For Sale: 1960 Chevrolet Corvair in Cadillac, Michigan

1960 Chevrolet Corvair 500. Has original acrylic lacquer paint and chrome and very little rust. Paint still looks good but getting very thin. In places you can see oxidation beginning below. Garaged most of its life except couple years outside in southern California. Got this several years ago with 28 k original mi. Due to long storage some things deteriorated. Used MOS and OEM parts wherever possible for replaced and refreshed items. Used this car as daily driver for 2 years and is a fine, dependable car. Original motor has 80 hp and, with 3-spd floor shift, keeps up with traffic up to 65 mph. They say they cruise at 80+ all day on freeway, but it gets pretty scary beyond 65 with today's aggressive traffic. It's best for non-freeway driving IMHO. It drives well and coil independent suspensions give bigger car ride. Known Issues: - there is some body rust through in front 2 of the wheel wells and beginning in front of one. One is still solid. It is fixable. There is some minor surface rusting under car on panels and frames but they are solid. - the gasoline fired, original heater unit is in trunk. It is complete and clean but I never got it started. It is repairable but needs greater knowledge than current owner has about it. Changed oil and filters and new NOS spark plugs, rotor and cap. Runs smooth and drove well at 60+ on freeway today. This has a 3 speed gearbox with non-synchromesh first gear (like they did back then) and syncromeshed 2 and 3 gears. It's easy to get used to. They do have some gear whine and this is quite normal in 1 and 2 gears and Reverse. Then is quiet in high (3rd). Engine is original unmodified.
