1964 Chevrolet Corvair Convertible on 2040-cars
Omaha, Nebraska, United States
1964 Chevrolet Corvair Convertible. VIN# 40967W272901. Rare
Power Top that works well. Car is in very
good condition, drives straight at interstate speeds with no shimmy and runs
great. Mechanically very sound and
dependable worry-free driver, everything on the car works as it should both
mechanically and electrically. Nothing
worse than driving a classic car and fearing every time you stop at a light the
car will stall. No surprises or trailer-darling here, this car is ready to drive! I purchased the car 4 years ago and replaced the gas tank, sending unit, fuel pump, had both carbs professionally rebuilt, new battery, rebuilt generator, new coil, distributor, wires, plugs, installed an AM\FM\CD\IPod Stereo (hidden in the glove box and closes as normal), 4 wheel brake job, lowered the frontend an inch for a better look and drive (no clearance issues), installed 4 new shocks, fixed power top and added rear seat seat-belts for safety. Solid floors and trunk, no visible rust on exterior of car. Interior in great shape with no tears or fading in seats, door panels or carpets. Convertible top in excellent condition with no tears, cracking or fading. Convertible top window clear and not yellowed, cracked or brittle. Replaced both front and rear bumpers and bumper guards with high-quality replacements with a great chrome shine. 14” tires also in great shape with very good tread and never lose air. Rims in OK condition with minimal pitting, but shine up nicely. Glass in good shape all around, few small chips in windshield, but none spidered\spreading or impeding view. Car always garaged in heated garage. Automatic transmission that you shift from the On-Dash gear selector works perfectly with no issues. Parking\Emergency brake works great. Dual Snorkel air cleaner non-stock for model, but feel it’s a better look. Paint in very good condition with good shine and looks great. Working odometer on car shows 14,541K miles, but unsure of actual miles as title doesn't show “in-excess” or state mileage of last transfer. Assuming 114K miles, but with a Convertible up-North, unsure. Runs very smooth with good power, no smoke and always starts right up and never stalls. Have Owners Manual, Service Manual, Convertible Top Cover, Car Cover and other small misc parts that will go with car. A true classic convertible that turns heads without breaking
the budget! I’ve decided to sell because
with 3 young kids, my priorities have changed for now and simply don’t have
time to drive it like I should. Full Disclosure Issues- Slight oil leak when sitting as common with Corvairs, but minimal. Small dent on top driver’s side quarter, smaller than the size of quarter (see Pic). Previous owner did cut rear door panels to install speakers (I would never do) but at least they did a nice job. Front panels in tact and stock. Speakers look good and sound great. Clear Illinois Title- I spent most of time repairing car to
be road worthy and never titled in Nebraska.
My intention was to register the “Classic YOM Plates” as seen on car and
never got around to it (lengthy process). Have clear
Illinois title and valid signed bill of sale from previous owner and myself. Payment due within 7 days of sale and car will not ship
without full and cleared payment, no exceptions. Buyer
responsible for pickup and\or any shipping charges. Bid with confidence, but please only bid on the car if you intend to buy it. The car is for sale and will sell to the highest bidder. I know I'd be leery of buying a car online, so I welcome onsite inspections during the auction from buyers or buyer’s agents, but when the auction end, the sale is final. Also, please message me for any additional information or questions and I'll do my best to answer. If requested, I can also provide my mobile number. Back in '08 I sold a 1968 Camaro for just over $25K and the buyer left feedback as the transaction being an 11 on a scale of 1-10. Please check my feedbacks over the years. My reserve is well below the NADA “Average Retail” of the car and by no means would I classify this as “an average 1964 Corvair Convertible”. Reserve also far below Hagerty's "lowest condition scale of 4". I would scale the car between a 2 and 3. My reserve is below these values as I'm ready to sell the car. Summer is nearly here, time to get into a classic ragtop and go topless!

