1964 Chevrolet Corvair 24k miles with Air Conditioning Air Cooled 6 Powerglide

During 1959 and 1960, the Big Three automakers planned to introduce their own "compact" cars. Most of these designs were scaled-down versions of the conventional American car, using four- or six-cylinder engines instead of V8s, and with bodies about 20% smaller than their standard cars.

An exception to this strategy was the Chevrolet Corvair. Led by General Manager Cole, Chevrolet designed a revolutionary new car. It was powered by an air-cooled horizontal six-cylinder engine made almost entirely out of aluminum. The engine was mounted in the rear of the car, driving the rear wheels through a compact transaxle. Suspension was independent at all four wheels. There was no conventional frame, it was the first Unibody built by Fisher Body. The tires were an entirely new wide low-profile design. The styling was unconventional for Detroit: subtle and elegant, with no tailfins or chrome grille. Its engineering earned numerous patents, while Time magazine put Ed Cole and the Corvair on the cover, and Motor Trend named the Corvair as the 1960 "Car of the Year".

Pulling away in this car is like stepping back in time! 1964 is a very desirable year for Corvair enthusiasts as it is the last year for the Gen 1 body style but the first year for the updated rear (non swing axle) suspension.

This air cooled 1964 Corvair has just 24,000 original miles on the odometer! As far as I can tell, the paint is mostly original. Sure, it has its share of blemishes, a faded area on top of the drivers door, scuffs, and scratches, but for a 53 year old car it is in remarkable condition inside and out! It is loaded with options including a fold down rear seat, powerglide transmission, push button AM radio, and AIR CONDITIONING!!!! The A/C Works!! To be honest, you'll need to give it a quick shot of freon once a year, but other than that the A/C system keeps you cool. The seats and headliner are original. We replaced the original carpeting a couple of years ago with the correct GM loop style. The car starts, runs and drives beautifully! It is a car you can drive anywhere and even daily.... As rust free as you will likely find in a 50+ year old classic.
