1963 Chevy Corvair Coupe, Monza 900 Automatic.

Time to sell my 1963 Corvair Monza 900, Automatic. I was just given a new Grate Dane and need a larger vehicle to move him around in. This Corvair is in nice shape with three rips in the driver's seat along the seam and the headliner in the rear passenger side needs new stitching. It does have the typical minor transmission drip - it likes to mark its spot, otherwise it cruses nicely at 70 on the highway and stops when asked with confidence. Has new K&N Air filters, has just had an oil change and new belt installed. Comes with an extra oil filter and belt, new gas cap and a reproduction owner’s manual. No other known issues. It has 57,600 original miles (title states "original") which will change as it is driven on weekends and it has a clean Virginia Title in my name. Added features include the 1/2 vinyl landau top, luggage rack, fender skirts, electronic fuel pump, fender signal lights, door and trunk trim, extra insignias. Registered as a historical vehicle, it comes with never before used 1963 VA plates which will stay with the car and other items that the previous owner added over the years. It has a full size car cover as well and duel exhausts. Both heat vents open and close automatically as needed when the engine heats up as well. Back seat folds down.

The car is located in Northern Virginia, in Vienna VA, zip is 22182 and is garaged. There is minor rust here and there which you would normally see on a 51 year old car. It has been painted during its life and may have had some minor body fill applied in its history. This car looks great at 2 feet. It has an FM booster in the glove compartment and used to have two antennas - it now has one. Wind shield wipers appear to be original then they work fine. In the trunk is an original glass bottle for extra wind shield fluid and a jack - no rust.

The car can be driven away with confidence. It is air cooled, has good tires but no spare. It cruses nicely at 70 and has lots of extra power available - I haven't taken it over 75 but it can easily do that if the next driver wanted an interesting experience.

For Those in Northern Virginia:
Saturday morning (June 14th), I will be at Kate's Cars & Coffee in Great Falls at 760 Walker Rd, Great Falls, VA 22066 - which runs from 6:30AM - 8:30AM in case anyone would like to have a look at it in person. I am usually the only Corvair on site. I will have a For Sale sign on it.

Please come and view the car before bidding so you know what you are bidding on. It is a unique piece of automotive art and attracts a lot of comments and memories from others who have either had one or had parents with one in the past.

If you would like to see the car at another time, I am located near Huntermill Road and Dulles Toll Road in the Vienna/Reston area.

NHTSA approves hybrid rearview mirror display in Cadillac CT6, Bolt EV

Tue, Feb 23 2016

The Chevy Bolt EV prototype doesn't just have a fancy new all-electric powertrain. Just outside the driver's line of sight is a newfangled rearview mirror, one that can turn into a screen that shows a moving image from the rear-facing camera. Speaking to NPR's Robert Siegel yesterday, Department of Transportation secretary Anthony Foxx said that NHTSA has now approved this type of mirror/screen for use in vehicles. According to a letter from NHTSA to General Motors, GM will likely use this Full Display Mirror first in the 2016 Cadillac CT6 before coming to the Bolt. In its letter to GM, NHTSA said that the Full Display Mirror will only qualify as a standard rearview mirror as long as there are normal side mirrors in place. In other words, don't expect to see cameras and screens replacing all the mirrors in a motor vehicle just yet. @AutoblogGreen @NPR - #NHTSA has OK'd GM rear-view system that can switch between mirror & camera views. pic.twitter.com/6CBeIit10v — Anthony Foxx (@SecretaryFoxx) February 22, 2016 The Full Display Mirror was developed by Gentex, which has long worked with GM. The FDM debuted in 2014 and some people hoped it would also make its way into the Tesla Model X. Gentex, which also makes auto-dimming mirrors, says that it has "set out to develop the technologies and core competencies necessary to manage this evolution of the rearview mirror." The Chevy Bolt EV will start at $37,500, before incentives. The 200-mile EV will go into production late this year for likely sale in early 2017. Related Video:

2016 Chevy Volt will not need premium gas

Wed, Oct 29 2014

Buried in the new technical details of the 2016 Chevy Volt released yesterday was a throwaway line about a small but important change that's due to the new 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine. The first-gen Volt has always required premium gas but the new powerplant will be happy burning plain old regular. The Volt's chief engineer, Andrew Farah, told AutoblogGreen that the change was due to today's Volt owners explaining they were not happy paying for top-shelf petroleum. "The ability to use regular unleaded was based directly on customer feedback," he said. "Since the range extender is an all-new engine, it was optimized to use regular unleaded at the outset. Using regular fuel will not have effect on vehicle acceleration or other performance factors." As Larry Nitz, GM's executive director of vehicle electrification, told AutoblogGreen yesterday, the new engine is more powerful and quieter than the outgoing 1.4-liter engine that's used in the current Volt. Fuel economy and EV range specs for the next-gen Volt are not expected until the full car is revealed at the Detroit Auto Show in January.

CNG-powered Chevy Sonic, Cruze headed your way

Fri, Nov 7 2014

The value proposition for a Crazy Diamond Performance CNG ride was a little bit better before gas prices took a dive in the past month. Still, the Michigan-based company, which converts some of Chevrolet's compact vehicles to run on compressed natural gas, received approval late last month from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for two of its conversion models. And CNG is still pretty cheap. Crazy Diamond will start selling CNG versions of both the Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Sonic. The startup will target fleet operators looking to cut both refueling costs and their carbon footprint. CNG can be found in much of the country in the low $2 range, while the average CO2 emissions are about 25 percent less than those of similar gas-powered vehicles. Average gas prices have tumbled by more than 30 cents a gallon in the last month, according to AAA, but they're still at close to $3. The two models will be able to go almost 300 miles on a full tank of CNG. Crazy Diamond said this summer that it would start selling converted a CNG-powered Cruze that delivers 130 horsepower for as low as $26,000. The turbocharged version goes for about $28,000. Take a look at Crazy Diamond Performance's celebratory press release below. Crazy Diamond Performance recieves EPA approval on its CNG Cruze and Sonic CDP receives EPA approval for its Mono-Fuel CNG Cruze and Sonic. Shelby Township, Michigan, October 30, 2014– Crazy Diamond Performance (CDP) receives EPA approval on its Mono-Fuel Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Sonic. Crazy Diamond Performance has received EPA approval on two new mono-fuel small passenger vehicles, the CNG Chevrolet Cruze and CNG Chevrolet Sonic. These new mono-fuel CNG platforms are the first of a series of small and fuel efficient vehicles coming from CDP, where cost, low emissions and reduced fuel consumption is important for not only fleet owners, but to the general public as well. "Soon to be available, are the 1.8L and 1.4L Cruze and Sonic CNG retrofit systems. These two vehicles represent a change in the status quo, with an OEM level integration of the fuel system and its components" states Michelle Fern, Executive Vice President CDP Inc. These vehicles provide flexibility for fleets looking to purchase a domestic small mono-fuel passenger sedan, but have not had an option until now. There are significant emissions benefits over its gasoline counterpart, with an average reduction in Carbon Dioxide (CO2) of 25%.
