Just bought a 66 Corsa Crown with 327 and looking for any history and input on value of car as I may be selling. Seller did not have any information because he bought it at an auction about eight years ago. It was running when put into storage and later moved out to his property 3 years ago. I haven't done anything to car except wash some dust and spider webs off. I will post info and pictures as I dig into car. I plan on getting engine running and then probably list it for sale.
lol, I will post pictures as soon as I learn how. Telling me file to big.

Probably not out of line, especially for a running car. I suppose a lot depends on the condition of the body. It didn't look too bad, at least no gaping holes.

It would appear that Charles has listed the car on eBay -

I am the new owner of this car. I started driving Corvairs in 1968! Had quite a few and always wanted to build a Corv8. Fast forward to 1975... got out of the Army and bought several more Corsairs, had the suspension kit and a 327/365 motor that had one wrong cylinder head. Bought the Crown manual (and still have it all these years later) and planned to build one. For whatever reason at the time sold the Vairs and started buying other cars. Lots of 442's, GTO's Firebirds, etc. I currently have a 65 GTO convertible Tri-Power 4 speed car (not original) but updated with 4 wheel discs, tubular suspension, etc. Also have a nice 67 Cutlass Supreme convertible with a LS3/4LE85, Ford 9", lots of good parts.
I have been looking at Corv8's for a seemingly years, bought it for what I think is a fair price, and am arranging shipping now.
I will likely have a zillion questions as I get into this, hopefully all major parts are good and hope to get this moving under it's own power shortly.
Also have to mention Charlie has been great to deal with through this process, and hope I can contribute to this forum. I need to poke around here some more, curious if there are any cars in the northern Alabama/Nashville/Atlanta area?
