DESCRIPTION
This 1961 Chevrolet Corvair Rampside is a rare find, representing just 4% of total Corvair production in its debut year. The truck\'s green patina exterior with white striping gives it a surf-inspired vibe, while its unique rampside design allows for easy loading. Detroit Mob Steel wheels, 18\" up front and 20\" in the rear, wrapped in 215/45R18 and 245/35R20 tires, respectively, provide a street-savvy stance. The Rampside\'s functionality shines through with its folding passenger-side bed and smaller rear tailgate, offering versatile cargo options.
Inside, the cabin sports a no-frills approach. The bench seat, recovered for comfort, contrasts nicely against the original gauges and trim. Simple rubber floors keep things practical, while the absence of a headliner adds to the truck\'s utilitarian charm. Behind the seat, an air ride tank hints at the Corvair\'s performance upgrades.
Powering this Corvair is a built 165 CID flat-six engine featuring forged pistons, Grant rings, and an OTTO cam. The powerplant breathes through four single-barrel carburetors and exhales via a dual glasspack-style exhaust system. A four-speed manual transmission puts the power to the rear transaxle. The truck rides on a Ride Tech Shockwave air suspension system, with a custom rear trailing link maintaining proper camber when lowered. Stopping power comes from a Camaro front disc brake conversion.
