Finnish Chevrolet Corvair 1960

Post by Frankken »

Hello everyone,

As promised here are some pictures of my 1960 Corvair. Got the engine running today for the first time in 25 years and fortunately it run very well. Just going to repair the body now and then it should be fit to take for a ride! :)

Best regards

Thank you. Haven't had time to check the breaks and there is a bit rust under it that needs to be fixed first. But after that I will drive it. :)

Nice project car. I like the driving lights and the two tone paint.
Love those air cooled engines, they come to life pretty easily.

Thank you! I like the color of the car too but I still have to repaint it. It's not the original color and it is very damaged. The rear lights are not original either.
