This 1965 Chevrolet Corvair Corsa sport coupe is powered by a turbocharged 164ci flat-six paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. Completed approximately 10 years ago, its refurbishment features tributes to the builds of Don Yenko, creator of the Corvair-based Yenko Stinger homologation special that won the 1967 SCCA D-Production National Championship. The car is finished in metallic blue over white upholstery, and it has an aftermarket camshaft, lowered suspension, staggered 16″ and 17″ Torq Thrust–style wheels, and front bucket seats. This turbocharged Corvair Corsa coupe is offered in South Carolina by the selling dealer, a BaT Local Partner, with a clean Tennessee title.
The body was finished at the factory in Evening Orchid (P), and the selling dealer tells us that it was repainted in metallic blue, which is accented by white stripes and a silver tail panel.
The Corvair utilized a fully independent suspension, and the ride height on this one is lowered over its 16″ and 17″ Torq Thrust–style wheels, which are mounted with 195/55 front and 235/45 rear tires. Four-wheel drums provide braking.
The seats are reupholstered in white vinyl, while black carpets line the floors, and the refurbished interior has a center console. The Delco AM radio is inoperative.
A woodgrain steering wheel fronts the instrument cluster, where the five-digit odometer shows 84k miles. One of the auxiliary gauges is missing a needle.
The rear-mounted, air-cooled, turbocharged 164ci flat-six was factory rated at 180 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque, which is delivered to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle. The selling dealer reports an aftermarket camshaft.
Code O in accessory group 4 on the bottom Fisher body tag is consistent with an L87 turbocharged 180-horsepower engine.
