Offered here is an opportunity to purchase of piece of reality television show history ... and from one of the most successful automotive shows airing today. This 1963 Chevrolet Corvair convertible will have a full episode dedicated to it in the upcoming season 13 of Wheeler Dealers on Discovery's Velocity Channel.
We started with a relatively rust-free body ...one that had no major damage or rust issues.Minor repairs were addressed, it was block sanded andthen professionally finished in two-stage Sea Foam Green. It features a new white convertible top with a new plastic back window, and all new attaching components. All the brightwork on the outside of the car has either been replaced or refinished. It also features a new windshield and windshield rubber. The red interior is all completely new including fresh weatherstrips and rubbers. This car also features a Corsa Turbo instrument cluster with tachometer. After being disassembled, all reused parts were blasted, cleaned and repainted. All attaching hardwarethat wasn't replaced was also cleaned before reassembly. The convertible top frame was cleaned, prepped and painted before reassembly as well. This car has shaved door handles and features both electric door poppers controlled by remote and a system that will allow you to open the doors with your Smart Phone.
Mechanically it features a later-model 140 4-carb motor that has been refreshed with new gaskets and seals as well as beingcosmetically detailed. The carbs have been rebuilt, the generator replaced with a one-wire alternator, converted to new electronic ignition, new wiring harnesses and many other new parts (fuel pump, plugs, wires, etc.). The original 4-speed manual trans has a new clutch kit and been updated with the 1964 transverse mounted rear leaf spring. The brakes have also been fully serviced and updated to a later model 5-lug configuration. Up front, it has new bushings and ball joints, springs, new steering box and all new steering components. It all rides on new 14" chrome reverse wheels with new Falken tires.
