1962 Chevrolet Corvair 95 Ramp Side Pick Up
You are viewing a super nice ride that is very cool and tricked out. Great surfer pick up wagon. Done, dialed in, super clean and ready to go. Needs nothing. The build was over a few years and just recently finished with 45K original miles showing on the odometer. The truck runs and drives excellent in town and at hiway speed. Driven 267 miles since finished a few months ago.
Please read on for more particulars of the car:
Body/Paint: The body is in excellent condition and is all steel. It has had some patches panels installed in some areas. No rust on the pick up. The body was professionally prepped for paint. PPG base/clear original colors for the year. Wet sanded and buffed to a really nice finish. The truck shows very well. Some alterations done that make the truck better than factory involving items the factory should have done. The engine cover was hinged to make it much easier to access the engine compartment with prop support. The lower engine door, which pulls out is 64 with the inserted license plate area. The bed, top edges and bottom portion of the rockers have bed liner material, which is color matched to the paint, both colors. The bed is near perfect with great care in appearance and quality of build using welting on the seams. Very presentable. Weather stripping has been replaced. Many items on the truck are powder coated for durability and appearance.
Interior: The interior has been restored with some Greenbrier model upgrades from a donor car. Done in a very cool quality vinyl with color coded piping. The interior is very 60’s looking and tasteful. The shifter is 64, which is much better than the 62 shifter set up. This requires a 64 gas tank to accommodate the shifter since the shifter rod goes through the gas tank. So much better to shift and drive than a stock 62. Upgraded door panels, sun visors and headliner. Gauge cluster is also out of a Greenbrier. Sound deadener in back of seat along with good spare tire and storage pockets on the back of the seat. New steering wheel and knobs and mats. Eight track player that works well with cab speakers. New carpet.
Running Gear: The engine has also been upgraded to a 65 Corvair car engine 110 hp, which makes the truck much better to drive with lots of power. The engine runs excellent and has very good compression. The flywheel has been bolted rather than riveted like factory that was a problem back in the day. Alternator upgrade providing better reliability. Carbs have been rebuilt in the past and work very well and recently tuned with new wires, plugs, points, cap and rotor. The trans is 4 speed stock with 64 shifter upgrade and works as it should. The trans axle is all in good working order with no issues.
Suspension/Fame: Clean with no rust and in very good condition. The springs have been cut to lower the truck providing a very cool stance. New hi pressure shocks installed. Drives excellent and very straight. The suspension on these trucks were over built and the same as a half-ton pick of the day. They are very solid and stout.
Bright work: Chrome bumpers are original in very good condition with a few scratches on the rear bumper. All bright work is in good to very good condition with some small signs of wear, but very presentable. Windshield chrome strip upgrade. Tail gate reflectors are also an upgrade aftermarket with blue dots on the lights. Polished stainless fasteners used throughout the truck primarily in the bed. Very classy and well done. Chrome bed handles are new.
Glass: All original in very good condition.
Exhaust: New stock exhaust.
Brakes: Non power stock drum brakes with upgraded dual line master cylinder that is new and stops excellent.
Wheels/Tires: Wheels and tires are new. 14X7 chrome five spoke Supremes with 195/75 R 14 tires.
What doesn’t work: Radio and fuel gauge do not work at this time. Heater is not working due to cables not being hooked up. The blower motor is in place. Summary: If you are seeking a very cool ride that is different and want to stand out this truck is certainly worthy of your consideration. Very cool and clean nostalgia vintage look that needs nothing. I have over 100 pictures of the truck so please contact me and provide your email address if you would like additional pictures. Great value and quality build for the money. Don’t let this truck slip away. Disclaimer: The car is for sale locally. The owner has the right to cancel the auction at any time for any reason. No warranties or guarantees are expressed or implied with the car being sold in "AS IS" condition. Feel free to call me to discuss the particulars. |

Chevrolet Camaros at SEMA are a mobile accessory catalog
Wed, 06 Nov 2013Chevy's goal at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas this week seems to be to show as much of its Performance and Accessories catalog as possible. That's why it brought three different Camaros - two with V8s and one powered by a V6 - with all of the best goodies from the catalog already fitted.
We gave a more in-depth recap of the Performance Camaro V8 Concept, the Performance Camaro V6 Concept and the Performance Garage Concept already, but we figured you'd like a short recap for each. It should be noted, though, that you can order all of the items you see here for your own Camaro, so be sure to take a long, hard look at our live galleries, just in case you're in the market for some mods.
Essentially, the Performance Garage Concept and the Performance V8 Concept are the same car - the only difference is that the later features a whole host of aesthetic tweaks in addition to its aftermarket, shorty exhaust headers and 2.75-inch exhaust. (The Performance Garage Concept has been usefully placed on its side; the better to see the new parts added to the vehicle.) The Performance V6 Concept is notable because, despite being a V6, there's no shortage of performance goodies fitted. All three of the Performance Camaros benefit from items from the Camaro ZL1, which can also be ordered through the catalog.
Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels
Thu, 24 Jan 2013The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.
GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing
Mon, 29 Jul 2013General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.
