Up for Auction is my beautiful 1965 "Evening Orchid" Corsa convertible. It has been in my collection and is a very sweet ride. But, I'm thinning out my herd. This Corsa is in very good condition for it's "age" and has the rare "P" code (Evening Orchid), paint with fantastic workmanship and outstanding trim. This is not a car to drive if you don't want to be noticed (Chick magnet), as it will get attention and compliments everywhere you park. This Corsa was previously a show car and has extra Monza badging installed. It is a "true" and original Corsa. It is rare to find a Corvar in this condition and with this "Color" and "caliber" paint! It only has a few small chips from normal use. All of the bright work trim on the car is like new, with exceptions of a dent in the rear upper cove trim, the RR wheel opening trim and some minor dents in the windshield stainless moldings. All of the glass is perfect with exception of the passenger door having some scratches. the floors were recently replaced and the trunk floor was previously replaced with correct metal welded in. There are a few small paint blisters showing on the right rear quarter behind the wheel trim, (see photo), and the left rocker under the molding. The seats show little wear and are nearly flawless, although the driver seat seems to be soft in the base as if the foam or springs are weak (not visually noticeable). The convertible top is near perfect condition with a new rear window and works manually as it should. The radio and wipers and heater all work properly. The windshield pillar weather strips and trunk weather strips are new.

The Car has had recent maintenance and has just been serviced by Steve Avery ("AVERY CORVAIRS"), in Greenville, South Carolina. Including a tune up, with new Ignition wires, spark plugs, rebuilt carburetors and fresh oil change. Also, the brakes were just "replaced", including wheel cylinders rebuilt and dual master cylinder. The rear wheel bearings are lubed and have had grease fittings installed and the front wheel bearings have been checked and repacked. All 4 shocks were just replaced with new "Clarks" shocks along with thermostats, a new Viton rear main seal and oil pressure switch. The wheels are beautiful with 15x7 ARE with 196/65 15" (front), and 205/56 15" (rear). The tires are Cooper touring (absolutely dig these treads!), with between 5/32nds and 7/32nds of tread left. . The 140hp engine has a "mild" cam and runs strong even though it is a "older" rebuild on a YR block, (TO407YR). There is a "trace" of smoke on cold start . The clutch and gearbox have no issues and shifts are smooth and no "abnormal" noises. The transaxle is the later (1966 up), "Saginaw" with a "Otto" parts strut bracket installed . Should If you have any questions call Steve at "AVERY CORVAIRS" at (828)-342-0953. Or Email him at vairtech@yahoo.com.

Note: This Corsa is being sold "as is" and no warranty supplied or implied. I have the right to end this auction at any time due to it being for sale locally.

Chevrolet FNR is a sharp vision of the future in Shanghai

Mon, Apr 20 2015

The Shanghai Motor Show is about more than just displaying the latest extended-wheelbase luxury sedans to the Chinese populace. Chevrolet is taking advantage of the event to debut its vision of the future of motoring with the FNR concept, and the capsule looks like it could be fresh from off the set of Blade Runner. The FNR imagines what a fully autonomous, electric vehicle might look like many years from now and is meant to appeal to young, Chinese consumers. The concept's design from the minds at GM's Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center does a pretty neat magic trick, too. Most times it's a mass of glass and curving lines that looks very sci-fi, but then the dragonfly doors open upwards to reveal some knife-edged angles in the styling, as well. As a cutting-edge concept, this capsule is also packed with futuristic tech. Power comes from magnetic hubless electric motors in each wheel, and it could charge wirelessly. Crystal lasers generate the headlights and taillights, and radar in the roof would allow scanning the surroundings for autonomous driving. The interior is similarly imaginative as the rest of the styling. Passengers are enveloped in blue light while sitting in mostly mesh chairs with huge bolsters. Keys have been done away with entirely in favor of iris recognition. Once on the road, the front seats even swivel around to more easily talk with rear passengers. Check it all out in the gallery above for a glimpse a Chevy's vision of what might be next.

Chevrolet-FNR The Chevrolet-FNR is an autonomous electric concept vehicle that offers a glimpse at mobility of the future.

Engineering, design and electrification teams drew on their past experience developing electric concept vehicles.

MotorWeek Retro Review revisits 1984 Corvette

Thu, Oct 1 2015

MotorWeek's Retro Reviews are always a great glimpse into the cars of yesteryear. However, the newly uploaded look back at the 1984 Chevrolet Corvette is an absolute treasure trove for any auto history buff. This is a full episode of the show from the '80s, and it's dedicated to all of the details about the newest 'Vette to hit the market at the time. Beyond just the usual drive and an in-depth walk around, one of the major highlights here is a brief look at some on the concepts that eventually resulted in the fourth-generation Corvette of 1984. The C4's shape harkens back to sketches from 1978, and there even shots of early clay models that led the way for the design. MotorWeek also takes a tour through the Bowling Green, KY, factory for a detailed inspection of the entire production process. John Davis repeatedly calls the Corvette "the plastic fantastic" during the episode, and he can't find too much negative to say about being behind the wheel of the then-new coupe. See how it stands up to your own memories in the clip above.

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
