Low Miles 1967 Chevrolet Corvair 4-spd Coupe on 2040-cars
Santa Rosa, California, United States
|
While there is always a 1965-66 model Corvair for sale, finding the later years from 1967-69 is difficult. That is because starting in 67, Chevrolet had decided to end production. The 67 model had only 10,000 made, by 69, only 500 or so were made. My 67 is a solid daily driver near show quality in most aspects. No rust issues. Solid. The odometer reads 55,000. I believe it because of how it drives. The engine is strong, no oil leaks. The tranny shifts very smooth. I bought it three years ago from a person in Colorado, who got it from his elderly friend who could no longer drive and parked it. Some work has been done on it because it does have electronic ignition, Petronix. I installed new O-rings and the oil leak ended. I replaced the shocks, but not bushings. The tires have plenty of tread and the brakes were redone. A new muffler was installed, took off the carbs and cleaned them and replaced worn parts. The radio works, but the heater is not hooked up. Lights and blinkers work, as do the wipers. Fuel gauge works, windows roll up and down, plugs and oil changed. A new starter was also installed. That said, I drive the car less than 600 miles a year but drive it a few times a week for a few miles. I will include all of the official Chevy shop manuals and some other Corvair books. The manuals are needed for DIY repairs.
The only thing you need to do is to replace the foam and vinyl on the two bucket seats, a minimum. Total cost was estimated at $600, if you did yourself (not hard at all once you buy the kit from Clark's Corvair online). The rear seat is still intact but fragile. The car was painted three years ago and still in good shape. The seats are functional now with seat covers. Buyers are responsible for shipping, which will be between $600-1200 on average, depending where you live. If you decide to buy and we agree on the sell, money can be transferred directly from your bank to mine or a Cashiers check, no money order. While I believe the car is original miles, it is hard to tell. All I can say is that if it turned over, the engine and tranny must have been rebuilt because there are no compression issues at all, it runs like a new car. Some of the bushings could be replaced fro a softer ride. If interested, I can send you audio files or short videos also. This is a coupe, 4-spd. I have owned automatic Corvairs and can tell you that manual tranny is the only way to go because of carburetor synchronization issues at idle. I was so glad to find a manual tranny and have had no problems with this car. You can ask questions directly: email- perrya@jps.net. |

Corvette Z06 and Viper TA square off at the strip
Wed, Jan 21 2015There are many long-standing grudge matches among automobiles: 911 vs GT-R, Mustang vs Camaro, Ferrari vs Lamborghini... but as far as high-end American metal goes, it doesn't get much more legendary than Viper vs 'Vette. So after Chevy released the new Corvette Z06, we knew it was only a matter of time before it would have to square off against the Viper TA. And what better place to pit these two parallel pillars of American performance than on the drag strip? Fortunately that's just what we have here. In one corner, the 2014 Dodge Viper TA, with its 8.4-liter V10 pumping out 640 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque. In the other, the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, the supercharger on its 6.2-liter V8 more than making up for the discrepancy in displacement and cylinder count to produce 650 hp and just as much torque. But numbers don't tell the whole story, so watch the video clip to see which reaches the end of the quarter-mile first.

2015 Chevy Impala Bi-fuel burns CNG, starts at $37,385*
Tue, May 6 2014Currently, the only natural-gas-powered passenger car offered for sale by an OEM in the US is the Honda Civic Natural Gas. Starting this fall, that long-running CNG car will be joined by a CNG-burning 2015 Chevy Impala for both fleet and retail customers. General Motors announced today that the car will start at $37,385, plus an $825 destination charge. That comes to $38,210 before taxes and options. Those options include two trim lines, the base LS and the upper-level LT. Chevy doesn't break out the details in the press release announcing the price, but you can see the trim details for the standard gas-powered 2014 Impala here. Exact information on the 2015 models is not available just yet, but GM spokesman Chad Lyons told AutoblogGreen that the equipment that you see listed on the site for 2014 is "almost exactly the same" as what will be available for 2015. The 2015 Impala gets around 19 city mpg on CNG, but official EPA numbers are not yet available. That means the LS will come with 18-inch aluminum wheels, electric variable-assist power steering, projector-beam headlamps, and 10 air bags. The LT adds an eight-inch touch screen with MyLink, premium Cloth interior and dual-zone automatic climate controls. The cost for this upgrade is unspecified. For CNG purposes, we can ignore the numerical prefix used for the gas-powered LT trims, since that denominates the engine type, and all the CNG models use a 3.6-liter engine with hardened valves and valve seats that can better handle natural gas. The trunk capacity also drops from 18.8 cubic feet to 10 cu .ft. in order to fit in the CNG tank that holds the equivalent of 7.8 gallons of gas. That amount of CNG should move you 150 city miles, which is around 19 mpg, but official EPA numbers are not yet available. With the addition of the gasoline on board, the overall range is 500 city miles. The car burns CNG when available and switches to gas with "no interruption" either when the tank is empty or when the driver selects the gas tank. Find more details in the press release below. GM says the CNG Impala will will be available nationwide this fall. CNG is a growing fuel in the US, thanks in part to fracking. The Civic Natural Gas, which starts at $26,640, is growing towards a nationwide availability. Next year, for example, the Shell Eco-marathon Americas in Detroit will allow CNG for the first time.

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015
Mon, 25 Feb 2013General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.
