The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Paint scratch rear quarter"

This auction is for a true survivor. The odometer only shows 56,000 miles and I believe this to be accurate by the condition of the car. It's a 64 Spyder and belongs to the neighbors of a friend of mine and they ask me to list it for them. The owner has recently had open heart surgery and feels it is time to part with the car. It's an outstanding example of a true survivor. 


 As far as I can tell the only restoration done to the car was a repaint. even though it was repainted I couldn't find any spots that either any dents or rust were repaired. There is currently a scratch on the left rear quarter panel about 6" below the belt line and another towards the rear upper part of the quarter.. This doesn't appear to be any metal damage but the paint should be redone in this area.I tried to get some decent pictures of the undercarriage to show any rust through but I couldn't find any. The bottom of the doors are very solid with only some light surface rust and paint flaking. The only rust I saw was inside the trunk area where the inner fender meets the floor pan. And this shows only as swelling in the seem area about 12" long. No holes at all. 
   
 The interior looks untouched as well as the undercarriage. The seats are in good condition for their age with no rips that I could see. The door panels could use some work as well as the drivers side arm rest. The carpet does show some wear but it is still intact and very useable. The top appears to have been replaced at some time and it is currently in nice shape with no rips. It also goes up and down very smoothly with no issues. There is also a cover to snap over the top when it is in the down position. I didn't try to install it at the time I looked at the car. All the gauges are in nice shape and work well except for the gas gauge which the owner says isn't reading correctly. The factory tach works smoothly. It has a radio but I didn't think to try it to see if it also works.

  The engine runs and sounds great. The owner did have some carb work done and whom ever did the work got it right. The car runs out great and It will sit and idle without loading up for as long as you would ever need it too. The clutch and transmission works equally as well. The clutch operates very smoothly either pulling out or cruising down the road. 

  This car in the condition it is in is a rare find. It is a great example of a pretty well all original Corvair Spyder convertible. It still has all 4 of it's original Spyder hubcaps. It would make a wonderful driver for those Sunday drives with the top down. 

  As always please if you have any questions do not hesitate to call and ask. If I do not have an answer I will do my best to find out and get back to you.

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes

Mon, 01 Oct 2012

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.

GM recalling 1.4 million older vehicles for oil leak fire risk

Tue, Oct 27 2015

General Motors is recalling 1,411,332 older vehicles with its 3.8-liter V6 yet again due to a fire risk. Specifically, there are 1,283,340 of them in the US, and the affected models are the: 1997-2004 Pontiac Grand Prix 2000-2004 Chevrolet Impala 1998-1999 Chevrolet Lumina 1998-2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo 1998-1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue 1997- 2004 Buick Regal The fault with these vehicles is that oil can drip onto the hot exhaust manifold during hard braking, which can potentially cause of fire. In the last six years, there have 19 reported minor injuries from this problem but no crashes or fatalities, according to the company. Spokesperson Alan Adler also told Autoblog: "GM has reports of 1,345 fires in vehicles that were repaired under two previous recalls for this issue." At this time, GM is still developing a remedy for the problem. According to Adler, the company advised owners to park these vehicles outside for the previous recalls. "The cars can be safely driven. In cases where a customer reported an engine fire while driving, smoke was reported, which would be an indication of a malfunction," he said. This is GM's fourth recall for this problem since 2008, according to The Detroit News. At one point it was believed that aging valve cover gaskets allowed the oil to leak out and drip onto the manifold. A campaign in 2009 covered nearly 1.5 million of these models through the 2003 model year for the same issue. At the time, dealers installed new spark plug wire retainers as a fix.

GM is working on a remedy. The company is aware of post-repair fires in some vehicles but no crashes or fatalities. There have been 19 reported minor injuries over the last six years. These vehicles with 3.8-liter V6 3800 engines are affected: 1997-2004 Pontiac Grand Prix, 2000-2004 Chevrolet Impala, 1998-1999 Chevrolet Lumina and 1998-2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 1998-1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue and 1997-2004 Buick Regal. Including Canada, Mexico and exports, the total population is 1,411,332.

Corvette Z06 and Viper TA square off at the strip

Wed, Jan 21 2015

There are many long-standing grudge matches among automobiles: 911 vs GT-R, Mustang vs Camaro, Ferrari vs Lamborghini... but as far as high-end American metal goes, it doesn't get much more legendary than Viper vs 'Vette. So after Chevy released the new Corvette Z06, we knew it was only a matter of time before it would have to square off against the Viper TA. And what better place to pit these two parallel pillars of American performance than on the drag strip? Fortunately that's just what we have here. In one corner, the 2014 Dodge Viper TA, with its 8.4-liter V10 pumping out 640 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque. In the other, the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, the supercharger on its 6.2-liter V8 more than making up for the discrepancy in displacement and cylinder count to produce 650 hp and just as much torque. But numbers don't tell the whole story, so watch the video clip to see which reaches the end of the quarter-mile first.
