1966 Chevrolet Corvair

GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1966 Chevrolet Corvair Corsa Clone Convertible for your consideration. This Corvair comes in a clean Regal Red paint job complemented by a black leather interior and matching black soft top. Powering this mid-engine Chevy is a 2.7 Liter 140HP flat 6 cylinder paired to a well shorted 4-speed manual transmission. This Corvair features new shocks, new springs, new radio, a new battery, a new soft top, a Corsa dash, Corsa Trim, a working heater, a wooden steering wheel, BFG tires, and many more other options. So if you are in the market for a nice weekend cruiser this Corvair is the ride for you!

New refinements appeared on the 1965 redesign. The Corsa came standard with an instrument panel featuring a 140 mph (230 km/h) speedometer with resettable trip odometer, a 6,000 rpm tachometer, cylinder head temperature gauge, analog clock with a sweeping second hand, a manifold vacuum/pressure gauge and fuel gauge. A much better heater system, larger brakes borrowed from the Chevelle, a stronger differential ring gear, an alternator (replacing the generator), and significant chassis refinements were made. A new fully articulated rear suspension virtually eliminated the danger of the previous generation's swing axles and was based on the contemporary Corvette Sting Ray (Corvair used coil springs while the Sting Ray uses a transverse leaf). Additionally, an AM/FM stereo radio, in-dash All Weather Air Conditioning, telescopically adjustable steering column, and a Special Purpose Chassis Equipment ("Z17") handling package, consisting of a special performance suspension and quick ratio steering box, were new options for 1965. The Monza and Corvair 500 Sports Sedans were the only compact cars ever available in the U.S. as pillarless four-door hardtops.
