**** THIS VEHICLE WILL BE OFFERED FOR AUCTION AT THE
BARRETT-JACKSON SCOTTSDALE CLASSIC & COLLECTOR CAR AUCTION - MARCH
20 - MARCH 27, 2021 **** Corvair 95s, named for their 95-inch
wheel-base, were offered by General Motors as
Light-Duty-Forward-Control vehicles and marketed from 1961 to 1965.
Forward control referred to positioning of the steering mechanism
forward of the front axle and created the Corvair FC moniker for
the line. Forward control engineering plus short wheel-base
afforded great maneuverability, a turning radius of only 19.5 feet,
and a clear view of the road ahead. The powerplant was of the same
design as the Corvair passenger cars: the revolutionary rear
mounted, horizontally-opposed six-cylinder, air-cooled engine. With
its engine located in the rear, the Corvair 95 cab was well
isolated from engine heat and noise with enough room for a
full-length bench seat. Overall, the Corvair 95 was remarkably
well-proportioned; accentuated by the double-concave cove along the
sides and traditional two-tone painting scheme, displaying a
distinctive design elegance. This novel Rampside model is a rare
unit and sports a rebuilt Turbo-Air engine connected to the
reliable three-speed manual transmission. Ahead of the C2 Corvette,
the Corvair also features four-wheel independent suspension as well
as hydraulic assist brakes. Full wire-wheel hubcaps with spinners
are mounted on Uniroyal white-wall radial tires for a smooth ride.
A nice additional touch to this unique all-purpose vehicle are the
pair of custom designed surf boards for those summer days at the
beach! Stock Number: HC8496 VIN: 1R124S115161 Miles: 99,042 miles
