Up for sale is a 1961 Chevrolet Corvair Lakewood station wagon 700 series. These are the lowest production Corvair ever produced, only being in production for a year and a half. This wagon is a blast to drive! It has been updated with 1964 corvair front and rear suspension (rear traverse leaf and front sway bar). It also has front disk brakes to make stopping a breeze. A list of other modifications and upgrades follow:
-Front disc brakes are an aftermarket kit using dodge colt rotors, pads, and calipers. Both the rotors and pads have been changed recently. I will include two sets of pads also, which are readily available on Rockauto
-recently rebuilt power glide transmission (with Clark's Corvair finned aluminum deep pan)-Otto aluminum valve covers and oil pan
-new rebuilt carburetors
-pertronix ignition and matching coil
-new spark plugs and plug wires
- custom under dash Stewart Warner gauges: tach, vacuum, volt gauge, oil pressure, and oil temperature
- Retrosound stereo with Bluetooth and iPad hookups
-stereo speakers in stock location in dash and two Custom Autosound speakers underneath the front seat
-Custom aftermarket 14" wheels, with tires matched to the original tire overall diameter
-the entire floor pan has had sound dampening material laid on it
- original green tinted glass all around (see details below)
There are a few trouble areas on the passenger rear door and behind the driver side rear door, but overall this is an excellent solid car. It needs door panels to be installed. Also the rear hatched was replaced with a 1962 hatch with out the green glass. I have the other hatch and will include it with the sale.
This car is extremely reliable, I drove it as my daily driver for over a year with no troubles. I have always ran synthetic oil in it and have changed it regularly.
