1963 Chevrolet Corvair 2 Door Coupe on 2040-cars
Hopkinsville, Kentucky, United States
|
1963 Chevrolet Corvair Monza 900. 2 door coupe. Paint is good but passenger fender has a dent that has been pulled and is ready for repair, has been painted red to keep from rusting. (picture attached) Hood and Bumper were not effected. Engine and carbs totally rebuilt. This car runs fantastic. All wheel cylinders have been rebuilt and 4 speed transmission has been serviced as well as differential. Car has new tires, gas tank and floor pans. Car also has original FM radio that works and this model has the antenna in the back of the vehicle which is not a very common feature. Car was originally dark blue and has light blue seats that have some tears. Clark's Corvair sells seat covers to convert the seats to black for about $400. Interior has new carpet. Car also needs a headliner but Clark's sells them for $100. Door panels are newer and are black. Glass is all intact and in good shape. Wipers work. Car is from Georgia and the only rust I can see is a bubble on the rear deck lid. The deck lid came off of a 64 spyder and was painted to match when the car was painted. Interior of car has been painted dove gray. I think it will look very good with black seats and a black or white headliner. Dash has no cracks, all lights and signals work. Mechanically the car only needs an emergency brake cable. Since it's a manual transmission I just park it in gear. Odometer works but speedometer started acted funny yesterday on my way home. I believe it's the cable but have not checked it. All the corvair forums say this is a very common occurrence in the 60-64 body model. I will unhook the speedometer as it is making a roaring noise at the moment but that should solve the noise. I have found a 63 speedometer on ebay for as little as $15 so lubing the cable and getting a speedo that works won't be much of an issue. I just bought the car. I like it because it can be gotten in and driven anywhere. The last 2 corvairs I have had were both projects and unable to be driven. This one could be super nice with a little work and none of the work is hard for even a novice to do (except the painting of the fender) I bought it with intentions of keeping it but I am really more fond of the 65-69 body style so I want to sell this one and focus on finding one of those. Reserve is reasonable. I am not in any way pressed to sell it and if I don't get what I need I will have the fender repaired and keep it. This is the perfect opportunity for someone to have an above average example that can be daily driven for not a ton of cash. Car is located in Hopkinsville, Kentucky which is an hour north of Nashville, Tn. I can assist with shipping but the cost will be the responsibility of the buyer. |

New Bright creating exclusive 1:8 scale radio-controlled C7 Corvette
Mon, 04 Feb 2013If you want a new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette but can't quite save up enough pennies for the monthly payment, we have good news for you. Toymaker New Bright has pulled the covers off of its 1:8 scale remote-controlled version of the American sports car. Complete with a very detailed interior and LED headlights, this large-scale R/C is as close as most of us will ever come to having one of the menacing Chevrolet models to call our very own. New Bright still hasn't released pricing or availability, but word has it the coupe should hit the market soon.
Right now, it appears as if the C7 will hit shelves in Torch Red, though we don't know if other colors are planned as well. The good news is that New Bright isn't exactly turning its back on the old C6 - representatives say the company will continue to make its popular C6R racecar for those who prefer round taillights.
Europeans ask Chevy to bring Volt back to Europe
Fri, Aug 14 2015A group of French fans is asking for a jolt of support from General Motors to get the 2016 Chevrolet Volt across the pond. The Association Amperistes et Amis des Vehicules Rechargeables is running a Change.org petition that currently has 383 signatures out of a goal of 500. While the attempt is admirable, it's probably going to take a lot more than several hundred people for the model to make a return to the continent after the poor showing of the Opel Ampera – first-gen Volt's European cousin. The group's major argument for bringing a version of the second-gen Volt to Europe is that consumers need "an intermediate choice between expensive or range-limited pure electric cars and plug-in hybrids with a miserable electric range." Furthermore, such a vehicle would prod the competition to produce similarly efficient electrified models. They also lavish praise on the abilities of the Ampera for its long EV driving range. The supporters aren't entirely kind to GM in the petition, though, and claim the company excluded the original car from marketing efforts there. The Ampera actually enjoyed a strong European launch with more orders than initially expected and briefly topped the best-sellers list among EVs there. It was even named 2012 European Car of the Year. Those halcyon days didn't last long, and by 2014 sales fell off to a trickle. The waning reception caused GM's decision not to introduce a version of the new 2016 Volt there or in Australia. Related Video:
Some 2012-13 Chevy Volts may not have enough battery coolant
Mon, Jun 23 2014The 2012 and 2013 model year Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in vehicle may have a battery glitch caused by low coolant levels. No recall has been issued and General Motors is taking care of the issue at no cost to drivers. Some of the affected Volts may have lower-than-advisable coolant levels because of some pesky air pockets in the car's cooling circuit. When the coolant levels get too low, the charging system for the battery powering the car's onboard generator (i.e. the Rechargeable Energy Storage System, or the RESS) may be shut down, turning one's Volt into a run-of-the-mill gas-powered car, and a pricey one at that. The Car Connection says GM is advising owners of the '12 and '13 Volts to contact their local Chevy dealer for a free fix. GM representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from AutoblogGreen for more details. We believe this is a separate issue than the one that brought 8,000 Volts back to the dealers for a battery coolant fix, what GM called a "voluntary customer satisfaction effort," a few years ago. General Motors sold 23,094 Chevy Volts last year after selling 23,461 Volts in 2012, so that fix-it list may get fairly lengthy. Check out a GM-Volt.com user thread related to this issue here. *UPDATE: Chevrolet spokesman Randy Fox confirmed in an e-mail to AutoblogGreen that the company issued a service bulletin to dealers that they may need to top off coolant levels on certain Volts because of the issue, and that the vehicle will "return to normal charging operation" once that's done.
