Vehicle Description
Motorcar Studio is pleased to offer this 1965 Chevrolet Corvair
Corsa Convertible, restored to an exacting standard by a former
chairman of the Corvair Society of America's National Concours.
Presented in the attractive original color of Sierra Tan metallic,
this is an unusually well-optioned car with the rare and desirable
180 hp turbocharged flat-six (only around three percent of 1965
Corvairs got the turbo - even fewer were Corsa turbo convertibles
optioned like this).
In addition to a styling update, Chevrolet revamped the Corvair
suspension in 1965 for considerable improvements in handling over
the first-gen cars. The Corsa was the top-of-the-line sport model
model in 65 and 66 which came standard with full instrumentation, a
silver rear cove, and special pinstriping.
This example is fitted with the 180 hp turbocharged flat six mated
to a four-speed manual transmission with positraction rear end;
additional drivetrain options include the rare factory heavy-duty
oil-bath air cleaner and heavy-duty shocks and springs. Comfort,
safety and appearance options include a power top, telescoping
steering wheel, deluxe front and rear seat belts with front
retractors, headrests, padded dash, soft-ray tinted glass,
push-button AM/FM radio with three-knob stereo multiplex, tissue
holder and wire wheel covers.
With approximately 5,000 miles on the restoration (which included a
full engine overhaul by a known Corvair specialist), this car still
looks and drives as it did when new. Judged 96 out of 100 in the
CORSA Senior Division a few years ago. Owner's books, hang tags,
period advertisement, service records and original protect-o-plate
included Easily the nicest and best-optioned Corvair we've seen.
