Hello,

I bought this car as a project about 1.5 years ago. Had been in a garage in SF bay area for years. Had typical Corvair rust but the floors were in good shape because they look like they were heavily undercoated possibly when the car was bought new. I think Im the second or third owner. Speedo shows like 22,000 but not sure of the accuracy?

I have done allot of body work and replaced lower windshield panel (Clarks Corvair piece). Most areas have been plated in others not. I was building it as a summer Rat Rod driver so I only wanted to get the body decent for a colored suede primer. Body still needs some work its in first prime but decent.I replaced left door as it had been damaged in the past.

The windshield will need to be final fitted on lower corners but I have( no windshield) for it. Looks close and like I said lower corners probably will need final shaping after windshield is test fitted.

I have most all the trim like outside handles and most mouldings. The power top actually works but it needs a new top. All the side glass is good. Front and rear bumpers are decent but not perfect. I have some extra misc parts like extra outside and inside door handles etc.

I have most interior trim panels and rear seat and trim covers for power top mechanism but they all need to be redone as well as rear seats and carpet. Front seats are very clean original out of a 1964 Corvair Monza but obviously will need new covers to match.They fit well but need to be installed permanently. The dash has been partially redone and dash pad is nice. It has new headlamp switch. I remover the wiper assembly and heater ducts as i was going to drive it only in good weather and wanted the smooth look. I do not have these items but they could be reinstalled if a person wanted to. There is a new key cylinder for glove box installed.

There is a very small rust out in front trunk floor smaller than a softball,no other anywhere that i have seen.

Rear brake drums were turned and new shoes were installed,the front brakes will need to be done.

The motor runs well I replaced the plugs and wires,rebuilt the carbs and redid some of the fuel lines.New alternator and regulator as well as new battery.New oil and filter. I replaced oil pan gasket but now I see the push rod tubes will need new o-ring set as they are leaking.There is no muffler but has stock header pipes.

Transmission goes into all gears and acts like it is ok. I replaced oil pan gasket but I still have a leak at the trans selector shaft need seal kit.

Has stock wheels with hub caps and decent tires.

I have tried to be as complete and honest about all the details of the car. Its a PROJECT car and it will be a neat little summer driver when its done with not to much more work.

Will help with loading. It can be started and driven onto a trailer.

Has clean California with new plates, pink signed off.

All questions answered!

Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...

The Corvette Museum sinkhole has been filled

Wed, Feb 11 2015

After swallowing eight of the most prized pieces of the collection from the National Corvette Museum, the massive sinkhole from a year ago is rapidly becoming nothing but a bad memory. Based on the museum's weekly construction update, you can barely see the remnants of the 25-foot deep hole once in the floor. The Corvette Museum's Skydome was not always going to look like this. The original hope was to keep the sinkhole there as a tourist attraction. That plan eventually fell through, though, and instead it was decided five of the less-damaged Corvettes would remain unrestored. Progress has been moving fast to get the repairs done. Even a month ago, the hole was still very visible, and the construction company used remote-controlled Bobcat loaders to fill it in. Now, the museum has launched a contest to guess how many tons of stone it took to fill in the massive crater. The winner gets a print of the 2009 Corvette ZR1 Blue Devil being lifted out.

Next-gen Chevy Cruze caught cruising in the cold

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Spy photographers have caught what looks like the next-generation Chevrolet Cruze out on snow patrol. The camo could be tricking our eyes, but it look like it has an even tidier, more rounded front end and even lower fenders in relation to the top of the hood. And either a chunk of camo has been wedged between the side mirrors and the doors, or the mirrors are up for revision, too.
The door handles have been moved up the side of the car, leading the way to a rear end that grows a bit in length. If the rumors are true, the coming second-generation Cruze sits on the new D2XX platform that will replace the Delta and Theta platforms at General Motors. A global architecture, the Cruze will be the first to get it, but it will underpin everything from next Chevrolet Volt to the Equinox and could be responsible for 2.5 million units by 2018. The next Cruze is expected to begin production in GM's Lordstown, Ohio plant in the third quarter of 2014.
