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

EcoCar3 will convert Camaro to bitchin' eco rides
Sat, Apr 26 2014In the 47-year-history of the Chevrolet Camaro, there have been countless college-age kids spending a ton of time getting under the hood and souping 'em up. Now, General Motors is adding a twist to the concept by donating 16 Camaros for the EcoCar challenge that puts university teams together to wring out better fuel-efficiency out of various vehicles. No word on whether there will be donuts on anyone's lawn, as suggested by 80's punks the Dead Milkmen, but the idea's never a bad one. EcoCar3 will feature 16 teams such as Arizona State, Penn State, Ontario's University of Waterloo and, of course, Detroit's Wayne State University. They'll spend the next four years "[reducing] environmental impact, while maintaining the muscle and performance expected from this iconic American car," as the EcoCar organizers say. The goal is to maintain body design and safety standards while boosting efficiency and lowering emissions, but the actual process is far more complicated than that description suggests. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and Bosch are among the sponsors of the contest, which is also put on by the US Department of Energy and managed by Argonne National Laboratory. Penn State won Year Two of the three-year EcoCar 2 competition with its E85 plug-in hybrid electric vehicle converted out of a Chevy Malibu. The grand-prize winner of EcoCar2 will be announced in June. Check out the EcoCar3 website and see the announcement video below for more details. This content is hosted by a third party.

Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]
Sun, 03 Feb 2013The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
