Nice driver quality 65 Corvair Corsa convertible. Runs and drives great. Please watch the two videos. One is a walk around and the other is the car driving. The car can be used everyday without doing anything except changing the tires. You will get lots of comments like "did you restore it" and "I had one but it didn't look that nice" (just a few I heard this week). The car looks great at first glance but closer examination will reveal flaws. If you just want a nice daily driver or weekend cruiser then this is perfect. If you want a show car then it will need some work making it perfect. I would not hesitate to drive this anywhere. I am pretty critical of cars and it may sound like I am really downplaying the car but I just to make sure you have a good understanding of what you are bidding on. Nothing worse that being disappointed with a big purchase. Whoever wins this car is getting a very solid car that they can start using and enjoying right away. 

Pros-
New top a few years ago, still very nice.
Rear window clear and scratch free. 
Doors open and close nice, no sagging.
Just replaced seal between the top and the windshield.
Solid body and chassis.
Solid floors.
Runs great.
Nice interior.
No leaks, garage floor nice and clean still. 
All lights and signals work (including warning lights).
Clear title.
Original owners manual.
Starts easily on the first try.
Shifts good.


Cons-
Poor quality paint job. Bodywork appears that it was not done professionally. Car looks good as a driver quality but to be show worthy it would need attention.
Tires are old and should be replaced
Brakes pull to the left when pressed hard (possibly a sticky caliper)
Smokes a little under very hard acceleration ( car sat for a while and I have only driven it about 200 miles so I think just using it more will help)
Dash needs paint in places.
Original AM radio not working (does come with another radio that was working when I bought the car but I thought it was ugly so I took it out)
Originally would have been a 140hp engine, now a 110hp dual carb single exhaust
Tachometer, temp gauge and clock not working.
Steering shutters a bit at high speed (65mph and more), likely due to old tires. 
Steering is not as tight as it should be. Likely just old bushings


Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I can take more pictures of anything that you need to see better. I know it can be hard bidding on a car without seeing it in person which is why I included the videos. I encourage you to view the car in person. If needed I can deliver the car to a local mechanic of your choosing for closer inspection. You would be responsible for all costs. $500 non-refundable deposit required within 48 hours of auctions end. I am only human and I can not possibly list every single detail about the car but if you find that the car has been grossly misrepresented your deposit will be refunded and the sale will be canceled. It is a good honest car and I know the buyer is going to happy with their purchase. I can store the car in my heated garage for a few weeks if needed as long as 50% payment is received.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?

Recharge Wrap-up: Range-extended EV taxis in London, 2016 Chevy Volt interior two years old

Fri, Feb 13 2015

The first Metrocab range-extended EV taxis are operating on the streets of London. The cabs use a 12.2-kWh battery and two 50-kW motors, as well as a 1.0-liter gasoline range extender. Fuel economy is 98 MPGe on the ECE101 cycle, and total driving range is over 348 miles before needing to charge or refuel. Cabbies can expect to save GBP20 to GBP40 (about $30 to $60) per day on average. "The cash savings on fuel are significant, the ride and comfort outstanding, and my first customers are thrilled with the new cab," says the first operator of the new EV taxi, Preston Morris. "With its air suspension providing unrivaled comfort, panoramic glass roof for views of the city and silent powertrain, what's not to like?" Read more in the press release below. Chevrolet has had the interior design of the 2016 Volt finished for two years already, according to GM interior designer John McDougall. Beginning around 2010, GM received sketches from designers worldwide before narrowing it down to a handful of designs. Then the top three choices were molded from clay. The chosen theme was then refined for up to 18 months. "Every little thing you can imagine goes into that," says McDougall. "The glare angle from the windows, the placement of the controls, the placement of the seat. You have to create something that's beautiful and functional." Read more at GM Authority and at Inside EVs. More details have emerged about the Second Life Batteries Alliance. Vattenfall has announced a research project in partnership with BMW and Bosch to use retired EV batteries for stationary, grid-connected energy storage in Hamburg, Germany. Over 100 lithium-ion batteries from BMW i3 and ActiveE vehicles will make up a two-mWh storage unit for grid balancing, enough to power 30 four-person households for a week. The system is "compact enough to fit in a small building," says Bosch. Such storage systems are especially fit for storing and moving alternative forms of energy, which often fluctuate in supply more than electricity from a traditional power plant. Vattenhall will operate the storage unit for 10 years, with Bosch managing the batteries, during which time the three partners hope to learn more about battery applications and their performance over time.
