Vehicle Description
Chevrolet introduced the Corvair lineup for the 1960 model year as
the first of a series of generations of passenger compact cars.
Chevrolet introduced a more utilitarian style of vehicle the
following year under the model designation Corvair 95 for its 95"
wheelbase. There were essentially two different bodies available in
the 95 series: the van and the truck. A Corvair truck could be
ordered as a Loadside or Rampside. The Loadside was essentially a
pickup truck with a standard tailgate. The Rampside had a side ramp
to be used for loading and unloading cargo. These were used by the
Bell Telephone Company, because loading and unloading of cable
drums was eased by the side ramp. The production numbers for a
Corvair 95 model was from 1961-65. In 1962 only 4,102 Corvair 95
Rampside trucks were built. This truck is registered in the
Corvanatics Corvair 95 Registry and is one of only 101 registered.
All of the registry paperwork is included. It was completely
restored and is in show-quality condition. As the Trim Tag
indicates, this truck was born Crystal Turquoise, but during the
restoration it was painted the more desirable factory color
combination of Woodlawn Green and Cameo White. The paint is
beautiful and everything on the exterior has been replaced or
restored, including all the glass. It's equipped with the custom
chrome package, which includes the windshield trim, bumpers and
hubcaps. The hubcaps are correct and have been rechromed. The truck
sits on matching 14" wheels with BFGoodrich Silvertown radial
tires. The factory-correct Gray and Fawn interior complements the
exterior colors perfectly. Everything in the interior has been
replaced or restored. It's equipped with a rare dash-mounted clock.
Everything in the interior is in working order. The rear bed was
finished nicely in gray. Both the side ramp and tailgate work
great. The 145ci, air-cooled Turbo Air horizontally-opposed
6-cylinder engine is located in the rear of the vehicle under a
slightly raised cargo floor. The engine compartment is nicely
detailed and runs amazing. The engine is coupled to a 4-speed
manual transmission that shifts very smoothly. This truck drives as
great as it looks and draws a ton of attention. An owner's manual,
service manuals, extra correct rechromed hubcap, and some
miscellaneous parts are included. This vehicle has recently been
serviced and detailed, which is documented with an invoice that is
included.
