Talk about bizarro world! This 1961 Corvair was put through the full kustom treatment in the late 1960s or early 1970s and then stored. It’s a time capsule to a world we’re not sure we wanted to be taken back to. Just about every inch of this Corvair was modified somehow, including the nose which looks oddly Mustang-ish to us.
The car is being sold sans-engine, but it does have the four-speed transmission intact. According to the seller the car had some type of hydraulic suspension, and several other features of the car operate via hydraulic controls, like the trunk and hood. None of that hydraulic stuff works, but it’s there to be repaired.
The rear of the car is pretty cool with its smoothed sides and the strange louvers on the trunk. The crazy lacquer paint is totally perfect for the time period and frankly, there aren’t many shops that could replicate that look today. The targa roof is creepy and we’re thinking that unless the rest of the car was braced up, it’ll be flexy.
We’re putting this one in the, “We dig it so long as someone else owns it,” category.
