Custom 62 Chevrolet Corvair Van on 2040-cars
Pasadena, California, United States
|
I am selling my 62 Corvair camper van. I really love it but need to buy a truck for my new job. It is really unique. It has a 64 110 van engine with a 4 speed transmission. It was a panel van that was converted by a Corvair enthusiast and rocket scientist. He designed the interior space, eliminated the stock air vents and cut holes for the air intake. He had scoops on them that have since broken. Has no overheating problems. It has an awesome retro interior and the paint is ok. The side doors have windows that roll down which was only available on the Greenbriers, but was added during the restoration. Has a repair on the driver side rear quarter and a dent on the driver door area shown in pic. Since I bought it I have gone through all of the mechanics and had a Corvair mechanic do all the work. In the last 1000 miles I have replaced the steering box, done a full tune up, replaced the distributor, installed new carbs rebuilt by Wolfe industries, of course had the oil changed with racing oil that contains zinc, I installed brand new tires, and replaced the throttle cable. Before I got it all the brakes were replaced or gone through and the generator was replaced with an alternator. I have driven it all over. Just last month I drove it over 200 miles in a day. It will eventually need a clutch. I have already purchased the parts, also there is an oil leak. I also had dual exhaust with glass packs professionally built and installed. All it really needs is the front seats recovered and some body work and paint if you want. Can be driven as is and is lots of fun. Give me a call with any questions thanks 626 710 7534

New Bright creating exclusive 1:8 scale radio-controlled C7 Corvette
Mon, 04 Feb 2013If you want a new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette but can't quite save up enough pennies for the monthly payment, we have good news for you. Toymaker New Bright has pulled the covers off of its 1:8 scale remote-controlled version of the American sports car. Complete with a very detailed interior and LED headlights, this large-scale R/C is as close as most of us will ever come to having one of the menacing Chevrolet models to call our very own. New Bright still hasn't released pricing or availability, but word has it the coupe should hit the market soon.
Right now, it appears as if the C7 will hit shelves in Torch Red, though we don't know if other colors are planned as well. The good news is that New Bright isn't exactly turning its back on the old C6 - representatives say the company will continue to make its popular C6R racecar for those who prefer round taillights.
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
