1965 CHEVROLET CORVAIR

In 1965, Chevrolet introduced the second generation of the Corvair. This new generation featured an improved suspension that placed coil springs at all four wheels, dropping the previous generations swing arm rear suspension that had earned the Corvair a lot of negative publicity. Freed of the stability problems of the first generation, Chevrolet's new Corvair was an economical, fun to drive, and sporty economy car. The engine is a 164 cubic inch rear mounted air cooled flat six making 110 horsepower. This unique engine was mated to a two speed "Powerglide" automatic transmission, offering smooth, almost undetectable shifts. The new suspension was based off of the contemporary Corvette Stingrays, except the Corvair featured coil springs instead of the Corvette's transverse leaf spring. The new improved braking system was borrowed from the Chevelle and significantly increased the Corvair's stopping power, ensuring the new Corvair was able to come to a quick stop should the fun get out of hand. 1965 also marked the first use of an alternator in the Corvair, replacing the bulky low output generator from the previous years. The beautiful Corvair convertible you see here has everything you could want in a 60's convertible. The bahama blue paint color is accented with two silver racing stripes, giving a real sporty appeal. Drop the top down and check out that awesome two tone blue interior. They really don't make them with this much style anymore. This Corvair is equipped with ice cold A/C to help keep you cool on those hot days, and the stereo has been upgraded to a more modern AM/FM cassette unit so you can enjoy that favorite song that really gets you going!!! If you want to own the only American designed, mass produced, super stylish, air cooled car to ever be produced, then hurry in and take this classy chassis home today!!
