OK, I get it. A 1964 Corvair isn't the most intriguing classic car, especially considering the '60s was about other Chevy models that brought home the bacon (I'm looking at you, Impala), but I believe spending less than you'd pay for an iPhone to save a survivor is worth it.
And yet, this 1964 Corvair has a hard time finding a new owner. The car was posted on eBay last week, but the auction failed to attract a single bid.
The rough shape is the first thing you'll notice when looking at this Corvair. I'm not the biggest fan of photos with filters on top, but the images posted by seller rl6866 still reveal the challenging condition of this Chevrolet Corvair. The car needs body work, and I wouldn't expect the floors to come with good news.
The Corvair looks like it's been sitting for a long time, and in terms of rust, it means the floors and the trunk pan might be wrecked. Your best option, if you believe this Corvair is worth a shot, is to inspect every inch of metal in person.
The owner admits the car has been parked for a long time, but they do not reveal additional details. Most likely, it's a project sitting in someone's yard and waiting for a complete restoration, so now it's up to the WWW to rescue it.
The big news, which should allow the Corvair to find a new home easily, comes from the engine bay. The vehicle rolled off the assembly lines with a six-cylinder unit in charge of putting the wheels in motion, and the same mill is in the car, running and driving. The engine alone should make this Corvair a daily driver candidate, especially because you wouldn't have to pay a fortune to buy a car you can drive occasionally.
The 1964 Corvair received an increased engine displacement to 164ci, allowing for a power increase to 95 horsepower on the base engine. Customers ordering the upgraded engine got a power increase from 102 to 110 horsepower – it's not massive, but you can feel it on a car this light. Sure enough, the Spyder continued to be everybody's favorite choice with a 150-horsepower rating. I recently came across such a Spyder, so if you want the best of the best available in 1964, this example is worth checking out.
Unfortunately, this Corvair can't even convince an Internet stranger to take it home for parts, as the auction failed a few minutes ago. The owner wanted just $900 for the car, so if you believe this rough Corvair deserves a chance, maybe you can still save it at the last minute. You can see the car in Whitesboro, New York, though I believe the seller also listed the car outside eBay, so it could find a new home any minute now.
