I found a 1968 Chevy Corvair Convertible for sale the other day, and it is selling for $3,000. The body is in decent shape, it runs ok, and the top and interior could use a little tlc. Is this car worth $3,000 or should I be kinda suspicious like I am to what else is wrong with it?

BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT !!!!! ignore Ralph Nader ! the '68 had a double joint rear axle and cornered well , watch your tire pressure, get radials, and technology has made the fan belt last a lot longer ( still carry a spare ) yes do beware of rust but dare to be different , eBay has parts and contacts for clubs / parts I'm jealous

sounds ok,parts availibility is limited however.rust is the only real killer,it is a rear engine,air cooled!corvairs do tend toward oversteer so be careful if you learned to drive in a modern car,this one can bite you

Sounds about right, especially for a conv. It's not a "mid" eng vehicle, it's a REAR eng car. The body style to this day does not look old. It was a design way ahead of it's time.

The car in the shape that it is in right now it worth about $4000. $3000 is a really good price. Go for it.

its all a matter of what you want to spend and how bad you want the car. if it runs and the body is good and it is something you want to tinker with then 3k isnt a bad price.

if you an afford the car and the maintenance then by all means get it but remember something has to be wrong if they are trying to get rid of it
