1964 Corvair Rampside pickup. Final year they built this truck, and it's very rare. Chevy only built 851 of them in 1964. This is not a show truck; it's a daily driver work truck. But it starts, runs, shifts, and stops just like it should. Powerglide 2-speed automatic transmission. Everything works except for the cigarette lighter. I mean wipers, horn, turn signals, brake lights, etc. Steers nice and tight, brakes even and safely, just passed inspection. Heater works, but for some reason the fan only is off or high. I don't know if the fan motor is bad, or the switch. But it gets plenty warm from just the engine fan. The truck is not perfect. There's some rust under the corner of the driver's side of the cab, and a previous owner riveted in metal. If I were keeping it I'd probably cut and weld that. It also had a spotlight installed on the driver's side, and big side mirrors that I removed, so there's holes that I covered with black duct tape. It easily runs 70+ on the interstate, and it's stable and tracks true. Brand new tires. Chevy rally wheels. I expected these trucks to be really slow, but this runs 0-60 about as fast as the Corvair sedan with PG. The odometer is showing 79K miles, but I don't know if that's original or not. The motor is an original truck block (oil filler out the back access door), but it's not original to this truck. I don't know when it was swapped; it was that way when I bought it. It starts and runs without burning oil or leaking. Extras: I've got new Clarks armrests for it, and windshield weatherstrip. What's in there now was leaking when it rained, so I ordered new ones and never installed them, because some silicone caulk seemed to solve the problem. I've also got the windshield washer nozzle, and a few other odds and ends. The truck has been worked on by Corvair Ranch in Gettysburg, PA (rebuilt carbs, brakes, starter ring on the torque converter, converted back to generator from alternator). I've owned the truck for about three years. I'm selling it because I recently bought a 1960 Corvair 700 Club Coupe that's taking all my attention, so the Rampside hasn't been driven much lately. Would make a great restoration project, or just a nice looking daily driver as is. People always stop me to ask about this truck, because it's so unusual. I've also got it for sale locally, so I may end the auction early if it sells here. For shipping purposes, the closest pick-up spot would be Berkeley Springs, WV.
