Three barn find Corvairs

Post by JeMcDowell »

hey Corvair fans, I recently came across three Corvairs in a garage here in Fernandina Beach. The elderly widow wants to sell them, and clear the space in her garages. I’ve attached the three image files that are the VIN Data tags. All are dusty, but complete and original. A coupe, sedan and convertible with the 140 hp engine. While very cool, Corvairs aren’t my thing, but I’d love to see them go to a great home. The coupe and sedan are 1966 models, the convertible has had a respray and is a 1965.

So, what do the data tags tell us?

When decoding ACC line on the Fisher bodytags, be aware that bodytags do not include any options that did not require any body modification be done by Fisher. Fisher was only concerned with items that required modifications during the assembly of the body. A good example is that you won’t find Telescopic column listed on the bodytag. Although this is a major option, it did not require any special consideration during body assembly.
