[NoVa-Corvairs] Corvair News - 1960 Corvair 700 Sedan for sale

[ALBERT BIRKS]

Hi folks:  Hope all is well with you.  

Last Saturday I attended the MOTAA International Car Meet in Burnsville, MS.  I entered my 1963 Spyder Convertible and managed to get a Senior Award for the presentation. MOTAA presents a metal badge that can be attached to your grill or license plate at this level.  

Aside from bragging about my car, there was another Corvair present at the show.  It was a 1960 4-door sedan in excellent condition.  I talked to the owner and he said he was interested in selling the car, which has been in his family for a number of years.  I know that it is a very long drive from VA to MS, but I thought I should let you know about very nice car that is for sale. Here is the information on this car:

1960 Corvair Model 700 4-door Sedan - See photo, Attachment 100-2522.
41,000 original miles
Original engine recently upgraded with higher compression pistons - estimated HP is now 100 hp.
    I did not check on transmission type: manual or automatic??
Interior has been redone with blue cloth and it looks brand new.
Exterior paint is a blue and it in excellent shape.
    No body dents or rust!
Everything works - absolutely no repairs required
Bumper chrome front and rear is excellent
Dual outside mirrors
Wire wheel covers
Stone guard over headlights
Front and rear spoilers - front nicely integrated with body (these are the only changes)
It even has a Corvair tissue dispenser installed as an option
A gas heater was provided with this car, (owner says it works, but it is disconnected since not required).
The owner is a retired auto mechanic, who is skilled with working on Corvairs and other cars. He is interested in working on Corvairs if someone needs repairs, tune-ups, etc. 

He said he was asking $12,000.00 for the car.  (I did not ask, but I would guess the price is negotiable.)

If we know of anyone who would like to become a Corvair owner or if any member would like to add another Corvair to their collection, this car should be considered.  They can contact the owner, Dan Decker, at 731-608-4492.  He lives in Finger, TN, which  is south of Jackson, TN, which is about 30 miles north of Corinth, MS.
