, melted the surrounding plastic, and started a fire. 42 such cases have been reported, including three instances of occupants citing minor burns. GM confirms that two of those three cases lead to the vehicle being destroyed in the fire, but states that no crashes or fatalities have resulted. The issue affects 196,379 examples of the 2006-10 H3 wagon and the 2009-10 H3T pickup, with 164,993 estimated to be in the United States. In order to fix the issue, dealers are being instructed to replace the relevant parts of the connector and harness. In a second, unrelated campaign, GM is also calling in 50,731 Chevy Spark and Sonic small cars – 45,785 of them in the US – due to a software glitch. In those affected vehicles fitted with the base radio and OnStar system, the audio system may not be able to switch out of turn-by-turn direction mode, causing the display to go blank and all sound to mute – including key safety warnings. In addition, the system may not switch off, draining the battery. GM states that no crashes, injuries, or fatalities have resulted from this issue, and all that dealers will need to do in this case is reflash the software.

The heat could melt the plastic surrounding the connector module, increasing the risk of a fire. Dealers will replace the affected portion of the connector and harness. GM is aware of three reported minor burns and 42 fires but no crashes or fatalities related to this condition. Including Canada, Mexico and exports, the total recall population is 196,379. ### General Motors is recalling 45,785 2014-2015 model year Chevrolet Sparks, and 2015 model year Chevrolet Sonics in the U.S.
