Up for auction is my '65 Corsa daily driver, all-year round.  NO RESERVE.  140hp runs very well, no issues at all, starts immediately.  No hot-start issues.   4sp shifts very well, no issues.  Clutch is beginning to slip, my estimate is that it will need repalcement in 5K miles.  Throwout bearing and pilot bushing making no noises.


Oddities:  No radio, has been replaced with compass and exterior temp display (see picture)
3.08 rear axle.  Stock is 3.57, so this car gets exceptional mileage.
Oil filter has been relocated and uses a (very available) FORD V8 filter.
rear defroster.
Window antenna for the radio you can add.  Speakers in rear deck.
Front disc brakes
Buick 14" rims.

The good:
Engine is outstanding, ride is good.  Drifts a bit and a slight shimmy at 40 mph.  Front end parts are less than two years old.  Suspect steering box could use attention.
Interior is excellent.  Door panels near-perfect, seats excellent, are from a 92 Alero.  Leather, driver's is power.  Almost 16 inches front-back travel.  Both sides recline.  Headliner excellent.  Dash pad perfect.  Steering wheel had no cracks.  Underside is very good.  Heater works fine.  All glass is perfect, front and rear bumpers excellent.  Stainless trim good to very good.  Entire interior floorpan was PORd when the car was painted (8 years ago).

The (less) good:
Body is awful.  All the wheel well lips are rusting, as is the front fenders and rear lower quarters.  Typical Corvair bottom-of-windshield rust.  Doors good, not great.  Typical kick-vent leakage after a heavy rain.

Replaced within the last 2 years:
all front and rear suspension bushings
ball joints, upper and lower
front springs
u-joints (x4)
fuel pump (stock style, not electric)
gas tank 
alternator (one-wire, internally regulated)
primary and secondary carbs
shift tube bushings
heater hoses
rear springs (2 months ago)
muffler u-pipes
side view mirror



Following are inoperative:
windshield washer (was electric)
speedometer

following are known issues:
body rust
occasional front-end shimmy (probably steering box)
slipping clutch, noticeable under full throttle in 4th gear.

Motor Trend wheels the 2015 Corvette Z06

Tue, Nov 25 2014

The new Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is capable of some absolutely wild metrics. Want proof? Carlos Lago from Motor Trend is here to break it all down. 60 miles per hour? 3.2 seconds. 60 to 0? 91 feet. Lateral acceleration? A staggering 1.16g, a figure that is the highest MT has ever recorded for a vehicle that isn't a race car. It's an utterly astonishing piece of work, this Z06, and just when you think it can't possibly get any more impressive, Randy Pobst hustles an auto-equipped Z06 around Road Atlanta in just 1:30. Aside from the eight-speed auto, Pobst's Z06 had the most aggressive aerodynamic package, the so-called Stage III. Take a look at the 650-horsepower Z06 in Motor Trend's latest video.

These are the five most ridiculous attacks on the Chevy Volt [w/videos]

Thu, Aug 7 2014

It's been a long, strange trip for the Chevy Volt from the time when the now-odd-looking concept version (above) was introduced at the 2007 Detroit Auto Show to today. And now, General Motors announced that the second-generation Chevy Volt will make an appearance at the 2015 Detroit show in January. This debut represents a victory for GM with what has easily become the most politicized car of the 21st Century. There are plenty of reasons for someone to criticize the Volt, but what's amazing is just how much anti-Volt energy has been spent not on things like the styling or how the EREV setup is not as efficient as a pure-EV powertrain. As we wait for more official information on the new Volt, we thought it would be fun to go back and look at some of the most wildly incorrect reporting and strangest attacks on the Volt from the archives. There is so much good stuff out there, it was hard to pare the list down, but these are our five favorites. Amazingly, they're not all clips from Fox News. Check 'em out below. 5. GM Is Going To Stop Making The Chevy Volt In The US Do you remember when GM was about to move Volt production to China? Well, yeah, this was reported back in early 2012 when a GM executive mentioned that the automaker would get benefits of building the Volt in the places where it sells them. This was spun into a story of GM taking Obama bailout money and then running to China. The Blaze was not happy: "Given the fact that Federal government helped itself to millions and millions of taxpayer dollars under the pretense that it was going to combat high unemployment by creating 'green jobs,' it would seem that moving research and development (and possibly manufacturing) overseas is slightly, well, counterproductive." Well, of course, that never happened. There's no way to say that GM will never build a version of the Volt in China, but the news we hear rumors of these days is that GM is going to move production of more Volt parts (specifically, the motors) to Michigan from overseas. 4. The Chevy Volt Is A Fire Trap There has never been a Volt that just spontaneously lit up while driving down the road. Yes, there were Volts that caught on fire. Yes, that's a scary thing. But there has never been a Volt that just spontaneously lit up while driving down the road. These were crashed test vehicles with destroyed batteries and plugged-in vehicles that were not the cause.
