1961 Chevrolet Corvair Wagon Description:

844-377-5663 classic vintage chrome chevy wagon 164 flat six cylinder auto transmission red Stock #: 5018-ATL Exterior Color: Red Interior Color: Red Body Type: Station Wagon Transmission: 2 Speed Automatic Drivetrain: RWD Engine: 164 CI Title Condition: Clear It's a pretty safe bet you'll be the center of attention when you pull up to any gathering behind the wheel of this 1961 Chevrolet Corvair Wagon. After all, even its more commonly seen coupe and sedan counterparts are rarely seen these days and this version is far rarer, seriously escalating the collectability factor of this revolutionary classic, which is also in impressively strong running condition.
With its sporty, compact looks and rear wheel design, the Corvair was more than a mere novelty when introduced to the American public. Chevy was making a concerted effort to attract buyers that had formerly been set on imports, and their plan worked well, with the model enjoying strong sales throughout its production run. This '61 represents the first class of wagons to join the Corvair fleet and is sure to be a head turner out on the road with its singular appearance, which actually offers quite a bit practicality - the Corvair's unique engine placement means there's not only appreciable storage space in back, but also under the front deck lid. This revolutionary Chevy wears a striking shade of red that mixes in some gold flake to really make it radiate in the sunlight and, while it was likely applied a while back, the paint still presents nicely for its age. The accompanying chrome trim and emblems are also unblemished, the glass surrounding the cabin is clear and the overall exterior alignment remains strong - check out how level the side body contours are as they transition from front to back.
Climb in and you'll be surrounded by a vintage driving environment that's been spruced up with some imaginative touches to result in an appealingly distinctive result. The front bench seat now wears a sharp velvet spiral cover, and the quartet of door panels are still very clean, sporting tuck and roll surfaces with square accenting. The interior space on hand is actually a little surprising - there's quite a bit of real estate separating the two rows of seating and the rear storage space, which will easily be restored to top form with just a little attention to its surrounding walls, is outright spacious.
Up front, the dash area is in great shape, featuring sharp chrome accents, original gauges that still function as intended and a dash pad across the top that shows no cracking. The original radio still holds its place at the center and is joined by an aftermarket AM/FM/CD player that pairs with Panasonic speakers to provide your audio soundtrack while behind the wheel.
Lift up the hatch in back and you'll see a 164 cubic inch flat six cylinder - likely the original engine - sitting in a stock compartment below. It's running and sounding strong and is fed by a pair of period-correct single barrel downdraft carbs - judging from its reassuringly solid running condition, it was likely rebuilt a while back. Assisted by an added HEI ignition to heat up the available spark, the engine fires right up and teams with a 2-speed automatic transmission that's also in good form. Even today, independent rear suspensions are far from a given and yet this classic, debuting well over a half century ago, already had one on board as it left the factory, so it navigates uneven surfaces surprisingly well, and the brakes at both ends were recently replaced, so the stopping ability is also there.
This 1961 Chevrolet Corvair Wagon offers the opportunity to put a unique, revolutionary classic in your garage that's both running and looking great. Call today!

We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).

FEES: A documentation fee of $199 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.

AVAILABILITY: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.

CONTACT: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.

INSPECTION: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.

PAYMENT: We require a non-refundable $500 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers.

SHIPPING: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.

DRIVE IT HOME: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.

DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.

VIN VERIFICATION: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.

MILEAGES: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.

CONDITION: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.

Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!

We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle.
