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.

Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle
Sun, Aug 21 2022The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward — perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.

Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states
Fri, 26 Sep 2014The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.
2016 Chevy Colorado Duramax gets 31 mpg highway
Mon, Nov 9 2015The 2016 Chevrolet Colorado Duramax and its similarly diesel-powered GMC Canyon sibling are the most fuel-efficient new trucks on the market in America. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates 31 miles per gallon highway, 22 mpg city, and 25 mpg combined for two-wheel-drive Colorado and Canyon diesels. That's just good enough to take the pickup fuel-economy title from the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel HFE, which carries EPA estimates of 29 mpg highway, 21 mpg city, and 24 mpg combined. Four-wheel-drive models offer slightly lower economy figures of 29/20/23, respectively. Drivers can cover quite some distance, too – the GM twins' 21-gallon tanks mean a maximum range of 651 miles. <p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p> Diesel's reputation may be somewhat tarnished in the US after Volkswagen's emissions scandal, but Chevy wants to assure potential customers that there are no tricks with the Colorado's figures. The pickup's engine features NOx-reducing tech like exhaust gas recirculation, and the EPA and California Air Resources Board recently chose the truck to take the additional step of real-world emissions tests. The 2.8-liter Duramax four-cylinder with 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque had no problems with the more stringent evaluation, and "the agency expressed no issues or concerns," according to the company's statement. The diesel Colorado goes on sale this fall, and the Duramax costs $3,730 over a similarly equipped V6 model. We've gone ahead and included dueling press releases from both Chevy and GMC below for your reading pleasure.
