Corvair Forum

Here's a running 1968 LM parts mobile. Not a bad price I think for so many good parts, plus it's got those nice sporty small bucket seats! I'm tempted! Corvair - $1,500 (North Hollywood) https://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/cto/d/north-hollywood-corvair/7528388505.html https://images.craigslist.org...

Nice! That cove behind the rear seat on EMs was a gift from GM for speakers! I always wondered why it's actually there though. Win!

Yes, he's cool and knowledgeable and a big-time Mopar guy, which I USED TO BE. I'm actually friends with him on FB.

I've found that all the battery brands seem to last pretty darn well in my cars out here in CA, so the main criteria I stick with is leakage. I hate leakage and excessive acid corrosion around the battery posts. It's unbelievable that in this day and age, many battery brands still have these leakage...

Thank you for sharing those wonderful memories!

My hat's off to you!

Welcome, Bruce! Wow, what an amazing awesome story! I wonder how much extra power the LP contributed to....? Feel free to share any/all your pics from back then! What do you have "on the burner" right now, corvair-wise? Great to have you aboard.....

This is one reason why I tend to like the center 4-barrel setup. Those stock 4 individual carbs on a 140 horse means there's more chance of fuel leakage. The center 4-barrel stays relatively cooler too....no fuel percolation after shutdown. I know everybody likes to slam the center 4-barrel for legi...

That's really nice. I keep wondering what that one is, next to the blue fuel pump. Looks like an ECM for fuel injection or the like. Also, what is that item behind the L/S taillight in the engine compartment?

Wow! Looks great. I definitely wouldn't worry about that compression difference either. Not one bit.

Like gravity!

That's one sobering photo!

I agree with Ted here, pretty much. And if A/C is a must-have item, you're going to have an extremely narrow group of cars to choose from. Get ready to drop $20K or so for what you're looking for. That one for $13K doesn't excite me too much, but lousy paint jobs tend to turn me off immediately........

Can't wait to see it, Steve! That is one corvair vehicle which I'd love to own.

Great background and I love all the musclecars from that era, and definitely the Fords too! Good luck in your hunt for a '66 corsa.....I rarely see them for sale too often anymore.
