1964 Corvair Spyder Convertible

1964 Chevrolet Corvair Spyder Description

I have owned this car 3 years and enjoyed making it better every year! A nice running car when I bought it from a Corvair lover in Nebraska. (Read the story which appeared in the Washington Times newspaper here:) http://www.vernparker.com/home/2014/7/7/1964-corvair-monza-spyder-convertible.html

It is now a great running Corvair with 66,968 miles! As you can see in the photos, I need room in my home garage for my next toy so the Spyder is for sale!

I have a lien free Virginia title in my name and the VIN on the title matches the VIN plate on the car.TheDATA plate in the engine compartment confirms a true Spyder, the original colors (SEE PHOTO) and the YR engine number confirms it to bethe correct,164 ci Turbo engine. Included is my large file folder of all parts and labor bills spent on the carplus complete, original shop manuals and owners manual.A box ofspare parts will also go with the car (most new).

The car is an original Spyder, Tuxedo black with red interior, convertible. It took me a YEAR of searching to find this particular combination for sale! Very rare!

The wire wheels and knockoffs are original factory Kelsey Hays (not repro) in good condition. They may or may not have been on the car from the factory. I have no way of knowing.The knockoff spinners while perfectly functional, have been abused by use of a steel (instead of lead/copper)hammer. Knockoffs from a 1962 Corvette fit perfect and are sometimes available as repros.

I have replaced almost all exterior chrome, New Maxxis P185/80 R13 radial tires, new carpet,front and rear seat covers, and tonneau cover.

The motor has been re-sealed and doesnot leak oil at this time. Work done by Corvair Ranch in PA.

Rear suspension has been rebuilt as needed including new coil springs.

Spring loaded belt fan idler with new bearing and new aluminum pulley.

8 Track tape deck (NOS Panasonic) and some 8 Track tapes.

All new Heater hoses. Works great!

Light surface rust on interior floors was wire brushed, complete floor painted with POR 15 sealerand soundproofing layedbefore installing all new carpet.

Seat track extensions installed for more leg room and tall drivers.

Brake system fully rebuilt. Turbo Carb was rebuilt. Fuel pump replaced.

Many other items are rebuilt or replaced and too numerous to mention here. The car runs and drives great. The Turbo spools up as it should. The top is older (installed before I got it). However, no tears, seals are good and rear window is clear. No cracks in any glass. All gauges function but speedometer reads 10 mph fast.

The exterior paint is what I would call an average repaint.This IS NOT a concours car. I have restored cars professionally for 40 years and I know the difference. However, as you can see in the photos, it still looks very, verynice. Draws a crowd everywhere I stop. The social conversation and storiesare great fun!

Both the trunk and engine compartment are still in factory original paint and can easily be up graded on Sunday afternoons by the next owner/caretaker. NO rust holes anywhere, just a little surface rust to be cleaned and painted over.

Almost all parts I replaced on the car were purchased from Clark's Corvair. If you don't know them, they have EVERYTHING for this car!
