> I recently picked up a 65 Corsa 180 convertible in
> Virginia (west of DC) with the intention of taking it
> home (Mobile,AL).  I've since changed my plans (the
> wife will kill me - I already have 7 Corvairs in the
> driveway/garage)and need to sell this car this week.
>
>> From the quick inspection I made when I bought it, it
> appeared to be solid.  The floors were not rusted, the
> rockers looked solid, the doors opened and closed
> without any binding, the door lines were straight and
> not out of alignment, the windows didn't overlap -
> i.e., its not sagging in the middle.  Everything
> appears to be there except the chrome bullit heat
> shield.  The glass was all good and rolled up/down.
> The tires are old and cracked and at least one is
> flat.  The red paint is faded and has some surface
> rust.  The body was pretty solid and I don't remember
> seeing any rot or rusted out areas such as
> fenderwells, bottom of windshield, door jams, etc.
> There is a small dent in the right front fender in
> front of the wheelwell about the size of a volleyball.
>  The top is no good.  The interior is all there but
> very dirty from the storage.  The guages are all
> there.  The carpet would definitely have to be
> replaced. Its been in a storage building for years so
> I don't know if the engine is locked up or not.  The
> car rolls fine.  Overall, its a very good candidate
> for restoration and it's a 180 convetible.
>
> The car is located in Clifton, Virginia - 15-20 miles
> west of DC off RT 50.  I'm currently in Rochester and
> Syracuse, NY.  I'll be leaving for Mobile, AL on
> Friday and will be in Clifton,VA on Saturday, 9 Aug
> 03. If anyone is interested, I could meet them there
> on Sat morning.  I'm looking for $800-$1,000 for the
> car to get my money back - it's well worth it.
> Otherwise, I'll just have to leave it there until I
> can return to get it (if my wife lets me!!).  Sorry I
> don't have any pictures.
>
> I can be reached at 202-431-8801 (cell phone) until
> Friday morning or at monzaboy@yahoo.com.  The phone is
> on 24-hr/day every day.  If you're interested, don't
> hesitate to call anytime.
