Corvair 95s, named for their 95-inch wheel-base, were offered by
General Motors as Light-Duty-Forward-Control vehicles and marketed
from 1961 to 1965. Forward control referred to positioning of the
steering mechanism forward of the front axle and created the
Corvair FC moniker for the line. Forward control engineering plus
short wheel-base afforded great maneuverability, a turning radius
of only 19.5 feet, and a clear view of the road ahead. The
powerplant was of the same design as the Corvair passenger cars:
the revolutionary rear mounted, horizontally-opposed six-cylinder,
air-cooled engine. With its engine located in the rear, the Corvair
95 cab was well isolated from engine heat and noise with enough
room for a full-length bench seat. Overall, the Corvair 95 was
remarkably well-proportioned; accentuated by the double-concave
cove along the sides and traditional two-tone painting scheme,
displaying a distinctive design elegance. This novel Rampside model
is a rare unit and sports a rebuilt Turbo-Air engine connected to
the reliable three-speed manual transmission. Ahead of the C2
Corvette, the Corvair also features four-wheel independent
suspension as well as hydraulic assist brakes. Full wire-wheel
hubcaps with spinners are mounted on Uniroyal white-wall radial
tires for a smooth ride. A nice additional touch to this unique
all-purpose vehicle are the pair of custom designed surf boards for
those summer days at the beach! Stock Number: HC8496 VIN:
