1960 Chevrolet Corvair 500 Sedan on 2040-cars
US $3,200.00
Year:1960
Mileage:999999
Location:
United States
|
For Sale: 1960 Corvair 500 Sedan. 80 hp flat 6 air cooled engine with 3 speed manual trans. Included with the car is all of the stainless trim from a 700 sedan along with a container of new parts to include complete engine reseal gaskets, new lenses for the front turn signals and NOS parts for the rears and some interior parts etc... The front floors have rust but I undercoated them to seal the cabin and installed a new carpet from Clarks Corvair Parts (my new parts source). The carpet install needs to be completed (sill panels) and the new kick panels installed. I changed out the steering wheel for a period correct 60's hot rod wheel and had new door panels made in metallic vinyl by J&T 'Vairs in Des Moines Iowa. The front seat bottom was stripped and poly foam installed. Not "correct" but comfortable. (check out the seat covers and hula girl) I was going for a 70's era surf car theme. Car runs and drives great but I would suggest resealing the pushrod tubes etc to correct an oil leak and going through the wheel cylinders to get the brakes working better. I ran the gas out of the car so the ethanol wouldn't phase separate and cause corrosion in the fuel system. When we got the car it was set up with tow bar mounts and a new towbar is included for transport. The car has been garaged since I've had it and is currently in my shop in Burton for inspection. The paint was redone some years ago and has a few primer spots but overall the car is in superb shape for its age (albeit the front floors as mentioned)
The car includes NOS front mats I bought for $150.00 (usually over $300.00) and is equipped with the optional gas heater which also comes with a new exhaust pipe. The trunk area is virtually perfect for a 54 year old car and has the proper stock rubber trunk floor covering (very rare to find in this condition) I also am including some NOS Chinook helicopter seatbelts with the car (old school style racing belts) There are more new/used parts included but without doing an inventory this will have to do for now. I do have a new/used speedometer as well. The old one is working fine but has some surface rust on the scale area. The factory AM radio works fine but could use a new speaker. The grill bar on the front is an NOS replacement. The original is included in the parts stash.... Under the dash is a switch box to put the car in being towed mode and there is a jack in the trunk area and a cable to hook to the tow vehicle included. Spare tire, Lugwrench and Jack in excellent condtion as well. I have 2 other Corvairs and this one is just sitting so I'm putting it up for sale to fix up the others. There is a myriad of forums and information available online. (Clear title in my name for immediate transfer. Car is currently insured/tagged and includes a new towbar to move it. Will need gas and maintenance as stated above to be road ready. I would not rate this as a "project" btw, far too nice for a 54 year old car!!!) If you want a cool collector car for a cheap price or have an old school teenager at home this is the perfect driver quality vintage car!!! the roofline is very low with regard to other cars. This is one cool old school sled!!! I do not recall the mileage as the car is in storage at my shop but believe it to be under 100k. Car is all original except for the items I added (door panels/steering wheel etc) Email for bigger pics or text to 843 two five two 6005. My name is Mike |

Opel pulls out of Russia, GM to focus on Cadillac, 'iconic' Chevys
Wed, Mar 18 2015General Motors is going to realign its priorities in the struggling Russian marketplace, withdrawing its Opel brand and pulling out mainstream Chevrolet models. Instead, the General will take aim at Russia's well-established oligarchy, pushing Cadillac as well as "iconic" Chevrolet models, like the Corvette, Camaro and Tahoe. "This change in our business model in Russia is part of our global strategy to ensure long-term sustainability in markets where we operate," GM president Dan Ammann said in a statement. "This decision avoids significant investment into a market that has very challenging long-term prospects." Russian customers interested in an Opel or mainstream Chevys like the Spark, Aveo (the US market Sonic), Cobalt (shown above), Cruze, Orlando and the like have until December to snap up a car before the brands are pulled. "We do not have the appropriate localization level for important vehicles built in Russia and the market environment does not justify a major investment to further localize." Opel Group CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann said. GM will continue to offer service to customers in Russia. "We can assure our customers that we will continue to provide warranty, parts and services for their Chevrolet and Opel vehicles," Neumann said. Beyond realigning its brands in Russia, GM also announced that it would also be idling the company's factory in the country's second-largest city, St. Petersburg. This is the second time the St. Petersburg factory has been in the news – GM announced that it'd be idled for roughly two months back in February. Scroll down for the official press release from GM. GM to Change Business Model in Russia 2015-03-18 Focus on Cadillac and iconic Chevrolet vehicles Wind down Opel brand and sale of mainstream Chevrolet cars Idle GM Auto manufacturing facility in St. Petersburg Part of GM's strategy to ensure long-term sustainability in global markets DETROIT – General Motors today announced plans to change its business model in Russia. GM will focus on the premium segment of the Russian market with Cadillac and U.S.-built iconic Chevrolet products such as the Corvette, Camaro and Tahoe. The Chevrolet brand will minimize its presence in Russia and the Opel brand will leave the market by December 2015. "This change in our business model in Russia is part of our global strategy to ensure long-term sustainability in markets where we operate," said GM President Dan Ammann.
Which electric cars can charge at a Tesla Supercharger?
Sun, Jul 9 2023The difference between Tesla charging and non-Tesla charging. Electrify America; Tesla Tesla's advantage has long been its charging technology and Supercharger network. Now, more and more automakers are switching to Tesla's charging tech. But there are a few things non-Tesla drivers need to know about charging at a Tesla station. A lot has hit the news cycle in recent months with regard to electric car drivers and where they can and can't plug in. The key factor in all of that? Whether automakers switched to Tesla's charging standard. More car companies are shifting to Tesla's charging tech in the hopes of boosting their customers' confidence in going electric. Here's what it boils down to: If you currently drive a Tesla, you can keep charging at Tesla charging locations, which use the company's North American Charging Standard (NACS), which has long served it well. The chargers are thinner, more lightweight and easier to wrangle than other brands. If you currently drive a non-Tesla EV, you have to charge at a non-Tesla charging station like that of Electrify America or EVgo — which use the Combined Charging System (CCS) — unless you stumble upon a Tesla charger already equipped with the Magic Dock adapter. For years, CCS tech dominated EVs from everyone but Tesla. Starting next year, if you drive a non-Tesla EV (from the automakers that have announced they'll make the switch), you'll be able to charge at all Supercharger locations with an adapter. And by 2025, EVs from some automakers won't even need an adaptor. Here's how to charge up, depending on which EV you have: Ford 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E. Tim Levin/Insider Ford was the earliest traditional automaker to team up with Tesla for its charging tech. Current Ford EV owners — those driving a Ford electric vehicle already fitted with a CCS port — will be able to use a Tesla-developed adapter to access Tesla Superchargers starting in the spring. That means that, if you own a Mustang Mach-E or Ford F-150 Lightning, you will need the adapter in order to use a Tesla station come 2024. But Ford will equip its future EVs with the NACS port starting in 2025 — eliminating the need for any adapter. Owners of new Ford EVs will be able to pull into a Supercharger station and juice up, no problem. General Motors Cadillac Lyriq. Cadillac GM will also allow its EV drivers to plug into Tesla stations.
GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue
Wed, 14 Nov 2012General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.
