Model overview

Model description

The Corvair story took a particularly interesting and ultimately sad twist in 1965. The clean but somewhat blocky design of the original car was replaced by a truly attractive flowing design with Coke-bottle flanks and a pillarless hardtop design for the coupe. Only the sedan, coupe and convertible remained and the rear suspension was re-designed, eliminating the swing-axles that troubled Nader. Sadly, it was all for naught. The damage had been done and the Corvair was on the way out. The last few 1969 cars were virtually hand-assembled. The “finally get it right and then kill it” pattern to be repeated by GM in the future with the Cadillac Allante, Pontiac Fiero and Pontiac Solstice was born with the hapless Corvair.

Many factors can increase a car's value including excellent condition, exceptional originality, a recent restoration, low mileage, unique provenance, desirable options, popular or unique color choices, and excellent maintenance records. Upgrades and modifications that enhance performance or aesthetics can also add value.

Factors that can decrease a car's value include unusually high mileage, poor maintenance history, visible wear and tear, accidents or damage, title issues, and gaps in ownership history. Additionally, less popular color choices and extensive modifications that don't appeal to a broad audience can reduce value.

Mileage plays a significant role in a classic car’s value. Lower mileage usually increases value because it indicates a higher degree of originality, is rarer, and suggests less wear and tear. However, cars with exceptionally low mileage may also have maintenance needs due to lack of use. Whether someone should pay more for a vehicle with lower miles will depend on how they plan on using it, and the vehicle's specific condition.

The value of modified cars differs widely based on the type and quality of modifications. While some modifications can significantly increase value, especially performance enhancements and high-quality custom work, others may not add much or could even detract from the car’s value if they appeal to only a limited audience.
