Corvair Forum

I would assume that the term "flat glass" or "flat glasser" (in the automotive world) refers to a body style that is more vertical and less-streamlined. A Corvair car is more streamlined, lower, and has less aerodynamic resistance to air than a truck or van, which is more vertica...

My family has owned ten Corvairs -- Five EM and Five LM 1. 1961 Monza 2-Door coupe 4-speed 2. 1965 Corsa convertible w/140HP 4-speed 3. 1963 500 2-Door coupe - Powerglide 4. 1962 Monza 2-Door coupe 4-speed 5. 1963 Monza Spyder 150HP turbo convertible 4-speed 6. 1965 Corsa 180HP turbo coupe 4-speed (...

I managed to snag a copy of the show on Monday with my DirecTV DVR. I really enjoyed the interview and seeing your Corvair on television!

:wave: Welcome to the Corvair Forum as a new Corvair owner! Congratulations on your new acquisition! It looks like a really clean 4-door sedan. My name is also Brad and I just recently reentered the world of Corvair ownership after an almost twenty year absence with the purchase of a 1966 Corvair Co...

The fact that other circuits come on consistently when you turn on the key doesn't mean that much. They are different circuits with different wiring, different DC voltage taps and different ground paths. This is similar to turning off the main breaker in your house. All the lights would go off, and ...

From the CORSA Web site: https://www.corvair.org/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/event/info&Itemid=173&id=60&reset=1 Corvair Days in Hershey PA Hosted by Central Pennsylvania Corvair Club At the AACA Museumin Hershey. Saturday funkhana, scavenger hunt in the museum, and ca...

:dontknow: If vibration (caused by driving the car, hitting bumps in the road, etc.) is triggering the intermittent power connection, then I assume that the radio used to stay on continuously if you were listening while the car was parked and stationary. A loose or corroded connection, perhaps at th...

I may have a lead for you on an early model (1961) 4-Door Sedan that looks to be low mileage and very clean. Paint is clean original, but yellow. (Since it is a very clean base, you can always have it repainted Tuxedo Black!) I found this listed on the CORSA Web site. INTERESTED? http://www.corvair....

Regarding shipping, considering the overall price for a clean Corvair that is JUST RIGHT... the cost of shipping by transport doesn't appear to be a "deal breaker". In my case I chose to travel from North Carolina to central Florida (Mostly by Greyhound Bus) to pick up my Corvair and drive...

:sad5: :dontknow: I thought I had seen everything in Corvairs -- Dune buggies, airplanes, inboard and outboard boats, V8-powered Corvairs (Front, Mid and Rear). But this is really new! And AMAZING. I have brought a few pictures over to intrigue other Corvair Forum fans. The construction and detail p...

Norm is right in a number of areas. I am sorry that we got into the "hijack mode" on your thread, and for some of my comments that were inappropriate. Posting on forums is new to me, and I am realizing that I made some mistakes along the way. I am trying to clean up my act and my entries. ...

:wave: Let me be one of the first to welcome you to the Forum! Like you I only recently discovered the Corvair Forum and joined earlier this month. I hope you will check out my introductory post in this same area entitled: New from Lake Chatuge, North Carolina . I also was introduced to Corvairs in ...

Thanks for the positive comments about my newest Corsa convertible. I'm not sure about the source of the wheels. The "SS" in the center might be a clue (SS396/SS350 Chevelle?). The tires are Goodyear RWL Eagle ST P195/70R14 (Front) and P235/60R14 (Rear). By the way, I've entered my Corvair...

RE: 1960 Corvairs Norm, Thanks to your comments, I am becoming intrigued by 1960 Corvairs. A little research led me to a 1960 Caveman Corvairs group on Facebook, and I just finished reading about a 1960 Corvair in Bolivia that was literally saved from destruction by a very interesting man named Rich...

I guess there are aspects to some classic cars that I just failed to see. I would have liked to have had the owner explain in his entry the appeal that the 1960 vintage has for him (kind of what you have done here). He talked a little about the original condition that he found the car in. I would ha...

Just to be certain that I have the right show, is it a 30 minute show called the LOKAR Car Show ? (FSSOHD, DirecTV channel 646) There are several Fox Sports South channels on DirecTV but scheduled programming is unspecified on the other channels on Monday at 4:00pm. I want to set my DVR to record th...
