Vehicle Detail

Up for auction 1969 Corvair 500 2 door hardtop. This Carvair has only 4546 miles and has not been on the road since 1971. The car was in one family and went to the son after the death of his father. I purchased the car from the son's estate. It is all original except for the gas tank and sending unit that I replaced due to it having junk in the bottom of the tank. I do have the original tank and it will go with the sale of the car if the owner would like it and also the original battery that is in poor shape but very interesting with vented caps (check pictures). I have the original window sticker and protec-o-plate and several other papers from the dealer where the car was purchased. The car although having such low miles is not without some flaws. It had good storage but not great storage. Both sides of the car had things stacked next to it and has suffered some dings and chips along both sides. I don't think they should be fixed due to the fact that the car is so original. It has the original tires but they do have flat spots and some cracking and I would not drive any distance on them. It will need the brakes done and a good tune-up. It has a sticky valve that losens up when it is run for a few miniutes and that has been better each time I start it. I'm sure it will be fine with an oil change and run more often. The lifters are quite and make no noise. I have driven it around my driveway and it shifts fine and will be easy to load. The interior is very good and with more cleaning could be outstanding. The trunk area is also like new. I did not clean the engine compartment as I wanted everyone to see the original condition. The underside is in good shape but does show surface rust but no holes and is very solid. I will say there are quite a few cob webs! This Corvair is a real time piece and I hope someone that really appreciates original cars will purchase this Corvair. How rare is it to find such a low mileage car espically a Corvair! I will be happy to answer any questions you might have and strongly encourage you to come and see the car for yourself or have someone look at it for you. The car speaks for itself and I have nothing to hid. I can be reached at 570-460-8395 EST or email at rrutherford@usa.net. Vehicle is sold as-is and must be removed from my property within 30 days of auction close. I will except as payment personal check, bank check, bank wire transfer or cash in person. All funds must clear my bank before the vehicle and title are released. I require a non-refundable deposit of $500.00 within 72 hours of auction close, pay-pal ok for deposit. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time as the car is also for sale locally.
