Re: What is the age range of Corvair Fans? (POLL)

I am '64 and have been a fan since they came out in 1960 and I was 9. Parents test drove one, but did not get it. I never understood it. Bought a '64 in 1969. Still have it.

Need to move car-Engine Out

I am restoring my 1964 Monza 4-speed. I have pulled the engine. I would like to move the car with the engine out. We would like to get it out of the garage and wash it and get it ready to go to the paint shop. It seems as if I would just need to put the tires on and push it. Can this be done without...

Re: Engine cuts out after a few minutes

I ran into the same problem on a '62 Monza with dual carbs. The floats were set too low and there was not enough gas in the bowl to keep it running. I adjusted the floats to specs and problem solved.

The '64 was the vandalized car, which included a broken windshield, right window and the trim around it. Nothi...

Hello From Southeast Missouri

My father purchased a 1964 Corvair Monza in 1969 for me to drive to college. It did not take him long to decide that he needed to keep it for himself. It was damaged by a vandal in 1982. It has been parked ever since. We just started restoring it. While in the process of getting the '64 ready, we ra...
