I took a quick peek at the Corvantics website and found the following.
It was built in October 1960 - St Louis The first s/n for that month was: S100667

Yes that’s correct, it’s mine 🤓.
I sent the picture and info to Corvanatics ☺️.

Was hoping to maybe find some more info, like the date of build and such, but i guess that’s s long stretch 😇

In regards to NorwayCorvair's Green Loadside, 1R124S100775, this is one of the earlist FC builds. The "S" means it was a assembled at the St Louis factory. The serial number 775 means it rolled off the assembly line the first week of October 1960. I'm sure it has some usual early FC features.

Is there any back history known for the verhicle?

Here's another Loadside worth going to look at.

Clearly it is a 1961 not a 65...looks like deluxe!

Chrome bumper, windshield trim, and reflectors.

I know we have at least one CF here in 1000 Oaks.

Awesome! Thanks for the info!

It was imported to Sweden back in 2015.
Never got registred there, and just sat.
I bought it in November and going thru it now for inspection and plates here in Norway.
All new in the brakes, bushings etc etc etc.

It came out of the San Fransisco area in 2015, more precise Bethel Island, Contra Costa County, and bought of a gentlemen named Ben Joseph Mozzetti.

From my understanding he has since passed.
Sent a DM to San Fransisco Bay Area Corsa Corvair but not heard from them. Would love to find out more about it !

I need to get myself some money and a bigger trailer and maybe a few more acres to bribe my wife with farm animals so I can have a few projects like this.

Looking at these pictures again I see another Deluxe item...passenger side sunvisor.

Spyder instrument cluster and glove box door not original but certainly vairy usable.

That's because it is a rare pre-production Spyder optioned Loadside!

Only one made, oh, and not by GM... :rolling:

That looks so much better than my 1961 Rampside. :doh:

Glad to see a Loadside in Norway. Spread the love! :tu: :chevy:
