So I have a '65 110hp Monza Coupe with a powerglide transmission. To my knowledge it's one of three Monza Coupe's in South Africa so spare parts are only available from Clarks Corvair. I have 3x '60-61 Sedans and a ton of spare parts. I want to install a 3.2lt big bore engine with a '63 4 speed manu...

I did a search and came up with this thread very interestinghttp://corvaircenter.com/phorum/read.php?1,568432,page=1 Think I will be contacting the author and seeing if he will share further information, I am quite desperate to start the chassis build etc. I will be using a refurbished '62 front sus...

I am putting this out there as I have been told this has been done, I do not know how successful/difficult the exercise was/is. I am building a GT40 replica and intend using a big bore corvair engine in a mid mount position. Hence the flipping of the diff and transmission. I would appreciate any lea...

Good evening Allan There is no official Corvair Club in SA, I know of about 6 maybe 8 Corvair owners in SA and only 4 of us are in regular contact. It is my first return to the forum in 4 years :think: The Corvair was sold in SA for two years '60 and '61 and then the Chevy Nova took over from the Co...

Hi Brad Must admit this car is an absolute head-turner in town. We live in a small community that is driven by the Rhodes University about 5 thousand students and the High & Supreme Court seats in South Africa. The students especially funny enough the girls love the car. When I park in town they...

Ok, at last, got my act together. Took some pictures of the car and I like it more every time I get into it. She really looks good but as I look closer there are some little tell tale bumps rearing their heads. Car still looks great though.

Yes! I now own a '65 Coupe that is a runner and does not need a rebuild. My Corvair Affair is growing and my Missus does not mind :tu: Another epic trip through the hinterland of South Africa was undertaken to collect this one from my friend Gary in Pietermaritzburg Kwa Zulu Natal. A round trip of s...

Hey guys there is some serious good advise for young aspiring corvair owners, oh and make sure you get a small dog, its more difficult to be shoved into a small doghouse

Books are my downfall, they never forget things unlike me if my head was not attached to my body via my neck I would forget about it as well and yet I can remember where I saw an article on something in a book. My ex referred to it as my selective memory ENJOY THE BOOKS
