For Sale is a 1965 Chevy Corvair Corsa Convertible with @104K Miles on It. It is 140 HP model.

It has been garaged in Las Vegas and has been a reliable method of transport for over a decade. 

The car has been in my family for over 2 decades and was originally purchased out of Texas.  My dad gave it to me when he retired. 

I did the following to it (with the help of Marty Katz):

1) Installed Seat Belts. 
2) Regular Maintenance
3) Put on a new roof last year.
4) Tires are fairly new with little mileage

The car has been taken care of by Marty Katz locally in Las Vegas.  If you don't know Marty and own a Corvair or an Austin, you should. He's great and loves these machines.

I have to sell the car due to a divorce.  This is a gorgeous car and is one of my favorites. I would like for it to go to a good home.

Here are the only issues:

1) Recently horn developed an intermittent short.  This is annoying but is an easy fix. You also get a lot more attention, which is a plus.
2) Battery died due to #1
3) Windshield Fluid Pump never worked. Ever. I put fluid in. I think I have an original fluid container somewhere in the trunk.
4) AM Radio has loud static at times. This might be normal. I'm at the age where I barely remember AM Radio. I really like listening to old country when I drive in Vegas. Old country listening is optional upon purchase.
5) The front seats were replaced when the car had an overhaul-probably about 30 years ago.  They are in great shape. The rear bench is original, I think. Rear Bench has seatbelts, too.  I wanted them installed for when I drove my nieces and nephews around.
6) Car has been in the garage for about half a year. We hosed the Vegas dust off of it. Which explains the water. Assume you need to put additive in the gas.  This is a good idea. Please only use High Octane gas in this car. IF you aren't going to drive it much keep the fuel low and put premium in as soon as you can.
7) The driver interior door cover is a bit warped. Not bad but I figured I would mention it. (I took a photo) There is a slight tear on the dash. If you look carefully you can find it. 
8) The lighter is missing. It might be under the seat.
9) I would rate this about a 7.5- I drove it not showed it. With a bit of TLC you can easily get 9-10. It needs a car wash from the dust and the stuff from me cruising around. You might want to re-paint it in a few years and re-cover the rear seat later if you are a stickler, but this is a beautiful car that always turns heads.

Yep, I should have washed it well before the photos but I had limited time.

I am including an AM/FM Radio and an extra mirror.   If you are near Vegas and want to drive it I can go get a battery and we can go for a ride.  

I noticed that some of the interior photos are washed out.  This is a BRIGHT red interior. The Vegas sun was very bright today.  Please ignore any spurious water droplets. 

I can find no bubbling, which isn't surprising.  The paint is intact.  I've included a photo of one of the vents.  The trunk is completely dry and sealed. The car sounds awesome. And no, you don't get the cool centennial Vegas plates. 

Please contact me if you have any additional questions. It's a great car, and I'm sad to see it go. Car does have a reserve and is subject to prior sale in the next week as it is advertised locally.

But I'll be happier when my wife goes. Do a good deed today; buy my car. Or as Henny Youngman said, "Take my wife, please!" If you intend to take her, please tell me.  I can keep the car if that happens.

Would prefer wire transfer payment, if possible. Cash is good, too. Money order is OK, but I would prefer a local bank branch to OK it. Transport is the responsibility of purchaser.  
It is being stored at my old house, so the faster it gets out of there, the better.

Thank you for your time.

2016 Chevy Volt powertrain video teasers

Fri, Oct 31 2014

If there's one thing we've learned about plug-in vehicle fans, you have a thing for seeing your cars get made. The series of videos showing BMW i3 production was strangely popular, as were the shots from inside the VW e-Golf plant. Well, with General Motors pulling the veil off of the 2016 Chevy Volt this week, it's time to take a peek at the production process for that vehicle as well. You're welcome. Up first we've got a clip from CNN Money showing a little bit about how the new Volt's new battery pack and other powertrain components are made. Those of you who are trying to read the lithium tea leaves and see if the new shape reveals that the 2016 Volt will have five seats might want to check it out. Then we've got two clips from GM itself, one showing an animation about the updated Voltec powertrain and another with some B Roll of the old Volt. Since GM doesn't want us to see the new car quite yet, we'll have to enjoy this for now. Watch below. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

eBay Find of the Day: Mario Andretti's personal 2009 Corvette ZR1

Wed, Jan 7 2015

With victory in the the Indianapolis 500, a Formula 1 World Championship, a win in the Daytona 500 and too many other motorsports accomplishments to list, Mario Andretti stands among not just the greatest American racing drivers of all time, but the greatest drivers, full stop. Apparently, the champ is also a fan of speed when not on the track, because now there's a chance to own what is said tobe his personal 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 with just 12,872 miles on the clock. The eBay Motors auction page clearly shows Mario Andretti standing with the car, but the rest of the ad is admittedly short on details. The vehicle history report lists only one previous owner – ostensibly Andretti. The exterior is a handsome Blade Silver Metallic accompanied by a Dark Titanium leather interior. However, the seller keeps additional information to a minimum as well with the description simply stating, "This 2009 Chevy Corvette ZR1 is owned by Mario Andretti and has been garage kept all its life. It is fully loaded with all option on this car." The future buyer will get a seriously great car along with some huge bragging rights at any party by touting its ownership history. We've reached out to the seller for more particulars and provenance, and will update this story if we hear back. In the meantime, the auction for this C6 ends on Thursday, January 8, and currently the reserve isn't met. The price sits at a hefty $68,100 as of this writing, with six bids registered.
