Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"The car is in overall good condition and is mechanically sound. The engine runs great, and the transmission is solid with no apparent issues. The push-rod tube O-rings have recently been replaced, and that stopped the major infamous Corvair oil leaking. I have since detected one small oil leak, but I have not investigated it. It is probably a seal. The body is in very good condition. The rusted floor pans and bottom of the front luggage compartment were replaced with new sheet metal. The interior is in fair condition with all original components except seat upholstery. The seats have been covered with new vinyl slip covers."

1966 Chevrolet Corvair 500 coupe with 110 hp engine. 72,495 miles. Automatic transmission. Runs great. I recently replaced the push rod tube O-rings, which stopped them from leaking oil. I have also installed new carburetors. a rebuilt starter, and rebuilt alternator. I have modified the exhaust for a better sound. I have installed a new fuel pump as well as new oil pan and valve cover gaskets. I also installed new spark plugs and wires. The body is in very good condition. All the original exterior trim and chrome are present and in very good condition. All lights work, including back-up lights; and all light lenses are present and in very good condition. I replaced the dented hood with an undamaged one and painted it with white primer. It looks fine as it is, but I did intend to repaint the entire car at some point. The car has its original hub caps, and I put new radial tires on it. All the glass is good. I recently replaced a cracked windshield with a new windshield and had the rear window resealed. When I bought the car, the front and back floor pans and metal bottom of the front luggage compartment were rusted, so I had new metal installed in each of those areas. The rear seat springs are rusted and will need to be replaced at some point. Otherwise the interior is in overall fair condition with attention needed to various things. The dash is in good shape. The clock and instruments all work. The original door panels are present and in fairly good condition but do need to be repaired. The seats need to be reupholstered but are presently covered with new vinyl covers. All the windows work. All original window handles, door handles, etc. are present and in good shape. The horn needs to be repaired. The heat duct was removed when the exhaust was modified, but I have not taken the time to reinstall it. This car can be driven just as it is with attention paid to fixing details at your leisure. It looks good and sounds good driving down the highway. People notice it, wave, and give thumbs-up every time I drive it.

Next Corvette ZR1 to get 700 horsepower?

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

Word has it General Motors may offer as much as 700 horsepower in the C7 Corvette ZR1. Motor Trend reports the next Corvette Z06 will continue to rely on its naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V8 engine for thrust, but the lump will deliver substantially more power. How much more? MT says the engine could deliver up to 600 ponies. That's a jump of 95 horsepower over the current Z06, though no figures have been finalized as of yet. Right now, GM is reportedly waiting to see what sort of grunt it can glean from the next ZR1.
The automaker has already made it clear it will resurrect the LT5 name for the new supercharged V8, and if GM is already pulling 600 from the Z06, the big dog ZR1 would theoretically offer 700 horsepower. Either way, the range-topping Corvette will be suitably insulated from its less potent siblings. Stay tuned. We aren't likely to see the Z06 for at least a year, with the ZR1 trailing along at some point there after.

Former Fisker CEO has some advice for Tesla Motors

Wed, Oct 22 2014

Former Fisker Automotive CEO and ex-Chevrolet Volt vehicle-line director Tony Posawatz has some words of caution for Tesla Motors. The long-time automaker executive questions the California automaker's long-term viability – and gives some praise Â– in a talk with Benzinga, which you can listen to below. While the all-wheel-drive D that Tesla unveiled earlier this month in Southern California wowed a packed crowd, Posawatz (starting at around minute 4:45 in the interview) says Tesla would've been better off taking the resources it expended toward that Model S upgrade and directed them towards speeding up the development of a more affordable plug-in. Perhaps a number of investors agreed, since the company's stock fell the day after the D was announced. Posawatz says Tesla has been over-reliant on the sale of ZEV credits. Posawatz also says that Tesla has been over-reliant on the sale of zero-emissions vehicle credits in California for its earnings and questions whether the automaker will ever work at a large enough scale to sufficiently drive down costs and make consistent profits. Tesla CEO Elon Musk would take issue with this characterization. Posawatz first made his mark in the plug-in vehicle world when he was the vehicle-line director at General Motors for the Volt extended-range plug-in from 2006 to 2012. Later that year, he joined extended-range plug-in maker Fisker Automotive as its CEO, though quit that job during the summer of 2013 as the company was descending into insolvency. He joined the Electrification Coalition this past March. News Source: Benzinga Green Chevrolet Fisker Tesla Electric PHEV Tony Posawatz
