About This Chevrolet Corvair

1965 Chevrolet Corvair – Upgraded Classic with Vintage Charm
This 1965 Chevrolet Corvair is a thoughtfully upgraded and well-maintained example of Chevrolet’s unique air-cooled classic. Owned since 2007, the car has received extensive mechanical and cosmetic improvements that enhance performance and comfort while preserving its vintage character.
Under the hood sits a 140-horsepower, air-cooled flat-six engine, enhanced with dual Holley Weber 32/36 carburetors for improved throttle response. Power is delivered through a rebuilt 4-speed manual transmission, complete with new clutch plate, throw-out bearing, solid flywheel, and pressure plate for smooth and reliable shifting. A 3.55 rear end balances acceleration and cruising comfort.
The suspension has been refreshed, including new front and rear shocks, coil springs, universal joints, and bushings. Braking performance is improved with updated front brake components.
Inside, the cabin blends vintage charm with modern convenience. New carpet and headliner were installed by Kent's Auto Upholstery, complemented by a custom leather steering wheel and a RetroSound AM/FM Bluetooth radio with Kenwood rear speakers for contemporary audio.
Visually, the car stands out with 100-spoke wire wheels, giving it a distinctive presence on the road. This Corvair offers a perfect balance of originality, period-correct upgrades, and personal touches, ready to enjoy daily or at car shows.
