For Sale 1961 Corvair 95 Rampside Pickup Truck

Parade Ready

VIN = 1R124S103986

55,900 miles

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 100^th 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 1^st through 4^th. 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.

Hear her RUN!!! http://youtu.be/a1hKpXoJxzQ

First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

This restyled blue 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is wearing manufacturer plates, and it appears to be the same one seen around the internet in various pictures lately. This crash is likely not part of the Chevrolet testing regimen, however. Digital Corvettes forum member gpetry posted the shot with a note: "got this picture e-mailed from a friend in Arizona last week..." No circumstances are given, other than the incident occurred in the thick of a set of curvy roads, and the coupe ping-ponged off a guardrail and into the rock wall. Hopefully everyone involved in the incident walked away.
It may not be a pretty thing to see, a crashed sports car that's not even available for sale yet, but rest easy. Many pre-production cars are used for development and then unceremoniously crushed and scrapped, anyway. If that's the case here, that makes this wrecked 'Vette less of a tragedy and more of a case of exceptional efficiency.

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect

Tue, 17 Aug 2010

2010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee teases return with a Countach

Fri, May 29 2015

Unless you have an intense aversion to Jerry Seinfeld, it's hard not to find something to like about his show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. After all, the series combines funny people telling often hilarious stories while riding in ridiculously cool vehicles. The trailer for the sixth season is now online, and based on this tease, this definitely looks worth watching no matter what part of the videos interest you. Of course, it's the automotive portion that really grabs us, and Seinfeld has quite a fleet to showcase for season six. The trailer shows off a Lamborghini Countach, a '57 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible, a classic Volkswagen Beetle in the green and white German Polizei livery, a Morgan, an Aston Martin DB5, and a Ferrari 308. On the more humorous side of things, the guest list at least includes Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jim Carrey, Steve Harvey, Stephen Colbert, Bill Maher and upcoming host of The Daily Show Trevor Noah. Season six of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee premieres on Crackle on Wednesday, June 3, at 11:30 PM ET.
