This 1965 Chevrolet Corvair Corsa convertible was refurbished under prior ownership, and the factory Mist Blue over fawn vinyl pairing was changed to red over black vinyl upholstery. The car is powered by a rear-mounted 164ci Turbo-Air flat-six mated with a four-speed manual transaxle and equipment includes a white convertible soft top, 13″ steel wheels with simulated wire wheel covers and faux knock-off hubs, a telescopic antenna, front bucket seats, a padded dashboard, an AM radio, a heater, and a windshield defroster. The selling dealer acquired the car in 2022. This Corvair Corsa convertible is now offered with the manufacturer’s literature, a Concours ribbon, and a clean Missouri title.
