Corvair Forum

From a simple production standpoint, the 1965's are the most plentiful and usually the most moderately priced. The Late Models (65-69) seem to be the easiest to find good used parts for, but almost anything needed, for any year Corvair, can be ordered from Clarks or one of the other excellent vendor...

Hey Kevin - Glad you're back from the war. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt and burned it too many times to remember. I've always wondered why you don't have a mainland race car AND a driver for back home. You could keep the beast in Indy (or in my garage) and build a daily driver for home. At...

Strange twist on this thread... Here's one that's for sale on eBay right now.

I suggest you read through this page: http://autoxer.skiblack.com/tires.html It will give you some great information on the appropriate size wheels and tires. Keep in mind that anything taller or shorter than a stock wheel and tire combo will affect the accuracy of your speedometer. I run 15x7 wheel...

This one always makes me smile... ::-): I took these photos at a motorcycle run in Cassoday KS a few years back. It looked almost normal from the side. :think: http://www.rament.net/corvair/images/vw_bike1.png http://www.rament.net/corvair/images/vw_bike2.png http://www.rament.net/corvair/images/vw_...

It may not be art, but I like this paint mock up I did for a friend.

Such is the nature of learning. You can't get practice without repetition.

Beautiful. Blue cars are the best! I didn't get a copy of the calendar when it came out. Too many other priorities at the time.
You're pretty close to me sam60. Maybe we'll see each other on the road someday.

Grymm - Back when my eyes were better, my reaction times quicker, and before I messed up both of my hands in motorcycle wrecks, I loved to game. My interest was mostly in first person shooter games, but I also liked a couple of the 3/4 perspective games like Diablo I and II. At one point I had a nic...

Adding to jennirw's post about the Hannibal 8. Professor Fate's rocket train was also Corvair powered. http://starcarcentral.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/all-three-fates.jpg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86ZnWc1B7W4 From: http://volocars.com/1964-hannibal-8-professor-fate-the-great-race-movie-car-co...

The ones in the pictures that Brad posted are Sebring seats that have had the headrests resculptured.
Mine are plain Sebring seats in white.

For anyoneo who's still interested in this topic. There's one of the same cruise control units that I installed currently available on eBay: http://r.ebay.com/sIpaW0

In the 1964 movie "Sex and the Single Girl", there is a '61 Monza that repeatedly swerves out of the way of the main character's cars as they enter the highway. I think its 3 times in a row that the same car is used. http://www.imcdb.org/i329362.jpg They must have thought it handled the ma...

You can lower the rear of an EM as far as you want and still maintain proper camber if you raise the engine to compensate. I've heard of it being done but it took lot more work than just cutting coils.

BTW... a PG equipped Corvair can also be push started.

This has been said before but... The 2 spd Corvair Powerglide is one of the toughest automatic transmissions out there. Testing of the PG involved 100 WOT transitions between forward and reverse gear. A PG Corvair in good running order should be able to go 75 mph all day long. I recently drove from ...
