I bought this 1963 Corvair when I was on military duty in the Missouri back in 1990. I was at the US Army Engineer Officer School at Ft. Leonard Wood and saw this car for sale right outside the gate. I bought it from an older gentleman named Shelby.

Well I liked the way the car looked and there really wasn't much to do at Ft. Leonard wood after our courses were finished for the day, so I bought this car and began to drive it around post. I brought it to the auto club/shop and worked on tuning her up just right and waxed and washed her often. Well when duty was over at EOBC I had a friend fly out to MO from NY and we drove it back across country upon my graduation. I had aviator shades, we had a boom box in the back, and my friend got a pretty bad sunburn on that trip, but we were young and had the time of our lives in that car on that trip.

Unfortunately, that was really the end of my use of the is beauty. I got to drive my Dad in it once, and then it just sat for years in my driveway. I got busy with life, had a family, some point along the way got deployed to the middle east, survived that, and now I'm a middle aged guy.

I have wrestled with the idea of fixing her up again to give my son, but I own a few businesses now, and I really don't have the time to restore her.

It was beautiful when I first bought it but she all those years then about a couple of years ago when I towed it to a garage to get the mechanicals back up and running. I spent about 3 grand to get her running again and then it sat again for a couple of years.

It's time to cut her loose for someone to restore the splendor back into this car.

I believe I'm the second owner, although not sure.

She started up fine after I got her back from the garage, but as mentioned I let her sit again. I went out there last week to put a chargepack on the car, and the ignition turned the electrics on, but she didn't crank. This cars electrics and systems are so simple, it's probably a simple fix.

She has quite a bit of surface rust, but I took an automotive sander to one corner of her, and was happy to see that she would sand down to nice shiny metal. The floorboards will definitely need replacing and same with interior.

Make no mistake about this car, it is definitely a project car and I'm selling it "as-is", but I also think that with a bit of "can-do" attitude, and some time this car will make a nice restoration. Hell, if you do a good job, contact me, I might even buy it back from you!

But for now, she does have to go, I bought another muscle car, that I'm anxious to actually drive around in , but wifey wants this one gone now. So help a retired US Army Officer and bid away on this symbol of Americana (but only bid if you are prepared to take on a project or use her ...dare I say this, for parts...).

She has a clean title from Missouri. Not sure of mileage on vehicle, but I certainly didnt drive it that much and I seem to think it's in the mid 50's.

According to this a VIN Checker she was manufactured in Willow Run , MI.

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.

Here are 12 electric pickups in the works

Wed, Oct 21 2020

With the unveiling of the GMC Hummer EV, the list of planned electric pickups is expanding. Legacy automakers like Ford and Chevy have theirs coming, as do startups like Tesla, Rivian and Bollinger, as well as some lesser known brands. Here are all the electric pickup trucks we know to be in the works, along with a few that are being discussed or mulled over. GMC Hummer EV The 2022 GMC HUMMER EV is a first-of-its kind supertruck develop View 40 Photos We’ve seen it now, and itÂ’s the business. The GMC Hummer EV comes out swinging with 1,000 horsepower from GMÂ’s new Ultium electric powertrain program, a wealth of off-road features, a removable roof, Super Cruise and the revival of the Hummer name. WeÂ’ll see the first ones on the road next fall. Tesla Cybertruck Tesla Cybertruck at the Petersen Museum View 14 Photos Tesla revealed the Cybertruck last year with, ahem, unique styling, a number of powertrain options and a claimed range of up to 500 miles. It has a compressed paper dash, a ramp for the bed, and Â“shatterproofÂ” windows. It has already racked up hundreds of thousands of reservations. It will be built in Texas. Rivian R1T 2021 Rivian R1T View 15 Photos EV startup Rivian revealed its R1T electric pickup toward the end of 2018 with a claimed 0-60 time of 3 seconds and a towing capability of 11,000 pounds. Preproduction began in September 2020 at RivianÂ’s factory in Normal, Illinois. Bollinger Motors B2 Bollinger Motors B2 side outdoors View 31 Photos BollingerÂ’s B2 electric pickup is a Class 3 off-roader with retro styling, removable roof panels, and a unique Â“frunkgateÂ” with a pass-through down the center of the vehicle. It was created with both enthusiasts and workers in mind, with features that can get it to remote places (portal axles, hydro-pneumatic suspension) and to get things done (room for 40 2x4s, equipped with eight 110-volt outlets and one 220-volt outlet). Bollinger also plans to make the B2 Chassis Cab available for fleet customization. Ford F-150 Electric Electric Ford F-150 Towing View 9 Photos WeÂ’ve known this to be in the works since early 2019. Since then, details have trickled out. Back in June, Ford announced its F-150 Electric would be coming within two years. WeÂ’ve seen it pull a million pounds worth of train and trucks, heard it will have more power than any other F-150, and seen its LED-laden front end.
