See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"This car was the project of an active auto shop teacher who is now physically not able to complete the car. The 140 hp. engine has been removed and a junk engine is in place to push it around. The original engine was correctly rebuilt up to the point where his health stopped the project. He had completely restored the interior with all new upholstery, head liner, door panels, trim and new interior paint. It has all new rubber weather strip and fuzzies. It has a new windshield and new rubber seal. It does need one dent on the hood repaired which in turn calls for a possible new paint job? It rolled into an Orange tree, brake not set. The 140 engine has all new and is correctly rebuilt from the fan down. He has all the parts including carbs, etc. It is still a project for someone. The beauty of this offer is that my friend Red Badgett and I could find NO RUST! I am listing this for my friend the teacher. It has a low reserve so do not ask. Thanks, Jim"

As noted above this car was a work of love for the teacher. Most of the mechanical work was completed when the teacher was healthy and he probably had access to many shop tools in the Whittier School area. He has a beautiful 1947 Plymouth that he has restored and his craftsmanship stands out. It also shines when we looked over his sand dune buggy the he built from scratch. He is very talented yet is faced with Parkinson's and can no longer even drive. I am much older than he and thankful at 89 to still function and drive. This project would be a winner to some one who wanted a rust free Corsa and a correctly rebuilt engine. It will take a few bucks to finish this project but what a beauty you could own.  Open to questions and the answers will come from the owner. Thanks Jim Stansbury , San Diego Corvair Club.

GM to add 1,200 workers at 2 Michigan factories

Sat, Feb 29 2020

DETROIT — General Motors is adding 1,200 jobs at two Michigan factories to build midsize SUVs and two new luxury sedans. GM said Friday that its Lansing Delta Township plant will get a third shift and 800 more workers to build the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave SUVs, which have three rows of seats. The Lansing Grand River plant will get a second shift and 400 more workers to build two new Cadillac sedans, the CT4 and CT5. Employees laid off at other GM factories will fill the new jobs first, then workers will be added, GM spokesman Dan Flores said. The company has not determined yet how many new people will be needed, he said. Both additional shifts will start working sometime between April and June, the company said. Lansing Delta Township now employs about 2,500 salaried and blue-collar workers, while the Grand River plant has 1,400. GM sold more than 147,000 Traverse SUVs in the U.S. last year, a 0.4% increase from 2018. Enclave sales were up 3% to just over 51,000, according to Autodata Corp. Related Video:
