This listing is for a 1963 Chevrolet Corvair Monza 900 with a manual transmission. It has a black exterior and a red interior. The car's exterior includes an impressive amount of chrome on pieces such as the front headlights, the back of the side mirror, and the trim along both sides of the car. This car is in amazing condition for being more than 50 years old. The vehicle comes with all analog gauges which can all be viewed in the pictures and videos. The speedometer and gas gauge are responsive and accurate. The odometer also works well (it can be seen turning in the video). Both turn signals in the front of the car work very well. Both headlights and high beams work well also. The lights on the interior dash that blink when the turn signals are on both also work. This vehicle comes with a fully functioning horn. The windshield wipers are new and both of the wiper motors work. The heater in the car blows warm air after a few minutes of warming up. The switches on the dash used to activate things such as the radio, headlights, heater, turn signals, horn, etc work just as they should. All four of the windows in the car work and go up and down as they should. This car also comes with a functioning aftermarket radio system with three speaker fixtures integrated throughout the car. There is one speaker underneath the dash and one on either side of the car in the rear. These speakers produce good sound and can be heard in the video. The headliner in this car has been replaced very recently (unlike many of the Corvairs that I've seen come up for sale). As would be the case with any 50+ year old vehicle, there are a few subtle imperfections in the body (which can be seen in the pictures). The odometer goes up to 99,999 miles and reads 31,355 miles so it may have turned all the way over in the past. The six cylinder engine runs strong and starts up quickly. The four speed manual transmission shifts through all gears smoothly. I just got back from a 50 mile drive through a combination of rolling country roads and a few stretches of interstate. I wouldn't think twice about taking this car across the country. Truly a vintage pleasure to drive.
There is nothing being intentionally hidden about this classic car, as so many people do in ads and auctions. If there is something you should know about the car of which I am aware, it's available to you in the listing. Use the combination of the photos, videos and text for full disclosure, with more emphasis on the photos and videos as the description is clearly not intended to be exhaustive. As eBay says, a single picture is worth a thousand words. eBay strongly recommends the best practice of providing as many photos as possible and letting the photos do the talking, rather than trying to describe in words what can be seen in a photo or trying to recreate in words what already is provided in photos. I have gone far out of my way, unlike many other online sellers, by shooting hundreds and hundreds of photos in just about every imaginable angle for you to analyze. By doing this you don't have to rely on a seller's "interpretation" of characteristics of the car, but instead you can draw your own conclusions from what you see. My goal is that if you use everything I provide to you, you get a more thorough demonstration of the car than if you came to see a car in person. With that being said, I still gave you my impression of the car's characteristics above as material for secondary analysis. If your impression of a picture/video differs from what I've written or said, then your own opinion should govern your conclusion. If you have any questions please message me through the eBay messaging system, which eBay indicates is always the preferred method of communication. I will generally answer within a few hours.

You must read the entire auction description, follow the rules, and study each picture and video fully. Any inspections must occur prior to the auction end. I do not offer a warranty on anything that I sell, ever, as a matter of personal philosophy -- this Chevrolet Corvair is being sold AS-IS with absolutely no warranty of any kind expressed or implied --. Other than what is seen in the videos/pictures, no testing of this car or its mechanical/electrical aspects have been done and there is no implication that something works on it that hasn't been specifically demonstrated to be working in a video or text; you should not assume something works or is present that would have worked or was present when this car was new. For liability avoidance, I must state that all systems have to be professionally safety-checked prior to your use of this car. You get the car as pictured, captured in the videos and described, a clean and clear title, a bill of sale, two keys, and any vehicle records that I have in my possession. By placing a bid on this car, you agree to abide by the transaction rules.
The mainstreaming of safety technologies that began on luxury vehicles will get a big boost from General Motors later this year. The General says it plans to offer 22 driver assistance systems across its product portfolio of 2016 models, starting with the redesigned Chevrolet Malibu - the one that we know will keep tabs on teenagers for the benefit of parents. Pedestrian avoidance will be another of its available options. Instead of kitting the sedan out with numerous and expensive radar arrays, the GM system uses the camera mounted next to the rearview mirror that is already used for the lane-keeping function. New software lets it detect pedestrians, and when it detects a potential collision with one, it can alert the driver and brake autonomously if the driver doesn't react. Eventually, engineers want to give it the ability to do the same with cyclists. Because it uses existing hardware updated with new code, GM says the application costs "a few hundred dollars." GM demonstrated the Front Pedestrian Braking preventing a crash with a dummy pedestrian at speeds up to 15 miles per hour. Automotive News reports that it will reduce the severity of impact up to 40 miles per hour, but "may not be of much use in collisions at higher speeds." That feature will also join the options list of the Cadillac CT6. The press release below has more on GM's driver tech soon on the way.

Safety engineers will develop and test these and other safety technologies for products around the world at GM's new, 52-acre Active Safety Test Area at its Milford Proving Ground near Detroit. The $14 million facility officially opened Friday. "Our comprehensive safety strategy of helping customers before, during and after a crash continues," said Jeff Boyer, vice president of GM Global Vehicle Safety.
Today was a pretty big day for General Motors, debuting the all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra light-duty pickup trucks ahead of their official showcase at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. And now that the dust has settled at GM's big reveal event, we've had a chance to snap dozens of photos of the new pickup pair from every angle. We already told you the important bits earlier today (click here in case you missed it), but let's recap. Under the hood are three new engines - a 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 (you know, a version of the small-block that'll also be found under the hood of the C7 Corvette), all mated to six-speed automatic transmissions. The 2014 model year marks the return of the Z71 off-road package with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and beefier underbody protection. Inside, there's a host of new technology and a greater focus on better quality and refinement. Some of the nitty-gritty specifics (like engine output numbers and fuel economy) have yet to be revealed, and since we haven't driven the finished products yet, it's hard to say how these trucks will fare against rivals like the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150. For now, we can only judge these two books by their covers, and while we do like the designs of the new trucks, we Autoblog staffers are torn on exactly which one looks best.
The Opel Ampera-e isn't expected to set any world records on a quarter-mile drag strip. But when it comes to crossing a major boulevard, though, the European version of the Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicle will more than hold its own, potentially scaring inattentive pedestrians everywhere. According to a 35-second video posted by General Motors' Opel division, at least. Opel set up the Ampera-e against four other small-and-sporty vehicles, including racing versions of the Opel Adam and Opel Astra as well as stock versions of the Opel Insignia and Corsa (what, you expected a Corvette to be in there?). With the EV's off-the-line torque as a selling point, Opel showed the Ampera-e beating the other vehicles in a 30-meter (100-foot) drag race. Of course, the video also shows the EV getting passed by some of the others soon after, but the point was made. Opel doubled down by adding the tagline "Fun to Drive" at the end of the video. While Opel hasn't revealed the single-charge range of the Ampera-e, it should be roughly the same as the Chevrolet Bolt, which will be about 200 miles. In addition, the Ampera-e, like the Bolt in the US, will get 200 horsepower from its electric motor, and will be able to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in less than seven seconds. The Ampera-e will debut at the 2016 Paris Motor Show later this month. General Motors said in February that Europe would get the Ampera-e by next year. Opel had previously used the Ampera name with the Euro version of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in.
