Well I'm sure no expert on Corvair's, but I acquired this Van from a guy who had big plans for it,

but then decided he didn't have the time to fix it up.

It has sat idle for several months. He was going to replace the fuel pump, and bleed the brakes, but never got around to it.

So any way, I ended up with the van, and it is just how I found it. (it's pretty dirty and could use some cleaning etc.) He says that with the exception of a few items, It actually runs and drives well.

Here is what I know about it....

It's in pretty good shape over all, (but not running at present time).

He told me it was painted years ago, and I think it looks O.K. for being 50 years old.

It has a nice set of newer tires and I would say it is not the typical rust bucket like so many I've seen that are this old.

The pictures, I hope, can show it's over all condition.

I have been thinking it was the same model and year used in the scooby- doo cartons back n the 70's.

It' s sure not perfect, but this would make a fun driver, or better yet, a candidate for restoration perhaps.

I would much rather you plan for the worst and hope for the best than be disappointed in anyway.

I have a clear and open Colorado title for it.

My opening bid is $3,500.00 with no reserve.

Now... all this having been said... I can't imagine finding a more original or a more un-molested Corvair panel van like this for the price. I only want the buyer to be as excited as I was when it came my way. I have no doubts that someone could have it and going again in very short order.

I think that whoever ends up with it will be very pleased...Just my thoughts.

Terms of sale...

I can not ship..... This means I can not crate, box, disassemble, or deliver to a shipping company. I will however be more than happy to assist your shipper, however I can.

If you have zero feedback, contact me before you bid or your bid will be canceled, and you will be blocked from further bidding as well.

A $200.00 non-refundable deposit through Pay Pal is required within 48 hours of auction's end.

PayPal is acceptable for the deposit only.

The balance is due via bank/certified check, or cash in person within 7 days of the auctions end. If you are an out of the states buyer, I will gladly work with you in regards to the time and details it takes to process payment.

Thank you

Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner

Sat, 24 Aug 2013

For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"

Veyron and C7 Corvette join cast of Transformers 4

Wed, 29 May 2013

Like the Fast & Furious franchise, the Michael Bay-directed series of Transformers movies has become known as much for its bad acting as its impressive lineup of cars. As filming just started for Transformers 4, Bay's website has confirmed two new cars for the next installment as well as a makeover for everyone's favorite tractor trailer hero, Optimus Prime.
Joining the cast of T4 are a "race-inspired" Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. While Bay's website did not supply names for either car, Bugatti is reporting on its Facebook page that the Veyron will join the Autobots. Speaking of the good guys, top Autobot Optimus Prime is getting an all-new body based on a Western Star with a gaudy appearance that was seemingly inspired by Trick My Truck - right down to the six smoke stacks and side pipes!

2020 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra recalled due to faulty brake component

Wed, Mar 11 2020

General Motors is recalling 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 pickups to fix a defect in the trucks' brake system. Certain Silverado and Sierra pickups were produced with brake-caliper bolts that were not heat-treated. Without heat-treating, the bolts are weaker than they should be, and there is a risk that they could fail, which would affect the trucks' braking performance, possibly leading to a crash. In total, 20,352 vehicles are affected. Owners of affected trucks will be contacted by GM. Dealers will inspect the bolts and replace those that are defective. Related Video:
