1968 Convertible Corvair on 2040-cars
|
This is a fun car to drive! Put your surfboard in the back and head to the coast today. I want to try and describe the vehicle condition so you know what you are bidding on after you have read this. Look at the photos. Please send questions for more info. I bought this car from a guy that's father had it in storage for 15 years. I fixed the brakes, polished the paint, rebuilt the front end by replacing the bushings and ball joints. Fixed the oil leaks and replaced the oil cooler. It has electronic ignition and an electric fuel pump. It seems that Californias modern fuel tends to eat the diaphrams of the manual pumps. The four single barrel carbs could use a rebuild, but they all function. The two speed powerglide shifts well, all gears functioning. As stated, there is rust showing in the lower door jam (see photos), but not too bad. The doors work well, no sag, close easy and don't rattle. No other rust that I found. There is cracking in the front fenders paint near the windshield posts (see photos). This is not the original paint, but have no details to go with it. A couple of dings, but overall cleans up well. The upholstry needs to be done as the driver seat is torn (covered with a beach towel) and the back seat has damage (see photo). Or do what I did, and drive it! The carpet is OK, and there is a carpet kit in the trunk. The dash is in excellent shape, gauges work including the working AM radio. There is an aftermarket radio installed underdash with a power amp mounted in the trunk. Chrome is old, light lenses too. No broken glass, although the driver door glass is not installed. 14" rims and tires. See the photo, BF Goodrich with good tread left. Handles well. The top is fresh and in great condition, but not power. It was up when I bought it, so I folded it with care and put it down. It has not been up since. This is a garaged car and has been used little. Sunny weekend trips only. If you want a 46 year old low production convertible to drive today, bid on this one. What a great father / son project for a small budget. Not much to finish this right, paint and upholstry! It really stops people to look and recall the one "my father had" or "my uncle had", always with a smile! No smog, drives straight, steers well, stops solid (good pedal). This is being sold as is, where is with no warranty, no returns. Bid with confidence, but please only bid on the car if you intend to buy it. The car is for sale and will sell to the highest bidder past the low reserve. You can pick it up after full payment, 1,000.00 made via paypal within 48 hours of winning the bid and the remainder in CASH only when you get here. No cash, no sale, no refund. If you are sending a carrier to haul the car, you can pay in full via paypal before they get here. I have the pink slip in hand, and the tags are current. Bid knowing that you are buying a piece of Chevrolet history! Good luck, and thanks for bidding.

GM opens military discount to 21M veterans and their spouses
Thu, Apr 7 2016May marks the start of National Military Appreciation Month, and General Motors is getting into the spirit by expanding its military discount program to, well, just about everyone. That includes a total of 21 million military veterans and their spouses, along with the current slate of active duty, reserve, and National Guard members. The discount can slash thousands of dollars off the price of a new Buick, Chevrolet, or GMC vehicles, with Automotive News listing an $1,100 discount on the top gas-powered version of the Malibu, the Premiere. Those that want a bit more spice can get $1,700 off the price of a last-generation 2015 Camaro SS, while truck buyers will enjoy $3,000 off the Chevy Silverado All Star. That's just a start, though, since the military discount can be paired with other GM incentives. The discount doesn't apply to everything, though. Some are understandable – none of Cadillac's vehicles are included in the deal, nor is the Corvette Z06. You'll also be unable to apply the discount to a range of base-level trims, like the Chevy Cruze or Equinox L, the base Colorado, or the entry level GMC Acadia, Canyon, and Terrain. A full list is available at GM's dedicated military discount website. GM's expanded discount plan runs from today through May 31.

10 electric cars we’re excited are coming soon
Thu, Sep 22 2022If you were considering buying an electric vehicle a couple years ago, we wouldn't fault you for thinking your options were limited, both in terms of quantity and quality. You just might not have been able to find an electric car that would suit your needs, lifestyle or budget. With the newest generation of EVs that have launched in the past year or two, your options have changed — and improved — dramatically. If you still don't see an EV you like, just wait a little while longer. It won't take long. There are a whole lot more on the horizon, and the problem may soon be in narrowing down your options. To give you an example, here are 10 electric vehicles we're excited about that you'll be able to buy very soon, from GM, from Germany, from Japan and more. Some of these will be available by the end of the year, and all are expected to launch by the end of 2023. The Chevy trio: 2024 Blazer EV, Equinox EV and Silverado EV GM is stepping into the future with strong footing. Following high-end electric launches from GMC (Hummer EV) and Cadillac (Lyriq), Chevrolet is bringing three electric vehicles with familiar nameplates. The 2024 Chevy Blazer EV (above left) will offer a number of versions, starting with the 2LT and RS trims in the summer of 2023, followed by the 557-horsepower SS in the fall and the base 1LT in early 2024. The 2024 Chevy Equinox EV (above right) will go on sale in fall 2023 as a limited-edition model, with volume sales ramping up in 2024, with a base cost of “around $30,000.” For those who prefer a bed to a liftgate, the 2024 Chevy Silverado EV is an electric pickup that looks more like the old Chevy Avalanche than the current Silverado. The WT (work truck) trim launches in fall 2023, while the 664-horsepower RST will follow in 2024. Read more: 5 new electric car companies coming in 2023 and beyond 2023 BMW i7 BMW revealed the all-electric 2023 i7 luxury sedan alongside the gas-powered 7 Series. It should go on sale before the end of 2022. The i7 xDrive60 will be the only variant, with its two motors providing a total of 536 horsepower and 549 pound-feet of torque, and its battery expected to offer a range of about 300 miles. Just like its internal combustion counterpart, this full-size sedan wonÂ’t come cheap, with the i7 starting at $120,295. 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 Following the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6 and Genesis GV60, the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 will be the fourth car using Hyundai GroupÂ’s E-GMP electric car architecture.
2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel arrives with 42 mpg for $25,695*
Thu, 07 Feb 2013The last time General Motors had a diesel passenger car in the US, it was the 1.8-liter 1986 Chevette. At the 2013 Chicago Auto Show today, GM is unveiling the much-anticipated 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel. The compact bows with a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine that boasts 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, with full twist coming on at just 2,000 rpm. What's more, the common-rail, direct-injection diesel features an overboost function that allows the engine to deliver up to 280 lb-ft of torque for 10 seconds at a time. Even with 10 more horsepower and 110 more pound-feet of torque than the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder in the Cruze, the 2.0-liter diesel engine can return up to 42 mpg (highway) bolted to its six-speed automatic transmission.
If you're counting, that figure meets the less powerful Cruze Eco with a six-speed manual transmission. More importantly, the auto transmission Cruze Diesel matches its main competition, the Volkswagen Jetta TDI, in highway fuel economy. The Cruze 2.0 TD (as it will be badged) can also handle up to 20 percent biodiesel (B20), whereas the Jetta is rated only for B5. General Motors has not released city fuel economy for its newest diesel, but we do know how much it will cost you to jump behind the driver's seat.
GM will kindly ask for $25,695, plus an $810 destination fee. That marks a $2,115 premium over a loaded Cruze LTZ Auto and $2,640 more than the Jetta TDI, though the MSRP will net you a leather interior, 17-inch alloy wheels and an Aero Performance Package, as well as a two-year maintenance plan and five-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Compared to the gas-powered Cruze, you also lose a couple cubic feet of rear cargo space thanks to a 17-liter diesel emission fluid tank. That urea fluid, which helps put the clean in clean diesel, will need to be refilled at least every 10,000 miles.
