Be part of the cool Corvair crowd with this super clean, factory TURBOCHARGED convertible! I know from experience, when you show off any Corvair, the question everyone asks is, "Is it a Spyder?". Well you can absolutely answer YES to this one.
1964 was the pinnacle year for the early design Corvairs and the one many look for. Chevy added the transverse leaf spring to the rear suspension to quell the concerns brought up by the automotive press. Then later, our friend, Ralph that specifically poked fun at the 1960-1963 Corvair suspension design.
Here we have a fantastic example. Beautifully and professionally restored at some point within the last 10-20 years and used as a show car ever since. Finished in rarely seen Saddle Tan Metallic, the original color for this car according to the data plate (Shown in the picture gallery.). A very nice, matching bucket seat interior compliments it very well. I only recall ever seeing a couple of these in this combination. It's quite stunning. The paint is in fantastic condition and shines like new. A small chip on the right rear fender top and a couple of small bubbles on the left door can be seen in the picture gallery but that's it. It's a great presentation overall.
A well optioned car too! A few very rare factory accessories are included....
Dash mounted clock
Wooden steering wheel
Remote outside mirror
Full tinted glass
Three prong wire caps
Convenience group
Front seat belts
Padded dashboard
Four speed transmission
The black convertible top appears BRAND NEW and is manually operated and works smoothly. A boot cover is included as well. Car passes Massachusetts safety inspection with no issues and has brand new front ball joints installed. Tires are correct and have very few miles on them. They are about 2 years old.
Runs and drives great. No real issues other than typical Corvair stuff. A tad hard starting after sitting overnight. A drip of oil here and there as you'd expect but nothing that needs immediate attention or any attention at all. I sell old cars for a living. They ALL have their little idiosyncrasies. Corvairs in particular are a but fussy at times. I sell a lot of these little cars. They are a blast to own. There is a very dedicated support group out there for them and they are growing in popularity and value. Just know you need to find those who know these cars. Your average mechanic might not want to touch it. They are different. That's to me, why they are so special!
This is a great one. One that many aspire to. A great price too. The perfect entry into the hobby!
