Up for sale is one of the cleanest, original, 1964 Corvair Turbo Spyder convertibles around. I am selling this for my 80 year old father, who has had it stored in his garage for the past 10 years. He purchased it from the original Huntington Beach owner. Believe it or not, the last registration on it's original California original black plates is 1980! Purchased for the original owner as a gift when she turned 16; according to her, the car had vapor lock issues from day one and after a year her father retrieved the car from her, he bought her another new non turbo Corvair and kept this one for himself. He drove it sparingly over a few years to work and back and at some point had it repainted back to its original color around 1978. He stopped driving it in 1979 and garaged it. When he got older, he gave it back to his daughter, who just parked it in her garage and left it. We happened upon this car and my father purchased it. Since then, it has been sitting, covered in his garage. This vehicle's numbers are matching. It has the ultra rare power top, that functions perfectly. As you can see from the photos, she is very original and preserved and has never gone through any "restoration" (other than the early re-paint). My father believes the top to be the original. He recently replaced the original 1964 spiral shocks with new ones and sent out the carb. for rebuild. It has new plugs, new fuel pump, oil and filter change, new engine wiring loom, new engine bay surround seals, new air cleaner, newer brakes (complete, done about 5 years ago), trans. and diff. oil changed, greased, lubed, wheel bearings cleaned and packed, suspension lightly cleaned and detailed, and probably a few other small items that my father tinkered with over the years. It runs and drives very nice and the turbo has great boost. It does have a real set of biased ply tires that were probably installed in the early 70's and while they show new with literally no wear, I probably would cross the country on them. My father removed the back seat to check the oil level in the top motor and I took some photos of the floor pans and the surrounding areas. They are perfect, no rust anywhere and the original assembly line chalk writing is till on the support panels. It is unbelievable! This car does have perfect pans with no damage throughout the entire car. Probably as close to factory new condition as you can get. The outside trim is in beautiful, original condition including the bumpers, which appear new. The body is about as arrow straight as you can probably get. Panel fit is excellent and the car has NEVER been hit or damaged since 1964. The power top works perfect and all of the parts including the pump, cylinders, and lines are factory original. This car was optioned with the very rare deep tint glass and all of it is original and complete and like new, including the rare, thicker and beveled side glass. The doors close perfect with no sag. Underneath the car is as clean and original as you would expect,maybe nicer. It is mostly the original GM finish and is clean and dry and free of any rust or damage. The interior is 100% original from the factory. The dash pad has a small crack by the speaker, the passenger front seat has a very minor split, the sun visors need the edge sewn a little, etc. Just some small stuff, but at 50 years old, it only shows age wear, but not wear from use. The paint job is an old enamel re-spray. I would say it was good for the time and they didn't sand or damage anything. However, it isn't perfect. It does have a few various chips or scratches simply from sitting in the garage over the years. Beautiful stainless trim. All weatherstripping is original from what I can tell and in remarkably good shape. The body is clean and free of any rust or damage except I could see just a couple of very small "bubbles" (?) near the front letters on the trunk edge...smaller than a pea. The top is believed to be the original, if not it is close. It is holding it's own, but the back window is foggy and has a small tear in the middle and the canvas is aging some. It definitely is still sealing around the sides and back though. The only things that I can see that are not working are: The tachometer works intermittently. The radio the same...comes on when it wants to. The turn signals don't cancel sometimes. I believe even the heater/defrost system is working correct, however my father did say that the large rear flexible tubes are aging and could use replacement at some point in time. This is truly a spectacular example of a very rare car in an almost non-existing condition. A truly original survivor by any standard absolutely collector quality. Driver her, as is, with no problems...she is ready to cruise the road now...put her away and cherish her as the the values of cars in this ultra rare condition are increasing daily. You will never find another like this one. Opportunities like this come don't come around too often. Comes with the owner's manual, convertible top manual, and an original GM touch up paint that was purchased new with the car.. Will be sold with a clear and clean original vintage "small pink slip" from many years ago...(I myself hate to see it go as it has been a fixture in Dad's garage for so many years, but at his age he has decided that somebody should enjoy it instead of it sitting in his garage... I guess I would have to agree). Please bid your best. I would like for him to see that all of the time he protected it from the elements were not in vain. |

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel arrives with 42 mpg for $25,695*
Thu, 07 Feb 2013The last time General Motors had a diesel passenger car in the US, it was the 1.8-liter 1986 Chevette. At the 2013 Chicago Auto Show today, GM is unveiling the much-anticipated 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel. The compact bows with a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine that boasts 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, with full twist coming on at just 2,000 rpm. What's more, the common-rail, direct-injection diesel features an overboost function that allows the engine to deliver up to 280 lb-ft of torque for 10 seconds at a time. Even with 10 more horsepower and 110 more pound-feet of torque than the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder in the Cruze, the 2.0-liter diesel engine can return up to 42 mpg (highway) bolted to its six-speed automatic transmission.
