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?

My first wife had a 63, 90 hp, I drove it flat out from Daytonia Beach to N.W. Ohio

burnt up a set of valves. But it was usual to do a set twice a yr. anyway. That was

before they put in Stelite ( sp ) faced valves. Run a compression check,asap.

As for the paint , it,s checking do to way to much paint. It needs to be taken down

to bare metal !

There was a Black 64 for sale in our town, $5,000.00 i tryed to buy it but was to late.

NOTHING will replace a 914, but It mite be a nice car to own. All depends on

PRICE !!!

Get in the trunk and underneath with a ice pick, compression check, figure a good

repaint,and bodywork + 15 0/0 for what you missed. Then let your conscience and

Wallet be your guide ! Dave (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif)
