Vehicle Description
Here's one for the lovers of true vintage motoring. This 1960
Chevrolet Corvair 700 sedan has been given quality investments to
keep this feeling like a true 1960s classic. So if you love vintage
details, this really delivers it all, and for quite an affordable
price.
This is the first year for the Corvair, and it debuted something
unique. It stands out with a nearly vent-less front end. And while
this was an economy car, it couldn't resist some sporty style with
the roof's spoiler-like overhang and wraparound rear glass. Plus,
there's just the right amount of brightwork with the chrome
bumpers, factory wheel covers, distinct headlight bezels, and trim
highlighting distinctly crisp body crease that encircles the whole
car. And because this one wants to really drive home the vintage
feeling, it's finished in its factory-correct Horizon Blue. It has
nice coverage, and the added white on the roof gives this added
distinction.
We have restoration photos from 2005 that detail a solid investment
in the interior. It starts with the seats that have a stylish and
smooth blue with the bright white textured insert. So it follows a
similar color theme to the exterior. There are thoughtful details,
like the smooth dash pad, taut headliner, and dark blue carpeting
that fits with the color theme while hiding the dirt. And the door
panels do a terrific job of uniting the full color package. This
has the great vintage feeling, right down to details like the
working AM radio, thin dual-spoke steering wheel, and fold-down
rear seat. Plus, there's something extra cool about the unique
selector fingertip selector for the automatic transmission. Even
the trunk up front has the look of quality with smooth inner
fenders, clean components, a proper mat, and a wrapped full-size
spare.
On a car this correct so far, it's nice to see a well-preserved
engine bay. The correct 140 cubic-inch flat-six has the sharp
presentation of a nice investment later in life to ensure a highly
correct and tidy setup. So it's classily detailed with everything
from the dual carbs to the generator. With no need for a long
driveshaft and maximizing the weight over the rear wheels, Corvairs
have a true traction advantage. So maximized for utility and only
weighing less than 2,500 pounds makes this Corvair plenty
zippy.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual and restoration
photos. This is a great classic presentation offered for an
obtainable price. So if you're looking for an affordable time
machine, don't let this coupe slip away. Call today!!!
