For sale to settle an estate is a very rare, 1961 Chevrolet Corvair 95 Rampside pickup truck aka "FC" (Forward Control)-Flat 6 cylinder /4 speed manual /145 CID).  This vehicle is very well known to all of the Detroit Area Air Coolers and was noted last week by the DAAC Founder and fellow Corvair expert as “Not perfect, but she’s the nicest one you will find.  If you want one better, head on over to Jay Leno’s Garage and plan on spending 50K”.  This Rampside has earned many accolades including a wall full of trophies, countless wins at local shows and, as you see from one of the pictures, was a feature vehicle at the Sloan Museum 100th Anniversary Show from May through September 2011.   Mom & Dad have owned and loved this truck since 1992 and the truck was the subject of a bottom to top renovation.  Since then, it has only seen 2 things, sunshine and dry roads or the soft side of a custom-fit cover (included) while parked in the garage.  It is not a rust free vehicle, but is clean, clean, clean as you can see from the pictures and you can listen to the video to hear it run.  The engine starts every time and the transmission shifts grind-free with confidence from 1st through 4th.  The tires are like new (see pictures) and the battery is new as well.  She starts every time, RUNS GREAT, LOOKS GREAT so the bottom line is, this Rampside is Parade Ready!!!    As for things that need some attention, the passenger door requires higher than normal effort to shut, but will close and lock properly and maybe I am picky but it closes every time.  I could be spoiled by the driver’s door, ramside, and tail gate which all function flawlessly with fingertip efforts!  The horn does not work.  The choke seems hard to pull, but is not required even on a cool Michigan morning.  The transmission is generating a few drops of fluid per day.  This vehicle is for sale locally as well and the seller reserves the right to remove this vehicle from eBay Motors at any time.


WARNING:  Do not buy this vehicle unless you like to have pleasant conversations and receive compliments at every stoplight, every restaurant, every gas station, corner store, car show, or basically anywhere there are other folks around.

Consumer Reports declares most and least loved cars [w/video]

Wed, Dec 3 2014

Consumer Reports is crunching the numbers from its annual owner-satisfaction survey, and part of that process is finding out how attached drivers are to their cars. CR simply asks readers of models up to three years old if they would buy the same vehicle again in light of their entire ownership experience, and tallies the results. After looking at the responses for about 350,000 vehicles, it turns out that people really love a certain California-built, electrically powered luxury sedan. That's right, this year's the overall winner was the Tesla Model S with a whopping 98 percent of owners saying they would purchase another one (the Model S also won this award last year, with 99 percent satisfaction). The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray came in a close second with 95 percent of drivers hoping to park another one in their garage. A few models weren't quite so favored, though. The Nissan Versa Sedan was the least loved model among its owners; a mere 42 percent said that they would purchase another. The aging Jeep Compass didn't do much better, with just 43 percent of drivers willing to buy the softroader again. On average, about 70 percent of owners say they would buy their car again, and only four cars ranked below 50 percent in CR's findings. Check out the video above to see some of the winners and losers in a few of CR's categories. If you're a subscriber, you can check out the full list on its website.

GM might outsource vans to AM General

Thu, Nov 26 2015

General Motors will possibly boost production of the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon at the Wentzville Assembly Plant in Missouri by contracting out some commercial van manufacturing to AM General. Demand for the two midsize trucks continues to boom, and GM would like to take advantage of the strong market for them. The possible deal came to light in a letter to workers at the factory, according to Automotive News. "This potential partnership would free up production capacity and allow the organization to capitalize on our ability to build midsize trucks to further satisfy customer demand," a portion of the document allegedly said. AM General would reportedly only take over assembly of the cutaway versions of the Chevy Express and GMC Savana. Customers and critics have quickly embraced the latest Colorado and Canyon since their introduction. The Chevy just won back-to-back Motor Trend Truck of the Year awards. GM also had to add a third shift and extra workers in 2014 just to keep up with demand. The Wentzville plant even increased employment on the weekends earlier in 2015 to assemble an extra 2,000 of the trucks each month. While the two pickups boom, deliveries for the Chevy Express and GMC Savana are down 26.9 percent and 26.6 percent respectively through the first 10 months of the year. GM doesn't break out numbers for the cutaway versions, but they make up about a third of production, according to Automotive News. AM General built the Humvee for the US military and does some contract work with automakers. For example, the company's Indiana factory now produces the Mercedes-Benz R-Class for export to China. Here's hoping this potential deal will help both GM and AM General keep their factories humming. Related Video:
