Here exists as opportunityto assemble and restore a cool cruising classic and completely matched convertible.This 1966 Chevrolet Corvair Corsa offers vintage fun, a great color combo, and the perfect mix of premium and sporty, all for an affordable price. This was supposed to be my retirement project which was interrupted by Covid, don’t let this be your missed opportunity . Many possibilities and options.
Since this Corsa has been mostly disassembled with approximately 88% of the parts included in this auction as well as recently purchased parts and items for restoration e.g. floor pan for passenger side, bottom pan for trunk, 1966 Chevy Corvair IECO intake manifold + Holly Carburetor, Corvair convertible tonneau cover white.Because it has been disassembled it can be modified during restoration to become an electric vehicle, include a different set of seats for the interior (Sebring convertible seats have been successfully installed as an option) customize the engine, or you can just restore it to original grandeur with the included rebuilt engine and matching transaxle(non-rebuild), the possibilities are limitless. The Corvair's styling was GM's take on a European car, and so driving one today turns heads wherever it goes. In fact, Corvair people know that this particular '66 Corsa is an ideal year that gave this updated sleek styling and an upgraded fully independent suspension to truly be like a sports car that came from across the Atlantic.
Part of this sophisticated attitude also comes from the Aztec Bronze paint. It feels like what you get when you want a color that's both bold and a precious metal level premium. And the hint of metallic in the finish radiates in the sunlight, which is ideal for a sunshine-friendly convertible. Everything from the chrome bumpers to the chrome wheelsadd to this attractive shine. Plus, the gold pinstripes contribute to a premium feeling while also highlighting the second-gen Corvair's more angular style.This car has been disassembled with 88% of its parts available for re-assembly (Assembly manual included).
The primo parts available for the restoration and assembly includes rebuilt 140 HP engine w/4 rebuilt carbs, a Clark’sCorvair(black) rag top can be installed or an optional power frame (included). But we all know a car like this is absolutely meant to be enjoyed with the top down. So you'll love how the tan interior really seems to harmonize with the tones of the exterior bronze and gold. It makes for an eye catching total look. The bucket seats up front look like the Strato design found in the Chevelles and later Camaros, so it instantly gives you a sporty feeling. The full round gauge package is very Corvette-like, and you'll love the feeling of a proper four-speed floor shifter. The 164 cubic-inch aluminum flat-six has been rebuilt and can easily be installed. The transaxle has not been rebuilt, but should be checked out. It's the correct displacement and setup for the car, and you'll be glad to see it retain such a factory-correct presentation.
Corvairs weren't muscle cars with all-out horsepower like their other Chevy siblings, and that's because the packaging was engineered to be different. Like a Porsche, the power is better utilized because the motor doesn't turn a long driveshaft. Plus, by keeping the weight over the rear wheels (engine, battery, and spare tire) it has a true traction advantage. So, maximized for utility and a lightweight design makes this Corvair plenty zippy. Plus, these later cars had the revised spring rates, the Corvette-inspired a fully independent rear suspension, larger brakes, and a front stabilizer bar. It makes for a sporty package on a car that runs strong and shifts smoothly. Complete with owner's manual, assembly manual, and maintenance manual and many previously purchased parts for this driver-friendly classic.
For those who already know and appreciate ‘66 Corvairs, I apologize for going into so much detail, but this corvair and it’s parts have been in storage long enough and need to find an owner who can do her justice.
