We went to look at a 1964 corvair today, 61k actual miles, 4spd, 3rd owner. Re-spray an unknown # of yrs ago, newer roof, unknown # of yrs ago, original interior, black roof and interior on red exterior. Some flaws in the paint, scratches, nicks. I couldn't find a bit of rust on it. Really. What you see is what the car is. Panel gaps are good, with exception of drivers door, which closes hard. ? if the chrome trim on the door is getting in the way, or if the door just needs an adjustment. Or does this point to something more? A little oil on the engine/trans, has a "nader bar" installed. Started on one crank, clutch was smooth, brakes soft. Was converted to dual master cyl, and blade style fuses. Had a groovy 8 track player, OEM radio is included. OEM jack and washer fluid bottle are there! What does anyone think about the condition, what do I need to look for if we go back, and value?

'64s have swing axle transaxles, '65s went to the Corvette style half shafts.
