Up for sale is my 1965 Chevy Corvair Monza 4 door hard top. I purchased it about 3 years ago with intentions of driving it. I drove it around the neighborhood as a golf cart for about 6 months and kind of lost interest and parked it when I couldn't title it. I was finally issued a clear title in my name 11/08/2013, but became a father on 08/14/2013.  It has sat in my climate controlled garage for 2 and a 1/2 years without being driven because I couldn't get a title. I went to crank it and it didn't start. I guess it's unreasonable to expect it to crank on 2 1/2 year old gas, but it was worth a shot. With the baby and fiance, I don't want to spend any time or money on it so I figured it's best to just sell it and try to get some of my money back. It was pulled out of the garage today to take pictures of it. I will try to give the best and most honest description, along with detailed pictures. When looking, please remember that the car hasn't been detailed and tire wet and all that other stuff. This is just how it set in the garage.

The antenna is not on, it is in the front trunk. The triangular glass washer bottle that is shown in the front trunk is quite valuable itself, as most of them have been broken. I was offered $250 for the bottle alone from a guy at a local car show trying to complete his corvair. I would plan on putting a paint job on the corvair cause it's far from perfect, but I took a cloth and polished a spot as seen below just to see if the paint was capable of shining. Right before I purchased the car, the previous owner put a brand new $2200.00 interior (including new carpet, door panels, seat upholstery, and headliner. He had also just had 2 brand new carbs put on as well as other things. The car needs new door seals, and the back door seals leaked a little and you can see where it kind of warped the door panels. I'll try and capture it in pictures the best I can. Interior is still in amazing condition. Vinyl was unharmed by the leak, just the door panels need a new piece of wood to stretch the vinyl over.

There are very small rust spots on the bottoms, and I am trying to get a picture of each one uploaded. Also the front right door does not seem to want to latch. As I said, I'm trying to do the best job I can do listing everything, but I may leave something out. This vehicle is sold as where is, and delivery is available for $1.00 per loaded mile. I have this vehicle for sale locally and reserve the right to end auction at any time. Call 252-342-2494 to come take a look. Thanks

I listed this when I didn't think a title was possible and it went for $1950, reserve not yet, however it was running and driving. I assume having a title more than makes up for the old gas, so that's where I'm starting the auction.

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.

1956 Corvette SR-2 factory racer profiled

Mon, Jan 19 2015

The Chevrolet Corvette has earned its place as America's sports car, capable of taking on the best the world can throw at it. Much of that winning reputation was earned with victories on the track. Now, there was a chance to own an early piece of the nameplate's motorsport history in the form of a 1956 Corvette SR-2 racer, but some deep pockets were necessary to get it, with an estimate of $6.885 million. The story behind the SR-2 is fascinating. In 1956, famous General Motors designer Harley Earl's son was racing in a Ferrari. Obviously, that wasn't going to work given his father's position within the automaker, and Harley and Corvette engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov got to work on a faster racecar. Three were made. This one was reportedly the first, and for 1957 it also received a fuel-injected V8 making a claimed 331 horsepower and four-speed manual gearbox, according to "Corvette Mike," the owner and seller. The SR-2 went on display in Scottsdale, AZ appropriately timed to coincide with the big Barrett-Jackson auction there that wrapped up this weekend. The car wasn't part of that event; instead marque specialist Mike Vietro sold the racer as a private treaty sale. Company spokesperson Troy Worrell told Autoblog both the bids and identities of the bidders will remain undisclosed. The video above goes into even deeper detail about this rare, finned Vette or check out the car's full description for even more info.
