1962 Chevrolet Corvair Rampside Pickup Truck

1962 Chevrolet Corvair Rampside Pickup -- Description

About 5 years ago, I purchased this truck, affectionately known as “Mr. Citrus”, from one of the three men who originally restored this Rampside back in 1986. Much love, time, and over $30,000 has been invested and the results speak for themselves.
The truck is solid with no rust. Everything works except for the windshield washer/squirters. I have never needed the squirters and never took the time to investigate the issue. The paint is the same as it was when the truck was restored in 1986 and, despite wear from driving and showing it for 31 years, is still beautiful.
This baby is a lot of fun to own, drive and show. The smooth shifting 4 speed mated with the peppy 95HP engine is perfect for driving to your favorite cruise-in or down the highway to dinner with your significant other. The Kenwood stereo and Boss speakers sound terrific!
Buy it now and you can be the proud owner of an uncommonly cool truck that will get lots of attention and thumbs-up!
