This 1966 Chevrolet Corvair Corsa convertible is finished in red over black vinyl upholstery and is powered by a rear-mounted 164ci Turbo-Air flat-six paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. Equipment includes a black convertible soft top, polished 14″ wheels, front bucket seats, lap belts, a heater, a digital stereo, and a four-barrel Holley carburetor fed by four chrome intake runners. The seller purchased the car in 2020 and subsequent work consisted of installing a replacement convertible top and an electronic ignition and distributor. This Corvair Corsa convertible is now offered at no reserve with the manufacturer’s literature, spare parts, and a Massachusetts title in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in red and details include a black convertible soft top, a silver tail panel, quad headlights and taillights, bright bumpers and moldings, and dual exhaust outlets. The soft top is said to have been installed in October 2023.
Polished 14″ 12-hole wheels are mounted with 205/60 Futura GLH II Super Sport tires. A full-size spare is located in the engine compartment. The Corvair utilizes a fully independent suspension, and braking is provided by drums at each corner. The seller notes that the car pulls to the left when braking.
The seating surfaces are trimmed in black vinyl upholstery joined by a color-coordinated dashboard, door panels, and carpets. Interior appointments include a center console, front bucket seats, a heater, a floor-mounted shifter, a windshield defroster, a digital stereo, and lap belts.
The two-spoke steering wheel wears an aftermarket wrap and frames a 140-mph speedometer, a 6k-rpm tachometer, an analog clock, and gauges for fuel level, manifold pressure, and cylinder head temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 5k miles, approximately 1k of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The rear-mounted, air-cooled 164ci Turbo-Air flat-six features a four-barrel Holley carburetor fed by individual chrome intake runners. An electronic ignition and distributor are said to have been installed under current ownership. The seller notes a flat spot in engine power when accelerating.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle. Corrosion is visible on underbody components.
