Vehicle Detail

Up for auction is my '65 Corsa daily driver, all-year round. NO RESERVE. 140hp runs very well, no issues at all, starts immediately. No hot-start issues. 4sp shifts very well, no issues. Clutch is beginning to slip, my estimate is that it will need repalcement in 5K miles. Throwout bearing and pilot bushing making no noises. Oddities: No radio, has been replaced with compass and exterior temp display (see picture)3.08 rear axle. Stock is 3.57, so this car gets exceptional mileage.Oil filter has been relocated and uses a (very available) FORD V8 filter.rear defroster.Window antenna for the radio you can add. Speakers in rear deck.Front disc brakesBuick 14" rims. The good:Engine is outstanding, ride is good. Drifts a bit and a slight shimmy at 40 mph. Front end parts are less than two years old. Suspect steering box could use attention.Interior is excellent. Door panels near-perfect, seats excellent, are from a 92 Alero. Leather, driver's is power. Almost 16 inches front-back travel. Both sides recline. Headliner excellent. Dash pad perfect. Steering wheel had no cracks. Underside is very good. Heater works fine. All glass is perfect, front and rear bumpers excellent. Stainless trim good to very good. Entire interior floorpan was PORd when the car was painted (8 years ago). The (less) good:Body is awful. All the wheel well lips are rusting, as is the front fenders and rear lower quarters. Typical Corvair bottom-of-windshield rust. Doors good, not great. Typical kick-vent leakage after a heavy rain.
