1967 Chevrolet Corvair

327 SBC

Clear

67 CORVAIR with an SBC 327 installed in the rear-seat area via a KELMARK bellhousing. This vehicle was running (under V8 power) until we decided to rebuild the engine. We lost our workspace and are tired of paying to store it. Our original plan was to get everything worked out and running then transfer the drivetrain to a perfect-body late model Corvair. This is an almost-complete project for a street racer. Rebuilt 327 (about 5 years ago has never been fired. 4 speed, Saginaw. Exhaust is complete. Body is in need of minor repair and paint. See the pictures. The trunk and hood lids are excellent, the rear quarters and doors very good. Rear grill is missing. Needs body work for lower pass front fender (pic), both lower Qs (pic) and front of pass fender (pic). All glass is good, no cracks or chips. Front and rear bumpers are good. Stainless trim is good. Wheels and tires are good. U-joints are new. No battery. A new aluminum radiator is supplied but not installed. The radiator was mounted in the original engine compartment and fan-driven. We did not want to cut-up the front end. The cooling was adequate and the car did not overheat. Fans are not included. Original pressure place and clutch cover were re-surfaced and a new friction disk installed. New internally regulated alternator and distributor are included but not installed. There is no interior or dash. A section of the dash was cut out. It was transferred to another Corvair that had a rusted-out vent area. The reverse would be necessary to restore this one. The fix was seamless on the recipient car: no reason to expect differently on this one. Simple body work, same as for other areas that need attention. Shift linkage needs to be built. The engine and transaxle mounts are all done and very cleanly installed. There are no unfinished or sharp sheet metal edges as found in many of these conversions. See the pics. Title is clear. There is no lock cylinder for the trunk or ignition key. Door panels, vent panels, visors, dash pad and instrument panel are in the trunk, in good condition. The firewall is drilled for a hydraulic clutch and there is a lever there to actuate but the actual MC and slave cylinder are gone. This project must be flatbed-trailered from Arlington Heights, Il, about 40 miles NW of Chicago. This is a PROJECT. It will require an above-average knowledge of mechanical things to complete. If you are not up to the task, please do not bid. If you don't have your wife's approval, please do not bid. If you don't have the money, do not bid. This is your chance to finish a Corvair V8 at a VERY LOW PRICE.
