This is my personal 1965 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Super Sport.  Yah, I know, there were no Corvair Super Sports.  This is a one of a kind that I produced.  The Super Sport strips were copied off a 1975 El Camino Super Sport by a local graphic arts company.  I added the additional 2 taillights to complete the illusion.  All tail light lens and trim rings are NOS parts. There are additional SS badges on the trunk lid and glove compartment door.

This car was repainted in 2003 before I bought it so I don't know what is under the paint but it sure looks good.  I have replaced almost every piece of stainless steel trim on this car with NOS or reproduction pieces.  I had the bumpers re-chromed. 

The car has a new battery, cables, starter, alternator, distributer cap, electronic ignition, fuel pump, oil pressure sender, plugs, plug wires, carbs, aftermarket chrome air cleaners, fan belt (with spare),

I put reconditioned 14" Oldsmobile 442 wheels with new center caps and trim rings on the car.  The tires are double red line from Coker Tire.  I have put an ENTIRE new interior in the car with center console and new seat belts.  I did build a rear speaker enclosure with two 6 x 9 speakers but have not hooked it up to any radio yet.  I was going to put a modern radio under the passenger seat because I did not want to replace the working factory AM radio.  The factory clock in the car does work but it decides when it's going to do so!  The windshield washers do not work.  I have added a lock to the engine compartment as these cars never had locking engine compartment lids.

There are NO leaks from this car other than a very minor occasional drip from the automatic transmission shift linkage 0-ring.  The transmission fluid has been changed.  The car has Mobile One 10w-30 oil in it.  There are no squeaks or rattles in this car - it is solid. 

The interior of the trunk looks brand new.  The underside of the trunk and engine compartment lids look perfect.  There is a brand NEW spare tire in the trunk.  The Corvair currently has dual Harley Davidson Sportster mufflers on it so it has a "cackle"! 

This car currently has 54,000+ miles on it that are supposedly original but I have no way of proving that fact.  It was a one owner car when I bought it 5 years ago.  The car spent its entire life in Atlanta, GA.  I purchased it from the estate of the lady that bought it new.  I have the original dealer window sticker and purchase paperwork to go with the car. She traded two Packards in on the car in 1965!

This car was at the national Corvair meet in Cedar Rapids, Iowa in 2010 and got rave reviews from everyone that saw it.

I have invested over $15,000 in the restoration of this Corvair but am asking only $5995.00 because:  The car has been garaged under a car cover since last fall when we were out for an ice cream cone drive.  The engine developed a knock on the way home so it has a problem that needs repair.  I currently would not attempt to drive it.

The winning bidder will have to PayPal a non-refundable $500 deposit immediately upon purchasing the car.  This auction can be canceled at anytime as the car is also advertised locally and on Craig’s List.  I have the clear Iowa title in my hands!  Transaction types allowed are bank-to-bank wire transfers, US Postal Money Order, PayPal, or Cash.  Cashier's checks and money orders are too easily counterfeited - Sorry!

Are you the 2014 Corvette Grand Sport?

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

When are stripes more than just stripes? Follow up question: Is the product development team at Chevrolet really cocky enough to hide the next C7 Corvette variant in plain sight? This very recently spotted, and ostensibly obscured C7 asks a lot more questions than it answers, but there's at least some evidence to support that it might be the next Corvette Grand Sport.
The first and most obvious tip-off that something is up with this 'Vette revolves around those silver stripes. Obviously the stripes themselves don't necessarily denote a new model. However, when Chevy recently launched its "colorizer" website for the Stingray, there was no provision made for racing stripes - solid colors only.
Grand Sport exhibit number two is actually an incriminating lack of badges. The production Corvettes we've seen to date have all carried Stingray badges on their fenders, just behind the vent. The car seen in these images has no such badges, which is an intriguing omission on an car that looks like a production-spec vehicle otherwise.

Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.

Junkyard Gem: 2003 Chevrolet Tracker

Wed, May 22 2024

When General Motors created the Geo brand to sell vehicles designed and — in some cases — built by Japanese partners, the first four models were introduced for the 1989 model year: the Metro (Suzuki Cultus), Prizm (Toyota Sprinter), Spectrum (Isuzu Gemini) and Tracker (Suzuki Sidekick). Geo got the axe in 1997, with the Metro, Prizm and Tracker becoming Chevrolets. Of those, the Tracker survived the longest, with U.S.-market sales continuing into 2004. Here's an example of a very late Tracker, found in a North Carolina car graveyard recently. The 1989-1997 first-generation Trackers were based on the Suzuki Sidekick, while the 1998-2004 Trackers had the Suzuki Vitaras (not to be confused with the much grander Grand Vitaras) as their siblings. Production of these trucks for the South American market (as the Chevrolet Vitara) continued in Ecuador all the way through 2014. The Tracker name has also gone onto some versions of the Chevrolet Trax around the world. This one is a base four-door hard top/rear-wheel-drive model, which had an MSRP of $17,330. That's about $29,789 in 2024 dollars. You'll find one in every car. You'll see. The engine is a Suzuki 2.0-liter straight-four rated at 127 horsepower and 134 pound-feet. A five-speed manual was base equipment, but very few American vehicle shoppers wanted three pedals by the middle 2000s. This truck has the Aisin four-speed automatic. We like it loud. It appears that someone associated with this truck graduated from Julius L. Chambers High School last year. In the United States, the Tracker was replaced by the Saturn Vue. If Tracker can handle (unspecified Middle Eastern country), it can survive the jungle back home. Siempre contigo.
