1960 Chevrolet Corvair 500 Sedan on 2040-cars
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 |

The 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan is for drivers who value performance above all else
Sat, 16 Feb 2013The car you see above is the 2014 Chevrolet SS, and it's important both because it is the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from Chevy in 17 years, and because it will be the nameplate the brand uses on NASCAR tracks all across the country starting this year.
Though it wears a name as American as baseball and apple pie, the machine was actually designed and built in Australia, sharing most of its parts with the brand-new VF-model Holden Commodore. That said, the basic chassis bits are shared with other Chevrolet models like the Camaro and Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle.
While Chevrolet is happy to sell a Malibu or Impala to anyone looking for a mainstream family sedan, but the SS is reserved for buyers interested first and foremost in performance. Most sedans sold these days are front-wheel drive, which is great for everyday driving and when the weather goes bad, but the SS is instead a rear-wheel-drive vehicle aimed at enthusiasts who love to drive and who prefer speed and performance above all else.

Fri, 15 Mar 2013Can A Fleet Queen Become a Fullsize King?
On paper, the Chevrolet Impala is a pretty strong seller, posting annual sales that have hovered right around 170,000 units for the last two years, but it only takes one trip to practically any rental car agency to discover where the majority of those sales have come from. In fact, General Motors told Autoblog that a full 70 percent of Impala sales last year went to fleet companies for things like rental cars and government vehicles. Logic tells us that this is neither good for resale values nor name equity, so Chevrolet is getting ready to roll out an all-new Impala with improved comfort, styling and technology, hoping to turn the tables on its retail-to-fleet ratio.
Chevrolet's sedans have come on quite strong in the last few months with the introduction of the Cruze diesel and the SS sedan, but while these will likely be low-volume sellers, there's more pressure for the new Impala to perform well as GM looks to slash fleet sales and compete with the wide variety of full-size sub-luxury sedans. Riding on a platform shared with the Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac XTS, the 2014 Impala will compete against the Hyundai Azera, Ford Taurus and Toyota Avalon on the more traditional side, while also looking to take a bite out of somewhat sportier models like the Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger twins and the Nissan Maxima. We headed to sunny San Diego to see if this totally new Impala can stand on its own without the assistance of fleet companies and rental agencies. [w/video

Sat, Sep 29 2018BEIJING (Reuters) - General Motors' joint venture in China, Shanghai GM, will recall more than 3.3 million Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac vehicles stating Oct. 20 because of a defect with the suspension system, China's market regulator said on Saturday.

The recall includes cars produced between 2013 and 2018, the State Administration for Market Regulation said in a statement. GM will contact those affected and repair the vehicles free of charge, it said.
