This 1965 Chevrolet Corvair Corsa convertible is powered by a
replacement rear-mounted 164ci flat-six engine paired with a
four-speed manual transmission sending power to the rear wheels.
The engine is equipped with an Isky camshaft, MSD Digital 6AL
ignition box, chrome intake runners and a Holley four-barrel
carburetor. A dual exhaust system is fitted with Flowmaster Flow FX
mufflers. The car has a fully independent suspension and rides on
15-inch American Racing wheels mounted with 235/50 Toyo Proxes
R888R tires. Stopping power is provided by front disc and rear drum
brakes. Originally finished in Tahitian Turquoise, the body was
repainted red and is equipped with a replacement black convertible
soft-top, quad headlights and taillights, dual side mirrors, bright
rocker moldings and bumpers. The interior features black vinyl seat
covers, replaced seat cushions and carpets, a padded dashboard,
heater, windshield defroster, Boss CD stereo, locking glove box and
lap belts. No speakers are installed. A two-spoke steering wheel
fronts a 140-mph speedometer, 6,000-rpm tachometer, analog clock,
and gauges for fuel level, manifold pressure and cylinder-head
temperature. Additional interior features include tinted glass,
Comfort and Convenience Group, and a padded dash. The trim tag
identifies a build date of the sixth week of March at the Los
Angeles, California, assembly plant. According to the seller, the
engine and transmission have been rebuilt.
