DESCRIPTION
STK 3872 1966 Chevrolet Corvair
The original Corvair was introduced by GM in 1960 as a \'sporty compact. It was the most unique car GM had ever put into production. There was a 2-door coupe and 4-door sedan, both with air-cooled flat-6 engines mounted in the rear and backed by either a 2-speed automatic or 3-4 speed manual rear transaxle. In 1965, GM introduced the Gen2 Corvair - much more stylish and comfortable. This \'66 Corvair coupe is an outstanding, original example of the base no-frills Corvair 500 model. The factory Willow Green finish is still in overall good condition; however, there are a few blemishes in the paint. Factory 13\" steel wheels have factory dog-dish hubcaps and mount nice Maxxis radial tires. Chrome and stainless are excellent. The fawn tan vinyl interior is in good condition. The basic 500 package included all-rubber floor mats and this car was also radio delete. The Corvair is equipped with seat belts, an option in \'65. Power is furnished by an air-cooled 164ci flat-six that was built with a steel crank, alloy cylinders and aluminum heads. It is equipped with an oil cooler and was rated at 95hp/155lb-ft. The engine is said to have never been rebuilt and it sounds strong. The Corvair is equipped with the 3-speed all-synchro manual transaxle, manual steering and manual drum brakes. Recent major service has been performed on steering components, the brake system (including dual master) and the shifter mechanism. This Corvair is a piece of GM history taken from the dynamic era of American \'compact cars\' - the \'60s. ALL VEHICLES SOLD \"AS IS\".
