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.

Bob Lutz says Tesla remains 'fringe' brand
Sun, Sep 28 2014We've said it before, we'll said it again: Bob Lutz gives great quotes. From his toilet-themed opinion of global warming to Toyota's deity status, the man knows how to get your attention. His latest? Saying that Tesla Motors is and will remain a fringe brand. Take that, Tesla fanbois. This, of course, is the same fringe company that prompted Lutz and his former colleagues at General Motors to start working on the Chevy Volt around eight years ago. The same fringe company that has easily outsold the similarly priced (but don't call it a competitor) Cadillac ELR with its Model S. Lutz did clarify that the fringe status will only last until Tesla comes out with a mass-market electric vehicle that has a range of 200 to 300 miles. Lutz was on CNBC talking about the TSLA stock's recent performance, and he pointed out that even Tesla CEO Elon Musk says that the California automaker's stock is overvalued these days. Despite its prevalence around these parts, Tesla is not yet a household brand. But the company is working hard to get a cheaper, long-range EV to market in the not-too-distant future, so this fringe thing may not last much longer than that show Fringe did.

Recharge Wrap-up: NEDC's NOx problems, autonomous Chevy Volts
Mon, Dec 7 2015The International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) found a significant difference in NOx emissions in Euro 6 diesel cars in NEDC and WLTC testing. While 88 percent of the cars tested met emissions standards for NEDC, NOx emissions averaged five times higher under WLTC, with only 27 percent of vehicles under the limit. WLTC is considered to be a more realistic driving cycle, using hot starts and factoring a higher top speed as well as harder and more frequent accelerations than the NEDC. Read more at Green Car Congress.GM Canada will build a fleet of autonomous 2017 Chevrolet Volts. The self-driving Volts will be deployed for testing at GM's Warren, Michigan Technical Center. Employees will be able to use a carsharing app to reserve a car, which will then drive itself to the set destination. The project will allow GM to collect important data and experience to help the company more quickly develop autonomous driving technology. Read in a press release more from GM Canada, or at Green Car Congress.Carwatt is showing an electric Renault Trafic powered by second-life batteries at the COP21 environmental summit in Paris. The lithium-ion batteries used to power the EV were recycled from other Renault EVs. With the electric Trafic, Carwatt – a company that converts vehicles to use electric power – aims to demonstrate the "circular economy" of batteries, which can provide more value through a longer lifecycle. Read more in the press release below. Carwatt presents a unique automotive application for second-life batteries from electric vehicles. On the sidelines of the COP21 summit, in the Solutions Gallery running from 2 to 9 December 2015 in Le Bourget near Paris, Carwatt and its partners —Renault, Paris City Council, BPI France, the Ales Ecole des Mines Engineering School, and the Bobigny Business Campus — are showing a very special electric Renault Trafic. This prototype vehicle, the only one of kind in the world, is powered by second-life lithium-ion batteries recycled from Renault electric cars. Circular economy at work with electric vehicles When, over time, the batteries of a Renault electric vehicle fall the performance threshold specified for their initial automotive power duty (around 75% of initial capacity), they can still provide valuable service in "second-life" applications before end-of-life disposal at a recycling centre. Experiments are already under way on power storage applications, for example.
Nissan recalls 3.5 million vehicles over airbag sensor
Sat, Apr 30 2016Nissan is recalling 3.53 million vehicles globally – 3.2 million in the United States – because the front passenger airbag may or may not deploy properly in the event of a crash. In affected vehicles, the occupant sensing system may not properly register a person sitting in the passenger seat. Passenger-side airbags in roughly 622,000 Nissan Sentra models built between 2013 and 2016 may deploy in crashes when they shouldn't, such as when a child is in the seat. 2016-2017 Nissan Maxima, 2013-2016 Nissan Altima, NV200, and LEAF, 2013-2017 Nissan Pathfinder, 2014-2016 Nissan NV200 Taxi, Infiniti QX60 and Q50, 2014-2017 Nissan Rogue, 2015-2016 Nissan Murano, Chevrolet City Express and 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles suffer from the opposite problem. In those models, the airbag may not deploy when it is supposed to. Nissan is aware of at least three crashes where airbags in one of the above models did not function properly, resulting in "moderate injuries." There have already been four recalls since 2013 for similar issues in Nissan vehicles. If you own one of these cars, expect a letter from Nissan in short order (or from GM if you own a Chevy City Express). Related Video: RECALL Subject : Passenger Air Bag may not Deploy due to OCS Error , 1 INVESTIGATION(S) Report Receipt Date: APR 26, 2016 NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V244000 Component(s): AIR BAGS Manufacturer: Nissan North America, Inc. SUMMARY: Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Nissan Maxima, 2013-2016 Nissan Altima, NV200, LEAF and Sentra, 2013-2017 Nissan Pathfinder, 2014-2016 Nissan NV200 Taxi, Infiniti QX60 and Q50, 2014-2017 Nissan Rogue, 2015-2016 Nissan Murano, Chevrolet City Express and 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles. In these vehicles, the front seat passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) may incorrectly classify an adult passenger as a child or classify the seat as empty despite it being occupied. As a result, the passenger frontal air bag may be turned off and not deploy in the event of a crash. CONSEQUENCE: If the passenger frontal air bag does not deploy as intended in the event of a crash, the passenger is at an increased risk of injury. REMEDY: Nissan will notify their owners. Chevrolet City Express owners will be notified by General Motors.
