For Sale: 1965 Chevrolet Corvair in Rowley, Massachusetts

"With a curve-hugging, fully independent suspension, over 1 horsepower for each of its 164 cubic inches of displacement and a 2,500-lb. curb weight, the Corsa was and remains a pony car alternative for iconoclasts. A dedicated, enthusiastic club scene, helpful restoration specialists and a bountiful new and used parts supply make these second-generation Corvairs some of the most fun, unique performance cars of the 1960s to restore and drive."-Hemmings
