Used Chevrolet Corvair for Sale near Des Moines, IA

One of the most dependable and funnest cars I have owned. Always started. Always got me where I wanted to go. Absolutely fantastic in the snow. Gas mileage was decent. Nothing bad to say about the Chevrolet Corvair!!! Go Corvair!

I currently am on my second Corvair (also had a '69 Monza coupe) and these cars can't be beat if you're looking for a reliable, economical classic car that handles like Corvette, gets gas mileage like a Falcon, looks like a miniature Impala, and rides and brakes better than a Chevelle. Working on the car is as easy as it get, and virtually every part is available from Corvair vendors. I'd recommend the Late models (1966-69) models for better safety features and the Corvette rear suspension. Also, the Late models are all hardtops or convertibles, no sedans were even available, and they have the Coke bottle profile the resembles a '67 Camaro. These cars are unique in that they have an air-cooled, rear-mounted aluminum-block "boxer" Six, with your choice of automatic or manual transmission, air conditioning, and other deluxe options that make it fun to drive. Take one of these on the highway and watch everyone turn and smile while you pass them!

The car is quick but not a very high top speed. Typical old car, but easy to work on. Love the styling but my paint sucks..one of these days It'll be redone. It gets decent mileage, even with a hot rebuilt engine. And of course, it's fun as hell to drive!

Beautiful with the top up or down. Changed all the suspension bushings to racing-grade nylon, so it handled like a go-cart on rails. Minor engine tweaks - very reliable, decent gas mileage, turned heads everywhere. Actually saw someone wreck into a mailbox looking at my car!

The corvairs were created in 1960 to compete with the new, tiny, rear-engined VW beetles. For a while, the cars were immensely popular, but when Ralph Nader's book came out "Unsafe at any Speed", many americans were convinced that the corvairs were death traps. Coincidently, 1965--the year the book came out--was the same year that GM addressed many of the car's complaints, such as its sub par suspension and steering column, which Chevrolet entirely replaced.