If you're counting, that figure meets the less powerful Cruze Eco with a six-speed manual transmission. More importantly, the auto transmission Cruze Diesel matches its main competition, the Volkswagen Jetta TDI, in highway fuel economy. The Cruze 2.0 TD (as it will be badged) can also handle up to 20 percent biodiesel (B20), whereas the Jetta is rated only for B5. General Motors has not released city fuel economy for its newest diesel, but we do know how much it will cost you to jump behind the driver's seat.
GM will kindly ask for $25,695, plus an $810 destination fee. That marks a $2,115 premium over a loaded Cruze LTZ Auto and $2,640 more than the Jetta TDI, though the MSRP will net you a leather interior, 17-inch alloy wheels and an Aero Performance Package, as well as a two-year maintenance plan and five-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Compared to the gas-powered Cruze, you also lose a couple cubic feet of rear cargo space thanks to a 17-liter diesel emission fluid tank. That urea fluid, which helps put the clean in clean diesel, will need to be refilled at least every 10,000 miles.
GM is quietly slashing prices on base models
Fri, Jan 30 2015While General Motors' fourth quarter financial figures haven't yet been released, the automaker seems to be weathering a potentially rocky time well, even beating third-quarter projections last year. To keep the climb going, the company is launching new base trims for several popular models that make them cheaper than ever but with tight dealer margins. The new entry-level trims are the Chevrolet Cruze L, Equinox L, GMC Terrain SL and Buick LaCrosse 1SV. Buyers lose some content by picking them, but the prices are slashed. According to Cars Direct, the biggest savings are on the LaCrosse, where customers pay $31,065, plus $925 destination, $2,570 less than the previous base 1SB trim but must accept things like 17-inch wheels and no cargo net in the back. If you're wondering how Buick can remove only a little equipment but cut the price so much, it's because the company also slashed dealer margins. According to Cars Direct, the difference between the invoice and MSRP for the LaCrosse 1SV is only around $150, compared to around $1,350 before. The disparity is even greater for the Cruze with an $81 difference in the prices, compared to about $600 for the LS version. Showrooms are expected to keep very low stocks of these trims, though. "Dealers use such vehicles to get people in the door, but they do not generally want to do high volumes of these strippers. The margins are next to nothing; they don't make much money off these cars," said Ed Kim, Vice President of Industry Analysis for AutoPacific to Autoblog. Dealers are also expected to advertise that these new base trims undercut major competitors. For example, the Cruze L rings up for about $2,320 less than a Honda Civic LX, according to Cars Direct. One potential drawback for buyers is that these models might not be eligible for incentives. While the attractive prices might get customers into dealers, folks may not actually end up driving home with these entry-level models. Kim indicated base trims also make up a small portion of the sales mix. "Consumers aren't asking for stripped out vehicles, even at the low end of the marketplace," he said.
