For auction, a 1963 Chevrolet Corvair 900 2 door coupe showing 39,076 miles, but the true miles are unknown. This classic compact car presents in good condition and runs and drives. There's a robust network of Corvair enthusiasts around the country that includes clubs and aftermarket support.

Exterior
The once shimmering Silver Blue two stage paint now presents with patina, faded panels, and some staining by the fuel door, but in general, the body appears straight. Both chrome bumpers are in very good condition and the rocker trim is intact. The dual tail lights are missing their lenses and the right headlights are missing the distinctive bezel. The roofline is bubble-like with no B-pillar and curved glass at both ends. Some emblems are missing but the dealership emblem is still present under the louvered deck lid.

Interior
The blue interior is a mix of nice components along with those with patina or damage. The door panels are worn especially where ornamental buttons would be and the vinyl is a bit tattered. The driver's bucket seat is in very good condition while the passenger bucket and rear bench show staining and some tears. The upper of the rear bench is a nice shape however. Patina coats the steering wheel and dash but the instrument cluster remains fairly nice. The AM radio is missing some knobs and the glove box door is missing. The front trunk is barren and generally clean with a few rust spots and housing several reservoirs.

Drivetrain
In back, and next to the spare tire, is a 145ci flat six cylinder, air cooled and producing 102 horsepower with dual 1-barrel carburetors onboard. A Powerglide 2-speed automatic keeps the power out back and routes it through 3.55 gears.

Undercarriage
Dual exhaust comes off of the flat six and enters a stock style muffler before exiting through a single pipe. Coil spring suspension is up front and a swing arm with coil springs occupy the rear. Drum brakes are on all four wheels.

Drive-Ability
The car starts and drives well through our short course and on old tires, we limit the distance. We notice the throttle sticks and the horn is not working, but this car otherwise functions well.
