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?

The car looks to be in decent shape. Verts always bring more cash. The trunk may have been painted over, maybe not. That was what they looked like when new. I've had a bunch of Corvairs over the years. Loved them. That one has leaking pushrod tubes, real common but real easy to fix also. 64's are a good year, the looks of the original design, but the larger 2.7 liter engine and improved suspension. They sound great with a nice set of dual exhausts and the motor bottom end is really strong.
