I bought this 1963 Corvair when I was on military duty in the Missouri back in 1990. I was at the US Army Engineer Officer School at Ft. Leonard Wood and saw this car for sale right outside the gate. I bought it from an older gentleman named Shelby.

Well I liked the way the car looked and there really wasn't much to do at Ft. Leonard wood after our courses were finished for the day, so I bought this car and began to drive it around post. I brought it to the auto club/shop and worked on tuning her up just right and waxed and washed her often. Well when duty was over at EOBC I had a friend fly out to MO from NY and we drove it back across country upon my graduation. I had aviator shades, we had a boom box in the back, and my friend got a pretty bad sunburn on that trip, but we were young and had the time of our lives in that car on that trip.

Unfortunately, that was really the end of my use of the is beauty. I got to drive my Dad in it once, and then it just sat for years in my driveway. I got busy with life, had a family, some point along the way got deployed to the middle east, survived that, and now I'm a middle aged guy.

I have wrestled with the idea of fixing her up again to give my son, but I own a few businesses now, and I really don't have the time to restore her.

It was beautiful when I first bought it but she all those years then about a couple of years ago when I towed it to a garage to get the mechanicals back up and running. I spent about 3 grand to get her running again and then it sat again for a couple of years.

It's time to cut her loose for someone to restore the splendor back into this car.

I believe I'm the second owner, although not sure.

She started up fine after I got her back from the garage, but as mentioned I let her sit again. I went out there last week to put a chargepack on the car, and the ignition turned the electrics on, but she didn't crank. This cars electrics and systems are so simple, it's probably a simple fix.

She has quite a bit of surface rust, but I took an automotive sander to one corner of her, and was happy to see that she would sand down to nice shiny metal. The floorboards will definitely need replacing and same with interior.

Make no mistake about this car, it is definitely a project car and I'm selling it "as-is", but I also think that with a bit of "can-do" attitude, and some time this car will make a nice restoration. Hell, if you do a good job, contact me, I might even buy it back from you!

But for now, she does have to go, I bought another muscle car, that I'm anxious to actually drive around in , but wifey wants this one gone now. So help a retired US Army Officer and bid away on this symbol of Americana (but only bid if you are prepared to take on a project or use her ...dare I say this, for parts...).

She has a clean title from Missouri. Not sure of mileage on vehicle, but I certainly didnt drive it that much and I seem to think it's in the mid 50's.

According to this a VIN Checker she was manufactured in Willow Run , MI.

GM cutting production at two plants

Thu, Feb 26 2015

General Motors is continuing to adjust to excess supply of some of its brands' models. To get production more in line with the vehicles' actual demand, the automotive giant is idling two of its factories in North America in the coming months. The Orion Assembly plant is going to be down from March 9-13, according to an anonymous plant worker and another insider speaking to Automotive News. The factory builds the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, but there are plenty of both models sitting on dealer lots, including 216 days worth of Sonics, according to AN. The factory already had two idle periods announced to reduce the excess. In addition, downtime is scheduled at GM's "Flex" line at the Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, plant from April 13-17. This affects supply of the Chevrolet Camaro, Impala, Buick Regal and Cadillac XTS. Among them, the automotive giant has the largest supply of Regals ready for dealers with 213 days worth of them, according to AN. The future for the whole Oshawa factory is cloudy in general, though. There are rumors that it could close entirely in the future because the Camaro is leaving and the Regal and XTS might not last much longer than 2017. The Canadian government and the labor union there intend to put up a fight, though.

Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.
