1965 Chevrolet Corvair Base 2.7l on 2040-cars
Lodi, California, United States
|
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! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Reason for selling I just bought a super sharp 1985 Corvette!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 |

Race Recap: 2013 Indianapolis 500 better than Bollywood; all the emotion, none of the music [spoilers]
Mon, 27 May 2013If the 2013 Indy 500 were a movie it would be the one expected to win all the little statues come awards season, and if it were an athlete it would have made spectators watch in awe as it broke record after record. And this kind of talk comes after last year's race was considered one of the best ever - the last lap hijinks in 2012 and Takuma Sato's crash leading to a podium ceremony straight out of a Golden Globes tearjerker.
But this year's race delivered more than anyone expected, from the 250,000 fans to the commentators to the IndyCar series itself and, finally, to the guy who hopped through a two-mile window on Lap 197 to take the lead and keep it until the end.
2016 Chevy Volt will have more EV range, bigger battery
Tue, Oct 28 2014Meet the new Volt, not the same as the old Volt. That appears to be the story when General Motors introduces the 2016 Chevy Volt at the Detroit Auto Show in January. Today we're getting some more details on the guts of the new plug-in hybrid, and it turns out they're going to be much improved from the current Volt, which first went on sale at the end of 2010. Sure, the first-gen Volt did get some improvements along the way (a slightly larger battery pack, lane departure warnings) but the new Volt – which will go on sale in the second half of 2015 – marks the first time GM has been able to return to the drawing board and really make the improvements that its customers want. That's how Larry Nitz, GM's executive director of vehicle electrification explained it to AutoblogGreen today when explaining the all-new Voltec extended range electric vehicle (EREV) powertrain. "In the Gen 2 is we gave the engine a little more power, a little more torque, a little more displacement, more capability." – Larry Nitz Nitz said that the new Volt will be better in almost every sense: a bigger battery, longer EV-only range, 20 percent better acceleration in the low speed range and higher overall efficiency. This is due, in part, to the Volt's two motors being able to both act as generators and power the car. As we noted this morning, the 2016 Volt will use a larger, 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, a version of which is already used in the Chinese-market Cruze. Nitz said that this has a number of benefits, including more power and quieter operation. "Some people would say, why did you make [the first-gen engine] so big. I would say, why did you make it so small?" he said. "It works good, our customers love it, but the reality is that if you go a little bit off and use the car a little harder, you can get the engine to need to operate at a higher speed. In an EV, that's quite noticeable. So, what we did in the Gen 2 is we gave the engine a little more power, a little more torque, a little more displacement, more capability and what it has marginally enabled is not only is it more efficient but it's also quieter." Nitz wouldn't talk about how the new powertrain might affect the two other products that use the Volt's underpinnings – the Cadillac ELR and the Opel Ampera – but if you've got a quieter option, we assume that's something ELR drivers would enjoy. But that's a story for another day.
