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. |

Sunday Drive: From a mid-engine 'Vette to a restomod RV
Sun, Jan 7 2018Automotive enthusiasts are a diverse bunch. As proof, we present last week's top posts on Autoblog, starting with some really good spy photos of the upcoming mid-engine Chevrolet Corvette. Will it be sold alongside a classic front-engine 'Vette? We have no idea, but we can't wait to find out. Up next is a pickup truck. Can't get much further from a supercar, right? At least both the Corvette and the 2019 Ram 1500 – which will debut a radical new design that appears to eschew the mini big-rig look of past Rams in favor of something more refined – are both American. Decidedly not American? The Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV. The boxy off-road 'ute looks a heck of a lot like the old one, which is probably a good thing, but we know it'll be fancier and more luxurious than ever before. Check out the leaked images below. Also hailing from Germany, but sharing absolutely nothing else in common at all, is the Audi A4 Allroad. We've been driving this all-wheel-drive wagon for a while now, and we like it quite a bit. And, last but not least, is a 1959 bus that's been converted into an RV. Like we said, y'all certainly are a diverse bunch.

Opel CEO talks new EV, will likely be fresh face for Chevy, too
Wed, Jul 23 2014The rumored demise of the Opel Ampera has been confirmed, but there's good news, too. Opel CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann has been busy Tweeting information about the brand's next plug-in vehicle, admitting that the Ampera is on the way out but that plug-in vehicles are here to stay. His Tweets, in full, read: After the eventual run-out of the current generation Ampera, we'll introduce a successor product in the electric vehicle segment. Our next electric vehicle will be part of our massive product offensive – with 27 new vehicles in the 2014-2018 time frame. We see eMobility as important part of the mobility of tomorrow and we will continue to drive down costs & deliver affordability. As we learned earlier this week, the Ampera will not be refreshed when the current Chevy Volt is updated, most likely because of slow sales. Opel sold just 332 Amperas in the first five months of 2014. For now, General Motors is still building Amperas in Michigan for export to Europe. So, what might this new EV mean for the General Motors plug-in fleet? Official spokespeople are being quiet, but we think it's safe to say the new EV Neumann is talking about is not simply a rebadged Chevy Spark EV. This is the first official word about an entirely new EV, and we expect it will come to both the Chevrolet and Opel brands.
Top 11 Lego Technic cars to buy on Amazon in 2024
Mon, Jan 22 2024Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change. I recently got a birthday wish list from my 11-year-old nephew, and I couldn't help but smile when I saw “Lego Technic Cars” at the top. Lego isnÂ’t a phase, itÂ’s a lifestyle. Once a Lego fan, always a Lego fan. In fact, IÂ’d be willing to bet that many of you reading this right now have some kind of Lego vehicle in a box somewhere, or better yet, on display in your home. While theyÂ’re not necessarily cheap, getting into building Lego Technic vehicles doesnÂ’t have to bankrupt you, either, unless you go for the $400 Lamborghini right off the bat. Here are 11 of our favorite Lego Technic vehicles on Amazon, right now, ranging from an affordable $35 all the way up to $450. LEGO Technic Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Ages 9+ (544 Pieces) - $39.99 (20% off) One of my first and favorite model cars growing up was a first-gen Ford Mustang GT350, so this GT500 for under $40 is right up my alley. At 544 pieces and made for ages 9 and up, the GT500 is a considerable step up from Grave Digger but a great starter to a Technic collection nonetheless. It isnÂ’t the most accurate-looking vehicle in this list, but the AR app and the fact that it can drive make it a worthwhile purchase. $39.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Formula E Porsche 99X Electric Ages 9+ (422 Pieces) - $49.99 Not a Ford fan? Not a problem. This Formula E Porsche 99X is the same price and better looking than the GT500. Even though there are 122 fewer pieces in this Porsche set, it has a level of detail seen in much more expensive Technic sets including numerous decals and a pull back motor. $49.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Jeep Wrangler Ages 9+ (665 Pieces) - $54.99 This is the set I ended up going with for my nephew, not because I think it is the coolest, but because for the price, I think you get the most bang for your buck. 665 pieces is over 50% more than the comparatively priced Porsche 99X and it also scratches the nostalgia itch for me: The first-ever model vehicle I built was a yellow Jeep Wrangler Sahara. This Wrangler Rubicon has definitely had some aftermarket mods like the front winch, which makes it one of the coolest Technic sets under $60. $54.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Monster Jam Grave Digger Ages 7+ (212 Pieces) - $34.16 If ever there was a gateway Lego Technic, this Grave Digger is it.
