The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"1962 Corvair Greenbrier. Same owner last 27 years. Driven three times weekly until 10 years ago, then once a week until 7 years ago (when gas tank was removed for cleaning).Garage stored most of ownership, all of last 10 years. Typical FC wheel well rust, passenger side floor pan needs to be replaced. Remainder of passenger compartment has minimal surface rust. Original 1962 rubber floor mats now covered by front to rear black carpeting. Middle seat can face front or back. Body is in excellent shape,(some bondo work done when I bought it on right rear corner) chrome bumpers front and rear, all glass present and intact (needs fuzzies). 110 engine (non-original) with stock 4-speed transmission. Hasn't been started in last 7 years, but turns easily by hand/belt. All six doors open and close securely (need weatherstripping). This is a worthwhile restoration project, or with just a bit of work, reliable daily driver."

I have owned this 'Brier for 27 years, drove it approximately 3 times per week until ten years ago when I closed my business, then once a week until seven years ago when it was pretty much put into storage. Excellent body with some minor exceptions-fantastic for a vehicle of its age, over 50 years now. It has original four speed transmission, all original glass with no cracks, interior was redone some years ago but looks virtually new. 

Vehicle hasn't been run in past seven years since gas tank was removed for cleaning (then lost my job and moved a couple of times-van was always garage stored) but engine turns easily by hand or using the fan belt. 
Cons: will need passenger side floor replaced, a little work on driver's side, only other rust through on interior is a small (less than 1") hole about halfway back at edge of passenger compartment on driver's side. Typical FC wheel well rust, some minor rock ding rust on front. Brakes have lost pressure probably due to rotted rubber lines. Needs new headliner, dash should be repainted. Van will need weatherstripping and fuzzies. Since it is non-running, it will need to be trailered.
Pros: This vehicle is original right down to front and center rubber floor mats (now covered by front to rear carpeting I had made for vehicle. Interior alone is worth the cost of the low reserve . Garage stored most of ownership, all of last 10 years. Middle seat can face front or back. Chrome bumpers front and rear. Both padded visors and tire cover match interior vinyl.
This is an excellent restoration project, or with just a bit of work, a reliable daily driver.

More Corvette Stingray Factoids: Vanishing panel gaps and 26-mpg LT1

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both are enthralled by what they're doing for a day job. So are we.
We've followed the pre-sale anticipation for the Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray like an Oreck vacuum yanking every speck of dirt from a well-trampled carpet. Everything is reportable and contains a grain of further knowledge about this dramatically important and cheered-for car, as it continues to be pressured into representing all that is superior about the American dream. The Corvette wears one heavy cloak.
So, most of what was talked about has been expertly reported already right here on Autoblog. But, looking through our notes again, both Jeuchter and Lee added facts to the buzzing mix.

GMC Hummer EV SUV first drive, RIP Camaro, Ferrari Roma Spider | Autoblog Podcast # 773

Fri, Mar 24 2023

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by News Editor Joel Stocksdale. They start off with one of the week's biggest official news items — the impending death of the sixth-gen Chevrolet Camaro. On the subject of powerful American cars, they pivot to a teaser from Stellantis execs that there are big things ahead for its Dodge Charger SRT Daytona Banshee concept. From there, they look at Ferrari's new topless Roma and then get into Ford's multi-billion-dollar electric vehicle pivot. Speaking of expensive EVs, Joel just got back from driving the new GMC Hummer SUV. He also had the new F-150 Lightning Pro in his driveway, and that's followed by Greg's update on Autoblog's long-term Toyota Sienna.  Autoblog Podcast # 773 Get The Podcast Apple Podcasts – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast in iTunes Spotify – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast on Spotify RSS – Add the Autoblog Podcast feed to your RSS aggregator MP3 – Download the MP3 directly Rundown News Chevrolet Camaro production will officially end after 2024 model year Dodge CEO teases more to come from Charger SRT Daytona Banshee Ferrari Roma Spider returns a front-engined soft top to the lineup Ford Model e losing billions as it says EV unit should be seen as startup What we're driving Ford F-150 Lightning Pro 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV 2023 Toyota Sienna Platinum AWD Feedback Email – Podcast@Autoblog.com Review the show on Apple Podcasts Autoblog is now live on your smart speakers and voice assistants with the audio Autoblog Daily Digest.

Autoblog fan favorite car ads from Super Bowl XLIX

Mon, Feb 2 2015

Super Bowl XLIX is in the books, and the New England Patriots emerged victorious. Of course, if you're like us, the big game wasn't so much about the battle between the east coast and west, so much as a fight between the world's automotive advertisers. We collected and collated all of last night's new ads and put them together for you to vote on. And yes, we're limiting this year's contest to last night's new features. That's why you aren't seeing Dodge's epic Wisdom among our collection of commercials, and it's a similar story with Chevrolet's Truck Guy Focus Group series, which highlights the new Colorado. You can still vote for your favorites. We won't be closing the voting on our Super Bowl page, so while the winners and losers are correct as of this writing, it's entirely possible that there could be some changes in the rankings as time goes on. So, without any further ado, here are the winning ads based on your voting. Nissan: With Dad Fiat: Ready For Action Jeep: Beautiful Lands BMW: Newfangled Idea Mercedes-Benz: Fable NASCAR: America Start Your Engines As for those ads that failed to impact you, loyal readers, Toyota was the absolute, undisputed loser. The Japanese brand ran four ads in total – two for Toyota and two for Lexus – and all of them have negative tallies as of this writing. Lexus' Make Some Noise and Lets Play and Toyota's One Bold Choice and My Bold Dad both had very weak showings among the commercials that aired, although they weren't alone. Neither Mazda nor Kia scored particularly well, despite featuring celebrity magic act Penn and Teller and former James Bond, Pierce Brosnan, respectively. Chevrolet was the winner of the losers, as of our writing, recording the fewest downvotes for its audience-punking The Big Game ad. If you want to take a second look at the losing ads, you can head back to our Super Bowl page for the complete collection. But for now, head into Comments and let us know what you think of the results.
