Greenville, South Carolina, United States

Up for Auction is my beautiful 1965 "Evening Orchid" Corsa convertible.  It has been in my collection and is a very sweet ride.  But, I'm thinning out my herd.  This Corsa is in very good condition for it's "age" and has the rare "P" code (Evening Orchid), paint with fantastic workmanship and outstanding trim.  This is not a car to drive if you don't want to be noticed (Chick magnet), as it will get attention and compliments everywhere you park.  This Corsa was previously a show car and has extra Monza badging installed.  It is a "true" and original Corsa.  It is rare to find a Corvar in this condition and with this "Color" and "caliber" paint!  It only has a few small chips from normal use.   All of the bright work trim on the car is like new, with exceptions of a dent in the rear upper cove trim, the RR wheel opening trim and some minor dents in the windshield stainless moldings.  All of the glass is perfect with exception of the passenger door having some scratches.  the floors were recently replaced and the trunk floor was previously replaced with correct metal welded in. There are a few small paint blisters showing on the right rear quarter behind the wheel trim, (see photo), and the left rocker under the molding.  The seats show little wear and are nearly flawless, although the driver seat seems to be soft in the base as if the foam or springs are weak (not visually noticeable).  The convertible top is near perfect condition with a new rear window and works manually as it should.  The radio and wipers and heater all work properly.  The windshield pillar weather strips and trunk weather strips are new.

The Car has had recent maintenance and has  just been serviced by Steve Avery ("AVERY CORVAIRS"), in Greenville, South Carolina.  Including a tune up, with new Ignition wires, spark plugs, rebuilt carburetors and fresh oil change.  Also, the brakes were just "replaced", including wheel cylinders rebuilt and dual master cylinder.  The rear wheel bearings are lubed and have had grease fittings installed and the front wheel bearings have been checked and repacked.  All 4 shocks were just replaced with new "Clarks" shocks along with thermostats, a new Viton rear main seal and oil pressure switch.  The wheels are beautiful with 15x7 ARE with 196/65 15" (front), and 205/56 15" (rear). The tires are Cooper touring (absolutely dig these treads!), with between 5/32nds and 7/32nds of tread left. .  The 140hp engine has a "mild" cam and runs strong even though it is a "older" rebuild on a YR block, (TO407YR).   There is a "trace" of smoke on cold start . The clutch and gearbox have no issues and shifts are smooth and no "abnormal" noises. The transaxle is the later (1966 up), "Saginaw" with a "Otto" parts strut bracket installed . Should If you have any questions call Steve at "AVERY CORVAIRS" at (828)-342-0953.  Or Email him at vairtech@yahoo.com.  

Note: This Corsa is being sold "as is" and no warranty supplied or implied.  I have the right to end this auction at any time due to it being for sale locally.

Next-gen Chevy Cruze caught cruising in the cold

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Spy photographers have caught what looks like the next-generation Chevrolet Cruze out on snow patrol. The camo could be tricking our eyes, but it look like it has an even tidier, more rounded front end and even lower fenders in relation to the top of the hood. And either a chunk of camo has been wedged between the side mirrors and the doors, or the mirrors are up for revision, too.
The door handles have been moved up the side of the car, leading the way to a rear end that grows a bit in length. If the rumors are true, the coming second-generation Cruze sits on the new D2XX platform that will replace the Delta and Theta platforms at General Motors. A global architecture, the Cruze will be the first to get it, but it will underpin everything from next Chevrolet Volt to the Equinox and could be responsible for 2.5 million units by 2018. The next Cruze is expected to begin production in GM's Lordstown, Ohio plant in the third quarter of 2014.

2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray order guide hits the web

Mon, 15 Apr 2013

The official debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is only part of the excitement for fans of Chevy's virtuoso sportscar. Although we got to see the car and some of its preliminary specs in Detroit and Geneva, there is still no word on pricing and some of the juicier data points we've been waiting for - such as confirmed power output, EPA estimated mileage figures and performance numbers. Until then, CorvetteBlogger has gotten its hands on the order guide for the coupe version of the car - in both base and Z51 iterations - revealing tidbits like standard and optional features and available color combinations.
Some other new details made it onto the order guide, such as our first interior specs for the coupe including slightly less hip room and headroom, more shoulder room and the same amount of legroom. To see the full order guide, head on over to CorvetteBlogger. From what we can gather, it sounds like more information will be revealed on April 25 during a party at the Corvette Museum, and for those sun worshipers patiently waiting for a convertible, it would appear you've got another model year to wait through.

Stolen '57 Chevy Returned To Owner After 30 Years

Fri, Feb 21 2014

Three decades after it was stolen, a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air has been returned to a Northern California man - in better shape than when he originally owned it. The Santa Rosa Press Democrat reports Ian "Skip" Wilson was shocked to get a call from the California Highway Patrol informing him that his long-lost Chevy was taken off an Australia-bound cargo ship. The 65-year-old says the car has had a lot of work done on it since it disappeared from his Lake County home in 1984. It was returned with a monogrammed interior, 17-inch racing wheels, rack-and-pinion steering and a 350-horsepower V-8 engine. The retired mechanic says the two-door was in sorry shape when he bought it for $375 in 1975 with plans for fixing it up.
