Corvair Forum

Andrea: it was very nice to see you again after all these years since your visit to my home. I am glad you made the trip from Maryland to the Springfest to see this fun gathering of Vair owners. Nice that you won a couple awards for your effort though having the bad luck award is not one to strive ...

So glad to make your acquaintance as well. From the moment I saw the Corvair Forum tshirt you were wearing I had to startup a conversation. When you said your alias was "caraholic4life" I had to laugh out loud to meet one of my long time forum Corvair stars! Enjoy the photo of our in pers...

"The Greenbrier... will run at 70 MPH when pushed to do so but it gets really noisy inside at the higher speeds. Maybe I need a better seal on the engine cover and need to secure it in place with the correct fasteners." As a veteran of innumerable long-distance Greenbrier trips, I will en...

The 2024 Helen Springfest event is now over. I attend for the first time this year and am glad that I had the opportunity. Driving the Greenbrier to and from the event was an experience I will not soon forget as it was the longest distance I have driven it since purchasing it in December 2020. My t...

Happy belated Birthday Scott....I spent Sunday driving the Greenbrier in six different states so I did not see this post until late last evening and did not actually read it until this morning.

P.S. The e-bay listing has several photo's along with the following information: "Here is a very rare 1964 Corvair Corvan 8-door van, one of 718 built. I bought in in 2003 and have used it on my property for transporting all the water pipe and electric pipe I needed to developed my land. I hav...

If it's even kinda decent it is a smokin deal. Only one picture and the price is too good. Could absolutely be a scam...be careful!! https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/926561235917780/?referral_code=undefined This van is on e-bay at the moment http://www.ebay.com/itm/186382058045?itmmeta=01H...

When I install Valve Cover or Oil Pan Gaskets, I make sure that the Aluminum surfaces are clean and do not apply any gasket cement to those surfaces. By not applying gasket cement to the Aluminum surfaces, it reduces the chances of gouging them when attempting to remove gaskets that have been adhere...

Are these the 1965 backup light hole fillers you are looking for? There is a chance I might be persuaded to part with them. When I bought these years ago, I bought them "Just to have" but they did not come with boxes so I can't say for sure that they are or are not NOS. For their age, they...

For reference, you could send the place that thinks they have these somewhere these photo's so they might be able to find them easier? These photo's were taken about ten minutes ago.

Are you sure that isn't a "710" cap?

Back when I worked auto parts, I would hear of people that came into the stores looking for a 710 cap which often confused the uneducated parts counter idiots......

After all that fabrication....Single Exhaust through one muffler.....

Maybe they are looking for High Poorformance?

Dropped the exhaust today. Fell right off with some PB Blaster soaking. I see removing the old rotted hangers is going to be a chore. I've read the right side actually mounts to the coil stud behind the sheet metal?????? Haven't given the driver side a good look yet. This is really starting to look...

I attended this event last year for the first time and was pleasantly surprised at the turnout, selection of parts, and comradery that was there that day.

I would encourage anyone within a reasonable driving distance to give serious consideration to attending.

Here is a topic from the now defunct "Other Forum" that may be of some help.

BEFORE YOU VOTE in this upcoming Election, Please review this information. Come to your own conclusions and make your own decisions. By now the CORSA BoD should be well aware of the self serving manipulative ways of the Self Appointed Administrator over at the CCF. At this time. It is my OPINION th...
