1965 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Coupe 140hp Low Mileage on 2040-cars
Henderson, Nevada, United States
Beautiful 1965 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Coupe. Restoration over the past 16 months brought this car to look like new. Still having only 44,508 miles and garaged all it's life this car was purchased 3/21/65 in Hayward, California and ended up in Las Vegas, Nevada. The car never left the west coast. I am the third owner. Car had spent a few months as a lease/demo then sold with full warranty in 1965. The car was built in Chevrolets Van Nuys plant in Los Angeles. Always maintained well and has been in a "smoke-free" home. THIS CAR HAS NO RUST AT ALL! Car still has valid "original black plates" that were on the car from day one!
Features or options on the car were, 140 HP engine, telescopic wood wheel with "quick steering option",remote outside mirror (mechanism in place but removed outside mirror for appearance. Powerglide automatic transmission, padded dash, am radio with rear antenna,deluxe seat belts with retractors, spare tire lock. Here's some of the work done in the restoration: All trim work professionally powder coated. All new brakes installed. All four carbs rebuilt and painted. Also replaced the vacuum choke controls. Replaced alternator with higher amp model. New dual master cylinder for brakes. Replaced torque convertor and new seal. Replaced vacuum modulator. New idler pulley, new belt also. New engine seal. New engine mount. New "U" joints installed. New wheel bearings. Engine gone through, everything adjusted, new spark plugs/wires and everything that was in question was replaced, nothing overlooked. Complete oil change and lube suspension. Has KONI shocks. ALL NEW INTERIOR, NEW CARPET KIT, ALL SEATS REDONE,NEW HEADLINER AND BOTH VISORS,NEW GLOVEBOX. Installed seat extender for tall driver, extra 3 inches of room. NEW CUSTOM 15 INCH CHROME SUMMIT RACING WHEELS WITH LOCKS INSTALLED. ALL NEW TIRES FRONT AND REAR. Car does need a couple of things done still, door hinges making some "clicking sound" when opening doors so you may want to replace them down the road. Radio not hooked up. All in all this car would be considered by most a very good condition professionally restored antique automobile. The cars a big hit at the shows! Perfect time of year to purchase a car before all the car shows start. Buyer will send deposit of $500.00 at auction close. Final arrangements will be communicated at auction close. |

2020 Chevy Trax spied sporting design cues from the new Blazer
Wed, Oct 3 2018We saw spy shots in August for what we thought was either a redesigned Chevrolet Trax or new GMC subcompact crossover. At the time we were leaning Chevy. But after this latest batch of spy shots taken near GM's proving grounds, we're now thinking this one is the Trax replacement and the other one was a GMC. For one, the thin row of LEDs looks remarkably similar to the 2019 Chevy Blazer's LED strip. The additional light slightly below that is similar to the Blazer as well, leading us to believe that the next Trax will have a Blazer-esque front end. At first glance, this vehicle looks slightly larger than today's Trax with a much brawnier shape than the current blob-like design. The rear roof cladding could be hiding the same sloped rear window with spoiler hangover we see on the Blazer. Circling back to the other small GM crossover we caught testing, this one doesn't have those Blazer elements. The curved windshield and sloping roof are like those of the GMC Terrain, as are the horizontal grille bars. By contrast, the above car has a straighter windshield and a roof shaped more like the Blazer. One element that does seem to diverge from the new Blazer are the taillights, but they don't exactly look production-ready anyway. If we're right about this being the next Trax (and we're pretty sure we are) then this looks to be a more distinctive vehicle than what it will replace. The mirrors have left their awkward spot on the doors, and it's shaping up to be a much sportier looking crossover as a whole. This vehicle will most likely end up being a 2020 model year car, and if so, we would expect to see undisguised photos of both it and the assumed GMC version next year.

GM reintroduces Tripower name in the worst way possible
Wed, Aug 1 2018The story of General Motors' use of the Tripower moniker begins way back in 1957, when Semon E. "Bunkie" Knudsen, then General Manager of GM's Pontiac division, directed his engineers to inject more performance into his brand's line of V8-powered automobiles. Fuel injection was an option, but hot rodders flocked instead to Tri-Power (marketed way back when with a hyphen), which grafted a trio of two-barrel Rochester carburetors onto a single intake manifold. A legend was born. And that legend was born of performance. At idle and when full power wasn't required, Pontiac's Tri-Power system used just the middle carburetor, which helped make the setup easier to tune. Depending on the year and model, either a vacuum system or a mechanical linkage opened up the two outer carbs, thereby switching from two barrels to six, and allowing the engine to take in more fuel and air. And it was an easy marketing win – six barrels is better than four barrels, right? Because performance! So, when news filtered in that GM has resurrected the Tripower name, those of us who grew up attending classic car shows and wrenching on old Pontiacs did a double-take. And then we all collectively sighed. Turns out that today's Tripower refers to a trio of fuel-saving measures that include cylinder deactivation, active thermal management, and intake valve lift control, according to Automotive News. And, at least for now, it applies to GM's line of fullsize trucks powered by a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. We're all for saving fuel whenever possible. And we have zero say in how any automaker chooses to market its products and technologies. But, we'll offer our two cents anyway: Relaunching a storied name from the past is fine. Relaunching a storied name from the past while completely overlooking the reasons the name got famous in the first place is only going to irritate the people who remember the name in the first place. Couldn't they just call this new technology package something else?
