I am a new member from south Louisiana. This is my 1962 convertible Corvair that I have had for 1 year.

Welcome to the Corvair Forum!

I looks like you found a beautiful 1962 convertible!

The link below will provide you with a list of useful websites that are Corvair-related. Some of the links will lead you to an extensive technical library that will allow you to download shop manuals and other technical references in Adobe Reader format at no cost. There is also a link that will help you to locate nearby CORSA (Corvair Society of America) club chapters. While the Corvair Forum can be very helpful as you work on your Corvair, having local friends and contacts in your region who are knowledgeable about the Corvair can also be very helpful. These family-friendly CORSA chapters often offer picnics, group scenic drives, technical training and assistance, car shows, and competition events that can greatly enhance your enjoyment of Corvair ownership. You will also find a list of essential Corvair parts suppliers. Clark's Corvair Parts is the biggest and oldest Corvair supplier in the world. You will find a link that can provide you with a series of videos that amount to a tour of the Clark's Corvair Parts facilities. I think you will be amazed at the quality of the reproduction components they offer — particularly the interior carpeting and re-upholstery items. Parts suppliers such as this truly make our Corvair hobby possible.

I was not able to find out much about the single listed CORSA chapter in your state. They operate no club website, but do have a Facebook site. Here is what I could find...

I would like to encourage you to expand on your initial post and tell us more about yourself. If you can describe your personal assessment of your mechanical skills and abilities, that would help a lot. Members of the Corvair Forum love to be helpful in assisting other Corvair owners with technical support and advice, but it helps a lot if we have some understanding of your technical background and mechanical abilities, Corvair-related knowledge, etc. Helping us to know more about you will help us to write comments to you that are tailored to your needs and experience. Knowing your location is also useful, because knowing where you live can sometimes suggest possibilities.

Thanks for the complements. I been working on cars and bikes as a hobby for years. The Camaro, I bought when I graduated high school in 1976. I raced and rode motorcycles til my back gave out. I was looking for something else to enjoy when I realize Corvairs was reasonably priced. I been going thru the car wanting to get it vacation worthy. Its a fun little car especially with the top down, the wife enjoys riding in it.
