Here is a pretty rare 1964 Chevrolet Corvair Rampside pickup. 1964 was the last year for the Rampside, and only 850 were built. About 140 are said to remain.

This one is a nice looking driver. It came from Oregon, and the previous owner had a Maaco paint job done. Looks great from 10 feet but does have some minor blemishes and dings.
No serious rust, only a few small areas. Under side of left rear corner panel has some rust out. Also left side under engine cover has some rust perforation. Nothing structural or serious.
Underbody is solid.

Previous owner also installed a 65-66 140 h.p. four carburetor engine which runs great and is very peppy. Two of the carb ports are blocked off. Both carbs were professionally rebuilt.
It has two Harley-Davidson mufflers which work well and give the engine a great sound. The four speed transmission has the later design shifter and works well, along with the clutch. I resealed the engine, but it still leaks a little from the oil pan and transmission. Fresh oil and all filters changed. Has electric fuel pump.

Almost everything works on this pickup, including the original accessory windshield washer with under dash fluid reservoir. The original AM radio sounds good. All lights, both inside and outside are working. The left turn signal does have to be cancelled manually. Also, the fuel gauge s not working. The gas tank was cleaned and sealed by previous owner.

Tires have decent tread, but are pretty old and probably not worthy of a long highway trip. Glass is all good. The windshield does have a wiper scuff mark. Brakes work well and I recently replaced the master cylinder. The four latches for the ramp and tailgate work fine.

Overall this is a very sharp looking pickup. Not a perfect show vehicle, just a good running original driver which attracts a lot of attention. Clear Colorado title in my name, but not plated.

GM wants to have 10 plug-in models in China in five years

Sun, Apr 24 2016

Last we checked, General Motors was selling all of three plug-in vehicle models in its home country of the US, and is prepared to make the Chevrolet Bolt EV available on these shores later this year. So it's notable that the automaker is hatching plans to have at least 10 plug-in variants for sale in China within the next five years, according to Hybrid Cars. Which plug-ins are coming remains a mystery. GM started selling a hybrid version of the Buick LaCrosse in China this month. The strategy makes sense, as China is now the world's largest car market, and accounts for about a third of GM's annual revenue. The automaker, which operates in China under the SAIC-GM and SAIC-GM-Wuling joint ventures, sells cars there under the Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac, and Boujun badges, and has been doing so for the better part of two decades. Most recently, GM started selling a hybrid version of the Buick LaCrosse in China this month. What we do know is that GM is building its Cadillac CT6 Plug-in Hybrid in China, with distribution to be split between China and the US. That model, which is scheduled to start sales by the end of the year, is being built overseas because of a combination of Chinese government support for new-energy vehicle technology through incentives and the fact that battery-pack maker LG Chem makes most of its cells in nearby South Korea. The plug-ins are part of a broader plan by General Motors to either introduce or substantially tweak about 60 models by the end of the decade. With such new models, GM looks to boost unit sales by as much as five percent a year for the next few years. As for the other nine plug-in models slated for China by 2021, the company is mum. GM spokesman Dan Flores declined to comment to AutoblogGreen.

GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel destined for Chicago debut

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

It's been a little over a year and a half since General Motors first confirmed plans to offer a diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze here in the United States, and we've now learned that the oil-burning compact will debut under the lights of the Chicago Auto Show in February. According to GM Authority, the Cruze Eco-D will be introduced as part of the entire 2014 model year Cruze range, set to go on sale in the second quarter of this year.
Earlier reports have indicated that the diesel Cruze will be able to achieve fuel economy numbers in the range of 50 miles per gallon. For comparison, the similarly sized Volkswagen Jetta TDI is rated at 30/42 mpg city/highway, but as we found out in our long-term test of the 2011 model, hitting 50 mpg was a piece of cake.
Official specifications will be released at the time of the 2014 Cruze's unveiling, though reports have stated that the sedan will be powered by a reworked version of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four found in the Holden Cruze CDX overseas. In that application, the four-pot oil-burner produces 160 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque - increases of 20 hp and 29 lb-ft over the 2.0-liter engine used in VW's Jetta TDI.
