Southeast FL here. First car was a 64 4 door Monza I inherited in the early 70s that my parents bought new in New Orleans in 1964. Car lasted until around 1977 IIRC at which point I got into a 1966 2 door Monza that I sold to a coworker around 1980. Both had the 110 engine and 4 speed. Couple of mods had both running and handling sweet. Miss the 66 more than the 64. If given the chance would love to get into a 67 Corsa Spyder vert……….

Welcome to the forum, I hope you like it here.
You can add your general location to your profile if you are comfortable doing that. It will help with future posts so others have an idea where you are when looking for Corvairs and or their parts or assistance.

IF you are looking for a Spyder, it will need to be a 1962-1964 "Early Model" Corvair and all of those were Turbo Charged.
IF you are looking for a CORSA, it will be a 1965 or 1966 "Late Model" only. The base engine for the CORSA was the 140 HP engine which had the four individual one barrel carburetors on it. The upgrade was the optional Turbo Charged engine.

The 1967 was unique in many ways and a few parts can be more difficult to source than other years but regardless of what year Corvair you may purchase, you should be happy with it if you find the right one for your needs.

Don't be afraid to ask questions or for advice, that is what we are here for.

WELCOME!!!

Like caraholic4life said no such thing as a 1967 Corsa Spyder.

67' were coupe, sedan, vert...95, 110, or 140 only, no turbo.

Some what oddball 1967's are considered the best by many!!

Some say it is the last year the GM cared about fit and finish.
