Power comes from a 1966-specification replacement powerplant, specifically a 164ci/140hp flat 6-cylinder engine, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. It is also equipped with a center-mount 4-barrel carburetor, giving the car an added performance-oriented feel while keeping with the fun, sporty character the Corvair is known for.
A number of important service items have already been addressed, including new seals for the transaxle, new hub bearings, new ball joints and universal joints, and new brakes with a split master cylinder. Those updates help make this Corvair a more confidence-inspiring car to drive and enjoy.
The presentation was also improved with a new convertible top installed by Steve Bell of Laytonsville, Maryland, along with new carpets, helping the interior and top area feel fresh and finished. Combined with the attractive exterior color, the result is a Corvair Convertible that shows well and stands apart from the crowd.
If you have been looking for a Corvair Convertible with the right color combination, a 4-speed, strong mechanical attention, and a nicely presented overall look, this 1965 Chevrolet Corvair is a very appealing example.
