I am selling this 1966 Corsa for a long time friend of mine who had owned it for well over 30 years. He has owned many Corvairs over the years, and this coupe and a 1965 Corsa turbo convertible are the best two of his cars and both were primarily used in corvair club events ,primarily being car shows in the area. He took pride in both of these cars and they were always maintained in top condition. This is a stunning coupe that looks fantastic and shows why the late corvair is one of the best body designs to come out of GM in the 60s. Light weight, strong unit construction and fully independent suspension and and great high winding 4 carb engine make these models a blast to drive today. This car is a numbers matching coupe and is an original Corsa (willow run produced) with a 140 HP engine(TO224RB).The paint code is N-N Madeira Maroon. 7,330 Corsa coupes were built in the US in 1966, the last year for the Corsa model 737. Most corvair people consider 1966 corvairs the best year built with the most improvements . The engine was completely rebuilt approximately 10 years ago at 72,872 miles and slightly modified , and it is smooth and fast. . I have a complete list of work performed at that time. It has re-jetted carbs and electronic Ignition. The brakes are good and it stops straight. It has a dual master cylinder upgrade. The exhaust is a fully welded Clarks system. This car has been in South Carolina for all of its life and the structure and underside is very clean and has not been covered up with paint or undercoat . There has been a small rust repair done at the battery tray area. The paint is in good to above average condition It is 8 to 10 years old and shows a few scratches here and there . It looks great and is a top notch finish ,except for 3 areas .The left rear behind the tire has some small paint bubbles ,along with both lower fenders just forward of the doors. Also there is a very small spot below the windshield right side fender. The last 4 photos show the areas. The bumpers show some minor wear and a couple scratches ,with one spot of weathering on the right front. Most all of the other trim and moldings are excellent. The interior shows no issues other than a blemish on the drivers door panel . But a new door panel is included with the sale. The headliner is great original , dash pad is perfect, as is the carpet and seat upholstery. The drivers seat is a little soft and may need some new padding to make it like new. There are no tears . The rear area is carpeted and looks very nice. The radio has a power antenna installed so the car cover fits snug. The tires and wheels are 14" chevy steel wheels with 205 70 14 tires. If you have any questions regarding the corsa feel free to ask ,I can also supply the owners contact info .

I hope that this has not caused a problem .
