1965 Chevrolet Corvair 500
Up for sale is my 1965 Chevy Corvair 500 that I personally restored for a friend. Things dont turn out like they should sometimes so we have to sell it. This car was bought from a wrecking yard in Las Vegas and it had been sitting their since 1975 and still has the original Nevada plates. I have pictures of the restoration process just send me your email and I can send them if you are interested. It was taken apart completely and sandblasted inside and out and underneath. Mike Lucas from Pharump Nv did all the body work and paint. He smoothed both front and rear bumpers smothed out the front end by taking out the hump for the front license plate and turn signals. Then he smoothed out the dash and shaved off the wiper blades. Next the door handles were shaved as wheel as the gas door and rerouted it to the trunk. The emblems were all shaved except for the rear deck lid 140 emblem. The rear also had exhaust holes cut out for the dual headers. Then painted a Brilliant Bright Silver. The front suspension has been completely rebuilt with new ball joints,bushings,tie rod ends,wheel bearings,speedo cable,shocks and new brake shoes, wheel cylinders and hardware. Next it received a new fuel tank and sending unit with all new rubber hoses and clamps. The I rebuilt the rear suspension with some new hardware, new bushings, rebuilt rear bearings, new springs, new shocks and new brake shoes wheel cylinders and hardware. Axles were rebuilt with new universal U joints. Next was installing the freshley rebuilt 140hp engine. All the shrouds have been powder coated and everything else either blasted or repainted. The carbs are freshley rebuilt by Marty Katz and the engine was built by the Corvair Doctor. It has a rebuilt posi diff with a offenhouser polished cover/breather and a rebuilt 2 speed powerglide from Clarks Corvairs. The engine also received Offy valve covers and oil pan with a pair of Clarks Ultimate Headers. Also has rebuilt correct 140hp distributor with electronic ignition and new motor and trans mounts. Next it recived a brand new set of Boss Motorsports 18x8 and 18x10 with brand new Falken tires. Then all the trim has been professionally repolished, new tail light lenses, new winsheild and original T3 headlamps. Also has all new weather strips rubber bumbers and fuzzies. The interior has been completely redone first we replaced the front bench with two bucket seat from another 65 Corvair and recoverd with the non 500 interior all covers bought from clarks. All the trim has either been polished or replated including the wood steering wheel. Rebuilt speedo and dash colored keyed. New headliner dome light and carpet. The entire floor boards from back to front are coverd with Dynamate insulation. It has Auto-Loc door poppers installed as wheel for the keyless entry. All the wiring harnesses were also replaced engine, under dash, engine ect. It does have a few scratches and nicks from moving it around from one garage to another as I had brought this car with me when I moved back to Cali from Vegas. The floors have also been replaced but not done to the best of my liking. They are secure just were done sloppy. The vent windows I think need new rubber seals and handles. The engine was just tuned by Dave Statland and runs great the car only has 26 miles on it. Im sure I have left things out so if you are intrested send me a email with whatever questions you might have.
Thank you for looking and bid to win!

EcoCar2 is on the hunt for a better, cleaner Chevy Malibu [w/video]
Thu, Jun 12 2014The students spent three years transforming an ordinary Chevy Malibu into a revolutionary vehicle. Not far from the building where General Motors once invented the Chevy Volt, a dozen or so college students are standing on the blacktop alongside a test track, watching a professional driver push the limits of a plug-in hybrid car they've built that's far more radical. These students, from Colorado State University, have spent the past three years transforming an ordinary Chevy Malibu into a revolutionary vehicle. At first glance, it still looks like a regular sedan. But under the hood, they've installed a hybrid powertrain that contains both hydrogen and electric power sources. Even by the standards of the Department of Energy competition they're participating in, it's an outlier. That's exactly what they had in mind. "We didn't want to come here and tell them how to build a better Volt," said Tom Bradley, faculty adviser for the Colorado State team. "They already know how to do that. We can tell them how to think about these possibilities in a whole new way." After three years of work, it all comes down to this. The Colorado State team was one of 15 that came to GM's Milford Proving Grounds last week for the final stretch of the EcoCar2 competition, which challenges regular college students who have no automotive experience to do nothing less than reinvent the American car. The teams have come from across North America, and include schools like Ohio State and Virginia Tech that have a long history of participating in similar competitions, and schools like the University of Washington and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University that are here for the first time. After three years of work, it all comes down to this. The teams have operated 24 hours a day for almost two weeks here at the Proving Grounds, running a gamut of tests that include a 310-point safety inspection, emissions and energy-consumption tests and road tests, in which professional GM drivers ensure they're road worthy. The winning team will be announced tonight in Washington D.C. Revolutionary cars, ordinary package While other green-car competitions encourage extreme designs, this one comes with a somewhat constraining twist: Yes, students must improve fuel economy and reduce emissions, but in the end, they still have to have a car that would appeal to mainstream customers. In practical terms, that means they must keep conveniences like air conditioning and trunk space.
Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why
Sun, 27 Jan 2013Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.
Next-gen GM SUVs caught wearing new boxy bodies [w/video]
Wed, 15 May 2013We recently drove the brand-new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and found it to be vastly improved compared to the outgoing model. And now that The General's pickup trucks have been squared away, it's time to focus our attention onto their passenger-friendly companions, the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon (above).
Our spy photographers have passed along a huge smattering of photos (and a video), showing the new SUVs out testing. Both the short- and long-wheelbase models were spied, and while the overall shape of the vehicles hasn't changed all that much, we expect the updates to be substantial. In addition to new powertrain options, like GM's new small-block V8, we expect the interiors of both SUVs to get massive makeovers, providing better materials throughout their cabins and quieter, more refined environments. We even hear that some trick new suspension developments may be in store for upper-end models.
Visually, these spy shots allow us to see a couple of new details on the SUVs' front and rear fascias, including LED running lamps on the Yukon and some interesting LED taillamp treatments. Of course, the obvious third party missing from this set of photos is the Cadillac Escalade, but as we reported earlier, GM is working to further differentiate the 'Slade from the rest of the fullsize SUV lineup, and is working to make the new model "much less ostentatious."
