A dramatic redesign of the Corvair came in 1965. The new body showed influence from the Corvette Stingray and the 1963 Buick Riviera. The mild coke bottle styling set the trend for GM cars for the next fifteen years, foreshadowing the 1967 Camaro. For the first time, none of the passenger cars had a "B" pillar, making all closed models true hardtops. The second generation's styling was rated timeless when new, and considered contemporary today in comparison to the first generation. A new fully independent suspension, similar in design to the Corvette, replaced the original swing axle rear suspension. However, the Corvair used coil springs at each wheel instead of the 'Vette's single transverse leaf spring unit.MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to present the gorgeous 1965 Corvair Convertible 140, Quad Carb you see pictured.

During the restoration, not only was the exterior and interior done, but the car also has a new clutch, all new wiring, new front suspension, new shocks and even new tires and brakes. There are drum brakes all the way around. The Corvair sits upon a set of original Corvair 13" wheels wrapped in new 175/80R13 tires.
