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.

GM will recall more than 3.3 million vehicles in China for suspension defect

Sat, Sep 29 2018

BEIJING (Reuters) - General Motors' joint venture in China, Shanghai GM, will recall more than 3.3 million Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac vehicles stating Oct. 20 because of a defect with the suspension system, China's market regulator said on Saturday. GM Shanghai said in a text message to Reuters that the suspension arm may be deformed under extreme operating conditions, but there are no known casualties related to the issue. The recall includes cars produced between 2013 and 2018, the State Administration for Market Regulation said in a statement. GM will contact those affected and repair the vehicles free of charge, it said.

Sunday Drive: Trucks and SUVs of all shapes and sizes

Sun, Nov 5 2017

The American automotive marketplace is dominated by trucks and SUVs, and so was the last week of coverage on Autoblog. By far, the most popular story of the week was our First Drive of the 2018 Lincoln Navigator. It may look like an old-school lumberer, but in reality Lincoln's flagship is a thoroughly modern, turbocharged-V6-powered, three-row, luxury people mover. The Jeep Wrangler is the world's most recognizable vehicle. So it's no surprise that the next version looks a whole heck of a lot like the last one, and the one before. It's all in the details, which is why we were so excited when Jeep decided to unleash a trio of images showing both two- and four-door Wranglers for us to dissect ahead of the SUV's official debut at the L.A. Auto Show later this year. Past that, spy photos of the next Chevy Silverado and Ram 1500 were predictably popular. See both of those below, and the cap it all off, check out the entire week's worth of SEMA coverage – including the bonkers Hennessey VelociRaptor 6x6 – in our mega image gallery at the bottom of this post. Enjoy! As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry. 2018 Lincoln Navigator First Drive | From black sheep to flagship 2018 Jeep Wrangler revealed: First photos released before L.A.

NHTSA closes book on Ford, GM probes of 600,000 vehicles

Thu, Nov 27 2014

US safety regulators have closed a pair of investigations into some 500,000 Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and Marauder sedans built between 2004 to 2007, and 100,000 Chevrolet Impala models from 2014. The Ford investigation focused on rusting heat shields, which may become dislodged and jam the steering, according to Reuters. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that this happened very rarely. In fact, of the ten incidents filed with the government safety watchdog, six came from a single police department, which evidently had some sort of problem with its reporting. As for the Impala, the NHTSA investigators attributed two incidences of "unintended autonomous braking" to user error. In both cases, the vehicles were involved in rear-end collisions. According to GM investigators, it's believed that drivers accidentally activated the electric parking brake, causing the collisions. The vehicles in question were rental cars.
