Presented here is a beautiful 1964 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Convertible in Silver Blue. Comprehensively restored for several years and completed about two years ago, this 1964 Corvair was rebuilt as a top notch, frame-off build with no corners cut. The gorgeous Silver Blue finish is brilliant and glossy. The bodywork was expertly restored and refinished, showing no signs of age and minimal evidence of use since it was completed. Paint quality is impressive, more so than photos can show. Panel fit is excellent, and all of the chrome was redone and remains in first-class condition.

The shiny white interior is as fresh as the bodywork and a testament to how clean and well-maintained the car has been cared for. Everything was replaced when the work was done, including seat covers, carpets, and door panels, with all of it using correct materials and patterns. The gauges are fully functional and original, and so is the AM stereo radio. The white canvas convertible top is brand new and the rear plastic window is without any fade whatsoever. The front trunk has been fully carpeted, including a custom cover for the spare tire.

Under the rear hood is a 164 cubic inch, air-cooled 4-cylinder, four-carburetor engine that is completely trouble-free. The engine reliably starts every single time, even when cold. The transmission is a 4-speed manual, and it shifts well and has good strong, acceleration. No smoke of any color from the exhaust. Brakes are straight and true, with all new brake components in all four wheels.

It starts and runs beautifully, the interior is big and comfortable, and all components are brand new. This Corvair was a no-expenses-spared restoration by someone that did it "for the memories" of their youth, and now must regrettably be sold. If you're looking for a Corvair with all components brand new, ready to shine every time it is driven, and restored to last another couple of decades, look no further.

Sunday Drive: From a mid-engine 'Vette to a restomod RV

Sun, Jan 7 2018

Automotive enthusiasts are a diverse bunch. As proof, we present last week's top posts on Autoblog, starting with some really good spy photos of the upcoming mid-engine Chevrolet Corvette. Will it be sold alongside a classic front-engine 'Vette? We have no idea, but we can't wait to find out. Up next is a pickup truck. Can't get much further from a supercar, right? At least both the Corvette and the 2019 Ram 1500 – which will debut a radical new design that appears to eschew the mini big-rig look of past Rams in favor of something more refined – are both American. Decidedly not American? The Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV. The boxy off-road 'ute looks a heck of a lot like the old one, which is probably a good thing, but we know it'll be fancier and more luxurious than ever before. Check out the leaked images below. Also hailing from Germany, but sharing absolutely nothing else in common at all, is the Audi A4 Allroad. We've been driving this all-wheel-drive wagon for a while now, and we like it quite a bit. And, last but not least, is a 1959 bus that's been converted into an RV. Like we said, y'all certainly are a diverse bunch.

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.

Corvette Stolen In Detroit Returned To Owner After 33 Years

Wed, Jun 25 2014

A Detroit man had his stolen Corvette returned 33 years after it disappeared while parked on one of Detroit's main drags, according to ABC 7. The last time George Talley saw his 1979 Corvette was on a July day in 1981, when it disappeared from its parking spot on Jefferson Avenue in Detroit. He had given up hope of ever seeing his car again, until a phone call from AAA brought his sporty ride home. Authorities had come across a Corvette with a questionable VIN in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. When they ran the number Talley's stolen car report came up. The car is still in pretty good shape and only has 47,000 miles on the odometer. Talley wasn't sure how he could get the car back home, but General Motors stepped in and agreed to cover the cost of bringing the 'Vette home. Talley has always had a passion for Detroit-made muscle cars. "I've always liked Corvettes. It was attractive. The ladies like 'em," Talley told ABC 7.