First-edition Detroit muscle raises millions for charity at Barrett-Jackson
Mon, Jan 19 2015Amidst all the classic metal crossing the auction block each year in Scottsdale, AZ, Detroit automakers have a tradition of donating the first examples of their most enticing new muscle cars, with the proceeds of their sales going towards worthwhile charities. This year, Barrett-Jackson handled three noteworthy examples. The highest price among them was the first Ford Shelby GT350R Mustang with the VIN #001, which raised $1 million for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. General Motors donated the first new Chevy Corvette Z06 Convertible, the first retail example of the droptop supercar garnering $800,000 for the United Way. Along with the Z06, GM also donated the first new 2016 Cadillac CTS-V sedan, which brought in $170,000 for Detroit's College for Creative Studies. Although these were the headline Motown muscle machines furnished by the automakers themselves, they weren't the only vehicles auctioned off for worthy causes. A 1950 GM Futurliner bus donated by collector Ron Pratte led the charge when it brought in $4.65 million for the Armed Forces Foundation. Other lots included a custom Jeep Wrangler donated by SEMA ($85k), a new M5 donated by BMW ($800k), a '79 Oldsmobile Cutlass Hurst ($140k), '39 Cadillac LaSalle C-Hawk ($410k), Jeff Gordon's 1999 NASCAR-spec Chevy Monte Carlo ($500k) and a Victory Cross Country 8-Ball motorcycle ($180k). All told, the charity lots raised over $8.7 million for local and national charities.

Suzuki recalls 2 million cars globally
Wed, Apr 22 2015Suzuki is recalling two million vehicles across the globe, including a number of Chevrolet Cruze sedans that it builds for General Motors, because the ignition switches may begin to smoke. None of the Cruzes being recalled were sold in the US, though. This recall is limited to the Japanese, European and Australian markets. In Suzuki's home market, 1,873,000 vehicles are being recalled, including the Cruze and a number kei cars built for Mazda (the Carol and AZ-Wagon), as well as the automaker's own Alto, Wagon R and Swift. Affected vehicles were built between 1998 and 2009. The remaining 133,000 vehicles include Cruzes and other Suzuki products sold in Europe and Australia. There have been no reports of injuries or accidents due to the 67 reported incidents, all of which come from the Japanese market, a Suzuki spokesperson told Automotive News. Related Video:
Here's how Detroit is selling more luxury vehicles than Germany and Japan
Sun, Dec 14 2014Now there's an attention-grabbing headline, eh? Although the answer to the riddle - pickup trucks and SUVs - might be somehow deflating, the numbers involved deserve a going over. According to TrueCar's figures (click on the table to enlarge), six of the year's ten best-selling vehicles in the US that sell for a transaction price above $50,000 are body-on-frame, and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class is the only foreigner to crack the top five. Every enthusiast knows that pickup trucks are 'Murica's most popular vehicle by a colossal margin, and there have been plenty of reports about the popularity of luxuriously appointed trucks and SUVs, but compare these figures from TrueCar: 70 percent of Chevrolet Tahoe sales have a transaction price above $50K, and The Bowtie is expected to make $3.9 billion in revenue on 66,945 predicted high-dollar sales; 95.1 percent of E-Class sales break $50K, so the German company will make $4.0 billion on 67,006 predicted sales in that pricing sphere. It's about the only time you'll see the Tahoe ranked right next to Mercedes' bread-and-butter sedan. Ram is ahead of those two with $4.2B coming from $50K-plus sales. The Ford F-Series does almost as much revenue as the next three combined, with an expected $10.8 billion coming from sales of trucks over $50K - more than a quarter of the model's total sales, when a base F-150 can be had for about $26,000. Yes, the Germans make a lot more money on fewer sales, but considering the comparison, the bottom line isn't too troubled by such facts. Weighing like-for-like, the full-size Ford walks it in every category; elsewhere, the Chevrolet Silverado outsells the Ram, but the Ram outsells the Chevy by 6.7 percent above $50K. And for all the flak GMC takes over swapping out grilles, the Sierra also outsells the Chevy in the well-appointed segment, 16.1 percent of sales versus 11 percent – the Professional Grade brand is a huge profit center for The General. You'll find more info in the TrueCar press release below.
