1962 Chevrolet Chevy II (Nova) 300 Series 3 Seat Wagon Survivor First Year
Rarest of all Nova's. . . first year Chevy II 300 series 8-pass. station wagon with the extremely rare third row seat option, offered only in 1962 and 1963.
Original one-owner California black plate car that I bought and drove back to New York 4 years ago (some photos included here are from the trip home from California).
132,000 miles on it, which appears to be actual.  Car is currently being driven, so mileage will increase.
Car is completely original, never been hit, and everything is solid and straight.
Front fenders both previously repaired above the headlights, a common area for corrosion on these cars.
The bottom of the tailgate also has corrosion, also common on these cars.
Dings and chips to be expected for a 52 year old car, but all of the sheet metal is original.
Paint touched up over the years in spots with a paint brush, apparently by the original owner.
The left front fender and right side rear door both have a slight crease in them.
The chrome on the bumpers is weathered.
Sub-frame is solid.
Still has factory red-oxide primer on the underside of the floor; never undercoated.
Floors in good shape, with the exception of a small spot under the driver's and front passenger's feet, where floor and firewall meet. The driver side has an old repair. The passenger side still needs repair, which is a very easy fix.
Rocker panels are straight and solid.
Front seat is covered due to wear.
Rear seat fabric is in very good condition.
Third seat is nearly perfect.
Door panels are factory fresh.
Dash paint is almost perfect, as is the dash pad.
It has a replacement carpet.
194 cubic inch 6 cylinder, air cooled Powerglide, manual steering. Engine taps; likely a valve lifter or something along those lines. Drove it home from California like this with no problems.  Good oil pressure, runs great.
This rare vehicle is ready and roadworthy enough to be driven anywhere without concern. Brakes all rebuilt, New rear axle bearings and seals, steering has some slop and will eventually need attention.  5 new Firestone whitewall tires.
Car will be sold with its original black California plates and dealer plate frame. Comes with a New York State paper registration slip, as titles were not available for model years prior to 1972. Original owners manual and service receipts will go with the car.

Mother's Day Suggestion No. 2,506

Thu, 02 May 2013

With Mother's Day coming up, we're always looking for new gift ideas to celebrate the occasion, but hot laps around a track might not be the best suggestion for Darius Khashabi. In a video posted on YouTube, Khashabi straps his mom into the passenger seat of his C6 Corvette Z06 for some laps around Sonoma Raceway (formerly Infineon Raceway) at "60 percent" with comical results.
Now this isn't the first time Mama Khashabi has gotten seat time in her son's car around a track, as his YouTube page shows him pulling a similar stunt - with similar results - around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca last year. Scroll down for the video, but know that the action really gets going at around the 1:40 mark.

GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.

Hot Wheels Camaro to make big debut at Indy

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

Chevrolet handed over the keys to 33 Hot Wheels Camaro Convertible Indianapolis 500 festival cars this week. Race directors get the luxury of driving the droptops around Indianapolis in an ongoing tradition with roots all the way back to the 1960s. The stunt is supposed to remind area residents that the Indy 500 is right around the corner. The cars are our first look at the special Camaro Hot Wheels Edition in convertible form, and they are slated to head to dealers after a one-time production run. The cars also represent the first time in history full-size Hot Wheels have been offered for sale by an automaker.
The cars will be available in both the previously seen coupe bodystyle and this convertible configuration, and will feature metallic blue paint and special wheels with the iconic redline accent. Buyers will be able to choose between the V6-powered 2LT trim and the V8-powered 2SS guise.
Hot Wheels says the original Custom Camaro toy was one of the original 16 1:64-scale diecasts, and it remains one of the company's most valuable collector items today.
