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!

GM recalls 83,572 SUVs for ignition switch issue

Sun, Jan 4 2015

General Motors is recalling 83,572 SUVs from the 2011 and 2012 model years over a potential ignition lock actuator issue. In affected vehicles, the actuator isn't the right size, which could cause the ignition to get stuck in the "Start" position, and then either due to a jarring event or a "cool interior temperature" the ignition could switch back to the "Accessory" position. Doing so would cause a loss of power assistance and the airbags might not deploy. This is a different ignition issue than the one that's been ongoing for the past year. GM said it expects that less than 500 vehicles suffer from the problem, but that the pool could include vehicles from 2007 through to 2014 that have already been fixed, but with defective parts. The 2011-2012 SUVs included in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration notice: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado HD, Silverado LD, Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Sierra LD, Sierra HD, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles. GM will notify owners and dealers will inspect the ignition lock housing to see if it needs a free replacement. RECALL Subject : Ignition Lock Actuator may Bind Report Receipt Date: DEC 30, 2014 NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V827000 Component(s): ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado HD, Silverado LD, Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Sierra LD, Sierra HD, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the ignition lock actuator may bind, making turning the key difficult or causing the ignition to get stuck in the "Start" position. CONSEQUENCE: If stuck in the "Start" position, the ignition may suddenly snap back into the "Accessory" position, causing a loss of engine, steering, and braking power, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. If the vehicle is in a crash, the air bags may not deploy, increasing the risk of occupant injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the ignition lock housing, as necessary, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-458-8006 (Cadillac), 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 14696 for the original equipment, and 14912 for the service replacement parts.

Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.

GM expected to debut two new crossovers at Detroit Auto Show

Thu, Dec 15 2016

Next month, General Motors is expected to debut two new crossovers at the North American International Auto Show. That's according to Automotive News and The Wall Street Journal, which reports that the successors to the aging Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Terrain will finally make their debut. The two crossovers have been on sale since 2009 and 2010 respectively and are due for updates as the competition has newer models on the market. Both crossovers play in growing market segments where sales success is crucial for the respective brands. GM, and the automotive industry as a whole, has been shifting its focus towards crossovers in the last few years. The Traverse and the Terrain are some of the oldest SUVs on the market and are in dire need of an update. GMC's Acadia, the former corporate clone to the Traverse (and Buick Acadia), switched to a new platform in 2016. And the Terrain's platform-mate, the Chevrolet Equinox, was revealed a few months ago. Both the new Chevy and GMC models are expected to go on sale late in 2017 as 2018 models. Look for a follow up to the Traverse's sister, the Buick Enclave, to make an appearance soon.
