1963 Chevrolet Corvair in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

1963 Chevrolet Corvair 900 Coupe

NO RESERVE

HAS TITLE

Led by General Manager Edward N. Cole, Chevrolet designed a revolutionary new car. It was powered by an air cooled horizontal six cylinder engine made almost entirely out of aluminum. The engine was mounted in the rear of the car, driving the rear wheels through a compact transaxle. Suspension was independent at all four wheels.

Up for auction, a 1963 Chevrolet Corvair 900 2 door coupe with unknown true miles, presenting nicely inside and out. The engine cranks but will not start.

Exterior
Distinctive dual headlights in their aluminum bezel stand out from the single stage red paint that coats this car and its low profile, square edges, and sporty roofline. A louvered rear hatch is there for heat extraction and quad tail lights, a hallmark of all Corvairs, take in the reverse lights on the inboard lenses over a straight chrome bumper that gently wraps the corners. 13-inch wheels have the proper wheel covers here and are wrapped in 185/80R13 white wall tires.

Interior
Clean black vinyl door cards adorned with ornamental trim pieces occupy the doors and are framed in the body's red paint. Front bucket seats, upright and square, have a pleated insert and some of the same metal ornamentation as the doors and also present cleanly. The rear bench shares the grained vinyl and is in very good condition. A red steering wheel, large and thin by today's standards, front a metal based instrument panel that fits into the dash's cove and has a simple speedometer along with various knobs and indicator lights. An AM radio is central and the metal glove box completes the trio of aluminum based components, all showing some patina. The black loop carpet on the floor is in good shape.

Drivetrain
Under the rear hatch is a driver quality 145ci flat 6 cylinder with dual 1-barrel carburetors and mated to a 2-speed Powerglide automatic transmission that keeps power in the back and through 3.55 gears. Drum brakes are employed on the front and rear wheels.

Undercarriage
Dual exhaust comes off of the flat 6, through a stock style muffler, and exiting through a chrome tip that jogs to the right in back. Independent suspension is configured as coil spring up front and swing axle in back.

Drive-Ability
The vehicle cranks but will not start.
