I AM SELLING THIS CORVAIR THAT BELONGED TO MY FATHER WHO PASSED AWAY ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO. THE CAR IS IN FAIRLY GOOD SHAPE CONSIDERING IT'S 45 YEARS OLD--I HAVE CHECKED PRICES FOR THE ODDS & ENDS IT NEEDS--AND HAVE COMPARED IT TO OTHERS AVAILABLE--I AM NOT SETTING SOME RIDICULOUS RESERVE PRICE BASED ON WHAT THE "COLLECTORS CAR"PRICE GUIDES SUGGEST--IT IS GOING TO GO TO THE PERSON WHO COUGHS UP THE DOUGH FOR IT FIRST!! THE LEVEL OF INTEREST THIS VEHICLE CREATES TELLS ME THAT THE PERSON BUYING IT WILL BE MUCH MORE INFORMED TO THE CARS HISTORY--EVOLUTION--ETC. WHAT I WILL DO IS TELL YOU WHAT I SEE IT NEEDS AND THE PICS SHOULD HELP. IT HAS SAT IN THE GARAGE FOR THE LAST 6 YEARS SO IT OBVIOUSLY HAS SOME ISSUES WHICH ARE NOT DEAL KILLERS BASED ON THE FACT THAT PEOPLE WHO BUY THESE CARS ARE AWARE THERE IS SOME RESTORATION TO DO WHICH IS PART OF THE FUN-RIGHT? DOOR SEALS NEED REPLACING-- BRAKES NEED TO BE BLED--INTERIOR-HEADLINER-REAR BAGGAGE AREA NEEDS TO BE REPLACED--MINOR FIXES--COSMETICS ETC. BODYWORK ON PASSENGER SIDE--LESS THAN PERFECT-- SOME CRACKING EVIDENT--BUT I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS A RUST ISSUE--IT RUNS,SOUNDS STRONG AT IDLE, A LITTLE ROUGHNESS THROUGH MID RPM THEN CLEARS ITS THROAT-IT HAS AN OIL LEAK ON THE LEFT SIDE- EXACT ORIGIN? DON'T KNOW. TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THE PICTURES AND E-MAIL YOUR QUESTIONS-- I WILL DO MY BEST TO RESPOND TO ALL INQUIRIES TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY-- I AM NO MECHANIC-NOR EXPERT-- BUT YOU PROBABLY ARE. I JUST NEED TO MAKE SOME ROOM AS THIS IS CAR # 5 AND THE FIRST ONE UP FOR SALE.On Aug-16-10 at 22:23:39 PDT, seller added the following information:I just want potential buyer that this is not a drive away type vehicle. The car will be trucked-trailered or towed by the buyer-reasons being many--safety--brakes needs attention--legal--tags/ins. Yes the car runs,the lights work,the glass is intact and good,tires-good,clutch feels firm and engages well,and the shifter isn't all sloppy. The Corvair WAS a daily driver and in the process of restoration,until Dad got sick and then passed away before it was done.But after 5 yrs. it obviously needs to be tuned-up,all fluids changed etc. before it's ready to roll! I'll post some new pics. to check out,underside&interior & a couple more exterior. This Corvair WILL SELL-The fixes seems to be minor(typical Corvair issues-you know)and fairly inexpensive-Great for D.I.Y's -Good Luck!
