Evaluation: Recent restoration | Very good paint. The rubber around the Rampside door reportedly shows light wear. Excellent interior. Clean engine that looks hardly run. No photos of the underbody, but RM notes slight signs of use. A well-restored, charming example of one of these quirky Corvair pickups. Located
in Indiana.
Bottom Line: Rampside and Loadside Corvair pickups weren’t all that common in period, and because they were so practical, a lot of them were used up. They’re rare in any condition, so a remarkably well-restored one like this is a treat. Another better than new Rampside sold in Scottsdale last year for $77,000, which was itself an unprecedented result. This amount is even bigger and even more surprising, especially given the times and the setting of the sale.
