So this is sitting next door to my house in an empty lot that is for sale...I have the lady's contact info, and a bit of spare moneys in the bank....but...with the MSP still in the shop and me moped bound at the moment, I have been reluctant to call....on the other hand, Corvairs are fucking sweet...blargh.

Check for rust. Check for completeness (interior, trim, engine, etc.)
If it checks out, DO IT!

Make sure it's the later version unless you want fiery death due to poorly-designed suspension.

It is, earlier versions (pre 65) had a different body.

If I wanted another truck, I'd be plenty spoiled for choice here in Texas...two is enough for one lifetime. Bleh trucks.

Can't see from this angle, but the left front and possibly left rear wheels are not attached to the car...so could be an issue, although my house is right behind that building.

Corvairs are one of those cars I see pop up with some regularity for stupid cheap. I don't understand why they're so maligned (besides the firey death). They look good, they're fairly unique, and parts aren't that hard to come by. They're a bargain, generally speaking. Do it!

$9200.
$1500, runs.
Looks like an effort to get to stage 1500. Standing offer for $300 from one guy around here.
Beware, though, folks who have them tend to have more than one. Just a warning.

'64 (last of the 1st-gen) had the updated suspension, too.
