I still have A LOT of parts available, both used and NOS. I'll be attending the open house at the Corvair Ranch, because it is always a good time. I can bring any parts to the event if you wish. Check my available parts, with photos and descriptions, at the following links: NEW and NOS Parts: https:...

that is a very decent price. do you take PayPal? Yes, I do. I am sending you a PM. any idea if the entire heating component needs to be removed to do this job? i saw something about how this piece was originally stapled on, but there must be an easier way of replacing it without taking it all apart...

Don't want to pay $72.00 for the out-of-stock repro? I have two good used ones available. Not perfect, but decent and usable. $20 each plus shipping.

... and PM replied to. Thanks, Phil!

I have available one pair of the small brackets for mounting the Powerglide transmission cooler above the battery in Corvair trucks and vans –- #21 in the accompanying illustration. (Yes, they are the same left and right.) These have been stripped and repainted, so they’re ready to use. Asking $25, ...

"The Greenbrier... will run at 70 MPH when pushed to do so but it gets really noisy inside at the higher speeds. Maybe I need a better seal on the engine cover and need to secure it in place with the correct fasteners." As a veteran of innumerable long-distance Greenbrier trips, I will en...

The late Bill Ableson had a treasure trove of new Buick/Olds 215-V8 parts, all of which was sold years ago on behalf of his widow after Bill’s passing. Well, almost all. This one part remains, mostly because I cannot state with any certainty its exact application. But my guess is that it is one of t...

With this event now less than 24 hours away, what is the weather forecast? According to Accuweather, it will be "windy and cooler; cloudy in the morning, then episodes of sunshine in the afternoon." Because the event has been promoted as "rain or shine," it should go without sayi...

Happy April Fools' Day! And, no fooling, we're now less than two weeks away from the unofficial start of "car season" here in the northeast, the LVCC All-Corvair Swap Meet on April 13. Plan on being there!

No. It appears to be a later one, similar to what was in my '87 S-10.

DRIVE the car! Have the "Pick-up Guy" follow you with a load of your stuff , AND the tow-bar. ("Just in case") IF she breaks down you have a prepared tow vehicle already on hand. . This is the right answer. As I have noted previously, I have used a tow bar extensively, and a tra...

Rent the U-Haul trailer. You're towing with a later-model F-250, so U-Haul will like that just fine. As has been mentioned before, tell them you will be trailering a 1963 Corvette. Load the car facing forward, not backward. You do NOT want to put a convertible on a trailer backwards. The U-Haul trai...

I have used a similar towbar to tow Corvairs many, many miles. While at times I have used thin pads to protect the bumper from the clamps, more often I have substituted a lesser-quality front bumper for the duration of the tow. Not only does this, obviously, protect the better bumper from possible d...
