Very Sharp 1966 Corvair Monza Convertible With Power Top on 2040-cars
1966 140 hp CORVAIR MONZA CONVERTIBLE Up for your consideration is this very nice 1966 Corvair Monza Convertible VIN # 105676W123943. This Corvair is equipped with GM’s rear mount horizontally opposed 140hp 6cyl motor mated to an automatic 2 speed transmission. The paint color is Willow Green with a Black interior and Black Power convertible top. It is a great little drivers car that has an older paint job that’s still in nice condition but does show its age a bit with a few touched up spots here and there and a few bubbles starting to show on the rockers. The floors and trunk pan are both solid, the interior is very nice and the car only has 58K original miles. This was a one family owned Corvair that was purchased new by an older gentleman and then passed down to his granddaughter. The car runs and drives extremely well and does not pull or wander. There is a pretty large folder full of documentation including the original Protecto Plate. The only real options to mention are the 3 Bar Wire wheel covers, the 140hp motor and the power top option. A few new items includes the fuel pump, mufflers, distributor, spark plugs and battery.

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th
Tue, 15 Apr 2014It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.
This is your 2014 Chevrolet SS
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Think you've waited long enough for this? If so, then you'll want to savor the high-res photos we've so far been given of the 2014 Chevrolet SS, the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from The Bowtie in 17 years.
We all know its our version of the brand new VF-model Holden Commodore, but what's under the hood that earns the appellation "performance?" A 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine producing 415 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. That's 35 hp and lb-ft less than the same engine is expected to produce in the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. Chevrolet says the sedan will get from 0-to-60 miles per hour "in about five seconds."
Shifting comes courtesy of a six-speed automatic with paddles on the steering wheel, while stopping arrive via four-piston Brembo calipers up front, a single sliding piston in back. The forged aluminum wheels are 19-inchers all around, each set supporting right around 50 percent of the sedan's weight, and the aluminum hood and trunk are meant to keep the center of gravity low.
