Re: LM Corsa powerglide?

I purchased a Corsa dash within the last year with the thoughts of doing the same thing you are thinking of. I agree with you and I don't care for idiot lights.

If you modify the dash post pictures please. I would love to get a better idea of how it is done.

Re: Headrests and center caps?

Thanks for the replies.

I will check into the horn button for center caps. I need to check to see the diameter of my wheel centers. That way I will know if the Clark's ones work.

I will check on ebay for the headrests. I would like to keep the interior as original as I can.

Headrests and center caps?

I was browsing on ebay and came across this beautiful Corsa. It had Corsa decals on the center caps that I absolutely loved. I would like to replace the decal on the center caps of my wheels with a Monza decal. Does anyone know where I could get these? His wheels $_14[8].jpg My wheels unnamed[1].jpg...

Re: Chris Shade is planning an event

I met Chris last year (2014) at the Marshalltown ICE event. I loved his idea for the event and I'm hoping to have my new ride ready to go. If I don't I will take my 65 Monza.

Re: Today I drove my Corvair to...

Today I drove my Corvair to work. I'm an outside sales rep for Garland's Inc. We sell casters and material handling products. I took my regular car into the dealership because it lost a gallon of antifreeze after only 20k miles :( Needless to say my Corvair won't do that. People have mentioned that ...

Re: A Challenge

The wife and I went to dinner tonight. Besides the challenges of a new job (for both of us) and a new hip for me, this has been a very blessed year. We looked around before we left and saw a family of 6 out to dinner. It reminded my wife and I of us in our younger days. We called over the waitress, ...

I have often said that once the politicians (on both sides) learn that the government is "by the people, for the people" NOT for my own agenda to line my pockets.

Re: ObamaCare Simplified

I don't think having affordable insurance for everyone is such a bad thing. The bad thing is shoving it down our throats and putting the premiums of the uninsured on people who already are paying for insurance. The other issue is expanding government for another insurance plan. I'm not an expert but...

Welcome edbrown to Corvairs. There are quite a few of us in Iowa. I'm in Ankeny and JTVairs is in Des Moines (for now).

Re: I get a lot of looks

I always love the "those cars are unsafe" comments. I always ask them if they read the book? I've never heard one person say yes. I overheard a buy arrogantly tell his friends how "unsafe" they were and how they "roll over so easily". I asked him if he read the book to ...

Re: My New to Me 65 Vert / Project tracker

Corvair.jpg Nice ride. You said something about changing out the dash for a Corsa dash but your car is an automatic. I like the look of Corsa dash and picked up a one for a future project. Do you know if there is a way to modify the Corsa Dash and put the automatic selector switch on it? Or are you...
