140ci Flat 6, 4-Speed, Fully Equipped Pop-Up Camper Includes All Period Correct Camping Equipment! Here is a beautiful 1962 Corvair Greenbriar van that is truly one of a kind. 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. The car has a clean Arizona title. Any further questions please call Jon at 480-703-2337. The car is located in Sunny Scottsdale, Arizona.

Buick takes top spot in 2022 J.D. Power Initial Quality Study
Tue, Jun 28 2022People, economies, and supply chains weren't the only things continuing to get sick over the past year. The 2022 J.D. Power Initial Quality Study (IQS) is out, showing the average rate of problems per 100 vehicles (PP100) during the first 90 days of ownership increased overall. The average figure for the 32 ranked manufacturers in 2020 was about 166 problems per 100 vehicles. In the 2021 IQS, that dropped to an average of 162. This year, the average jumps to 180 problems. J.D. Power says that figure is a record high over the 36-year history of the study. Buick leapt to the top of the rankings this year with the fewest issues, at 139 problems per 100 vehicles in the first 100 days of ownership. After Dodge became the first American automaker to lead the IQS in 2020, followed by Ram in 2021, this year marks a three-peat for U.S. carmakers. Dodge took second this year at 143 PP100, Chevrolet third with 147 PP100, Genesis the first luxury maker on the chart in fourth with 156 PP100. Between February and May, this year's study gathered responses to 223 questions from more than 84,000 new 2022-model-year car owners and lessees. The questions are designed to zero in on real-world problems new owners encounter with nine categories of vehicle features: Infotainment; features, controls and displays; exterior; driving assistance; interior; powertrain; seats; driving experience; and climate. As has been the case in the past few year, infotainment has proved to be the most problematic bugbear making scores worse. Considering features individually, six of 10 of the worst problem areas dealt with infotainment, causing infotainment's score of 45 PP100 to be 19.5 PP100 worse than the second-placed feature. Consumers ranked getting Android Auto and Apple CarPlay to connect reliably as the most troublesome. GM didn't just score with Buick, which was one of only nine of the 33 ranked brands to show improvement this year. The conglomerate earned first place with the fewest PP100 among all the automaker groups, and scored the most model-level awards with nine, ahead of BMW with eight and Hyundai Group with three. This year's study again showed a gap between luxury and mass-market makers, thought to be down to the amount of tech in luxury vehicles that consumers aren't properly informed about or that doesn't act as expected — that latter issue exacerbated by the chip shortage.
GM patent reveals new two-stage turbocharger
Fri, Jun 24 2016Modern turbochargers may be some of the best ever made, but performance is something that engineers are always trying to improve. According to GM Inside News, General Motors (GM) is hoping to alleviate some of the negative aspects of a two-stage turbocharger setup with a newly-patented design. The patent, that was filed on May 19, 2016, reveals a clever bypass system that allows the engine, a four-cylinder unit, to optimize both the low-pressure and high-pressure inlets for its respective functions. According to the filing, a conventional two-stage turbocharger setup is engineered to allow both turbines to operate simultaneously at low and mid engine speeds. At high engine speeds, only the low-pressure turbine works. The setup can't isolate either the low or high pressure side, which can impair low-end performance. GM's new two-stage turbocharger setup looks to eliminate this by linking the high-pressure turbo to the exhaust manifold through the high-pressure inlet duct. The low-pressure turbo is attached to the high-pressure turbo by a low-pressure inlet duct, which is linked to a connecting channel. A single actuator that is housed in the exhaust manifold creates a bypass that can opens the high-pressure inlet or close the connecting channel. Depending on what the engine load and speed is, the ECU guides the actuator—a single rotating spindle with discs corresponding to flanges on the high and low pressure sides—to isolate one of the two turbos. Isolating the turbos allow the respective inlets to be engineered for the best possible fluid dynamic performance. The setup should increase performance and decrease lag. There's no word on what car this setup will make an appearance on, but it will most likely be used in premium vehicles before trickling down to the rest of GM's vehicles.
