     This listing is for a 1963 Chevrolet Corvair Monza 900 with a manual transmission.  It has a black exterior and a red interior.  The car's exterior includes an impressive amount of chrome on pieces such as the front headlights, the back of the side mirror, and the trim along both sides of the car.  This car is in amazing condition for being more than 50 years old.  The vehicle comes with all analog gauges which can all be viewed in the pictures and videos.  The speedometer and gas gauge are responsive and accurate.  The odometer also works well (it can be seen turning in the video).  Both turn signals in the front of the car work very well.  Both headlights and high beams work well also.  The lights on the interior dash that blink when the turn signals are on both also work.  This vehicle comes with a fully functioning horn.  The windshield wipers are new and both of the wiper motors work.  The heater in the car blows warm air after a few minutes of warming up.  The switches on the dash used to activate things such as the radio, headlights, heater, turn signals, horn, etc work just as they should.  All four of the windows in the car work and go up and down as they should.  This car also comes with a functioning aftermarket radio system with three speaker fixtures integrated throughout the car.  There is one speaker underneath the dash and one on either side of the car in the rear.  These speakers produce good sound and can be heard in the video.  The headliner in this car has been replaced very recently (unlike many of the Corvairs that I've seen come up for sale).  As would be the case with any 50+ year old vehicle, there are a few subtle imperfections in the body (which can be seen in the pictures).  The odometer goes up to 99,999 miles and reads 31,355 miles so it may have turned all the way over in the past.  The six cylinder engine runs strong and starts up quickly.  The four speed manual transmission shifts through all gears smoothly.  I just got back from a 50 mile drive through a combination of rolling country roads and a few stretches of interstate.  I wouldn't think twice about taking this car across the country.  Truly a vintage pleasure to drive.

     There is nothing being intentionally hidden about this classic car, as so many people do in ads and auctions.  If there is something you should know about the car of which I am aware, it's available to you in the listing.  Use the combination of the photos, videos and text for full disclosure, with more emphasis on the photos and videos as the description is clearly not intended to be exhaustive.  As eBay says, a single picture is worth a thousand words.  eBay strongly recommends the best practice of providing as many photos as possible and letting the photos do the talking, rather than trying to describe in words what can be seen in a photo or trying to recreate in words what already is provided in photos.  I have gone far out of my way, unlike many other online sellers, by shooting hundreds and hundreds of photos in just about every imaginable angle for you to analyze.  By doing this you don't have to rely on a seller's "interpretation" of characteristics of the car, but instead you can draw your own conclusions from what you see.  My goal is that if you use everything I provide to you, you get a more thorough demonstration of the car than if you came to see a car in person.  With that being said, I still gave you my impression of the car's characteristics above as material for secondary analysis.  If your impression of a picture/video differs from what I've written or said, then your own opinion should govern your conclusion.  If you have any questions please message me through the eBay messaging system, which eBay indicates is always the preferred method of communication.  I will generally answer within a few hours.

     TRANSACTION RULES: A deposit of $500 is to be made by Paypal payment within 48 hours of listing close.  The remainder of the full payment is to be made within 7 calendar days of listing close by either cash in person or bank wire transfer.  Failure to make the full payment within 7 calendar days of listing close will result in the forfeiture of the $500 Paypal deposit and will result in the sale of the vehicle to another buyer.  If after you make the initial $500 Paypal deposit you change your mind and would no longer like to purchase the vehicle, you agree to forfeit the $500 Paypal deposit.  All shipping costs are the buyer's responsibility unless otherwise agreed upon.  Vehicle may only be picked up once full payment has been cleared.  Storage for the first 14 days is 100% FREE.  There is a storage charge of $25/week beyond 14 days after the end of the listing.  If you want to avoid these storage fees but can't pick the car up for months, I can set you up with a public storage unit under your name, put the car in there and Fedex you the keys, title, etc. as long as you have paid in advance.  You must read the entire auction description, follow the rules, and study each picture and video fully.  Any inspections must occur prior to the auction end.  I do not offer a warranty on anything that I sell, ever, as a matter of personal philosophy -- this Chevrolet Corvair is being sold AS-IS with absolutely no warranty of any kind expressed or implied --.  Other than what is seen in the videos/pictures, no testing of this car or its mechanical/electrical aspects have been done and there is no implication that something works on it that hasn't been specifically demonstrated to be working in a video or text; you should not assume something works or is present that would have worked or was present when this car was new.  For liability avoidance, I must state that all systems have to be professionally safety-checked prior to your use of this car.  You get the car as pictured, captured in the videos and described, a clean and clear title, a bill of sale, two keys, and any vehicle records that I have in my possession.  By placing a bid on this car, you agree to abide by the transaction rules.

