Corvair Forum

Hi All I have been having a small issue with my corvair lately, When ever I drive on bumpy road, the air filter on the right side of the jostles loose from the carb leaving a gap for bugs and things to get into, there are just these two bent screws holding down the filter to the carbs, I have put ne...

Hi all I let my dad drive my corvair today, he did not crash it thank god, but I sitting on the passenger side I was not as comfortable as I wished mainly because I did not I have a center arm rest or center console of any sort, it doesn't bother me when I drive because I have by hand on the wheel, ...

Hey, that's a nice ride, Greinert. Looks like it's optioned up pretty nice too. I love the rear antennas. May be a small detail, but I think it looks sooooo much better than the front mounted ones. Wish mine was. BTW, do you think that's an original red interior? I was wondering because......did th...

So you ended up with a 1965 Monza instead of the originally planned for 1969? What changed your mind? It looks like a very clean convertible. You should really enjoy driving it with the top down in beautiful northern Michigan and Canada. Were the pictures taken near your school in Michigan or near ...

Has anybody ever put an auxiliary heater in their Corvair? I am wondering because I live in a colder climate, but I still want to drive in the winter. Due to the notorious heating issues in the cars I am looking for alternatives. I have found some through internet searches but a lot of them rely on ...

To add my 2 cents, last December I drove my 1966 Monza Sedan (110/Powerglide) on a 900 mile round trip from Flint, MI to Marrinette, WI to visit my brother and his family. As others have already mentioned, the Powerglide has no problems on trips. I drove 60-65MPH for most of the trip, getting 24MPG....

Thank you for the Encouragement :) I will join a club of some sort , I have taken the Bus Before, it is okay.

Greg, As I mentioned in an earlier welcome message to you, contacting and joining a local Corvair club can be an enormous help in assisting you to locate and evaluate a prospective Corvair to make your own. There is such a chapter of CORSA (Corvair Society of America in the Chicago area, about 60 m...

Hi Folks I am about to buy 69 Monza. It is all in good working order, the only problem is that it pulls to the right when it breaks. I have been told that this is just a simple adjustment. I don't do a lot of break work but, the corvair only has drums all around and I think those would be simpler th...
