1961 Chevrolet Corvair Rampside

The Chevrolet Corvair was a compact car line in various models manufactured by Chevrolet for model years 1960–1969 in two generations. Throughout its lifespan, the Chevrolet Corvair saw a multitude of body styles come and go, including two-door coupes, four-door sedans, convertibles, vans, and yes, even pickup trucks.

As for the pickups, two models were offered the Rampside and the Loadside. We have a great restored rare 1961 Chevrolet Corvair Rampside here at Skyway Classics with the recent restoration that looks phenomenal with long, straight lines, an upright front cabin space, a low rear bed with the ramp, and a restored Honda 50 included too!.

Mechanical

Under the hood beats a what looks like the flat-six rear-mounted and air-cooled engine with dual carburetors which mates to a manual transmission.
The rear-mounted air-cooled flat-six motor is set up for a lower center of gravity, and some Porsche-style handling fun, has a large rev range, looks as it did back when it was new with the black factory air cleaner system, electric cooling fans, carb system and intake, factory exhaust.

It rolls on aftermarket 5-spoke chrome mag wheels with thin white sidewall tires for that period look, drive, and feel.

Interior

The fresh interior on this Corvair cabin looks quite nice as well, and comes with matching two-tone teal/black bucket seats, matching door panels, teal and white painted surfaces, as well as the factory dual cowl dash that borrows styling from the Corvette factory dash with all the gauges and instruments, accessory gauges, accessory tachometer, stainless trim, black floor mats, factory steering wheel, updated stereo radio, and even a working CB radio system under the dash.

Exterior

Corvairs always turn heads wherever they go and this one does too with its professional restoration as this machine is in stunning condition and features the two-tone teal/white paint.

The glass and body trim look super not to mention a pair of very shiny chrome bumpers, Corvair badging, and a tow hitch out in back.