My year in EVs: 8 electrics that are changing the car industry

Wed, Dec 1 2021

The year 2021 will go down as an inflection point in the auto industry’s transition to electric vehicles. It's when many much-anticipated models became reality. No longer sketches or sketchy prototypes, electric vehicles appeared from all corners with everything from the Lucid Air to Ford Mustang Mach-E changing how we think about transportation. I managed to drive a lot of them, and as I went through my notes, I realized IÂ’ve got a mini memoir of the seminal EVs of 2021. HereÂ’s my take on eight of them. Hummer EV Easily the most over-the-top EV I tested this year. The 1,000-hp super truck lived up to the hype with its domineering presence, stupendous power and simply being a reincarnated Hummer. I took it for a short spin on- and off-road at the General Motors Proving Grounds in Milford, Mich., and was impressed with the airy cabin, removable sky panels and expansive touchscreens. Yes, I crab walked, which felt like steering a pontoon boat, though I can see why it would be useful. Lucid Air Dream Performance The most beautiful sedan I tested all year, EV or otherwise. Unlike the futuristic Mercedes EQS — which is quite attractive — LucidÂ’s car is a blend of mid-century modern interior aesthetics and classic European exterior styling. When I walked up for my test drive, someone who IÂ’m pretty sure was comedian Jon Lovitz was sitting inside and taking it all in. As it sat in the valet of a hotel in a wealthy suburban enclave north of Detroit, the Lucid drew more attention than any of the Mercedes, Cadillacs or Lexus models passing by. The driving experience was enveloping. Starting at $169,000 for the Performance model (reservations are closed), the Lucid I sampled packed 1,111 hp and 471 miles of range. From the precise steering to the comfortable suspension, the dynamics were spot-on. It's a formidable product, and all the more impressive given itÂ’s LucidÂ’s first. Chevy Bolt EV The Bolt was the most pleasant surprise for me. It handled well, offered low-to-the-ground hot hatch dynamics and the steering was dialed-in. Adding a crossover variant for the new generation was a smart play. On a summer morning where I went to a first drive of the Ford Bronco at an off-road course, my hour-long commute in the Bolt was an enjoyable appetizer.  The Bolt was also my biggest disappointment due to its extensive recalls for fire risk. Ironically, I had the Bolt in my driveway when the initial recall went out for the previous generation (2017-19).

Chevy Cruze CNG available from Crazy Diamond Performance

Thu, Aug 7 2014

Anyone out there who can somehow find a second way to link Pink Floyd to natural gas vehicles gets a prize. Because so far, we have one Michigan-based company called Crazy Diamond Performance (Shine On You Crazy Diamond being a longtime Floyd fave) that's setting out to convert Chevrolet Cruze vehicles to run on compressed natural gas (CNG). All in the name of cheaper fuel and domestic security, of course. Crazy Diamond says it can offer a converted CNG-powered Chevy Cruze for a price as low as $26,000. That four-cylinder version has 130 horsepower and an 8.5-gasoline-gallon-equivalent capacity that provides a full-tank range of as many as 250 miles. Pony up another $2,000 or so and the peppier, turbocharged CNG Cruze can be yours. The company says it will provide a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty and is trying to get EPA certification for its conversions. The selling points are cheaper fuel (CNG is about half the cost of regular gasoline in some parts of the country) and homeland security (CNG reduces dependence on foreign oil). The only production passenger vehicle CNG in the US is the Honda Civic CNG, which sells in very limited numbers. Check out Crazy Diamond's flyer here.

How a Texas Hyundai dealer became the Chevy SSR king

Tue, Apr 21 2015

The SSR isn't one of the most appreciated vehicles in Chevy's long history. With a style amalgamating the look of a vintage hotrod, convertible and a pickup, it's really serving a niche market right from the start. However, a Hyundai dealer in Texas has turned selling the cult models into a booming business and has become the de facto king of the quirky truck. According to Automotive News, Paul Peebles runs North Freeway Hyundai in Spring, TX, but he's better known in the Chevy SSR community the premiere seller of the weird model through his used car network. The odd venture started in 2010 when Peebles wanted to boost his pre-owned business and bought several sporty vehicles. Among them were five SSRs, and he threw a cookout for owners to get the word out. Things just ballooned from there. Since then, Peebles' used car dealer has had a hand in 447 SSR transactions, and some of those are the same truck coming back to sell again. With just over 24,000 of them out there, that works about to two percent of the model's production moving through just one business. The dealership also sponsors an SSR owners' forum online. Being a major broker for a niche model also means that Peebles often gets rare examples of the SSR, including some of the Indianapolis 500 pace car versions, according to Automotive News. We even saw a bizarre one last year when the business put this shark-inspired truck on eBay Motors. The whole thing also works out well for Peebles' Hyundai business. Specializing in SSRs brings other performance models in as trade-ins, and they can draw folks to the lot to check out the collection. Then, maybe visitors can take a look at a Sonata, too.
