Since this Poll started 11 years ago, I am curious if it automatically adjusts with each year that passes by? :think:

No it doesn't. I had to change my answer when I turned 56. Actually I'm about to be 57 and I just now changed it.

I'll be 76 in April. I still work 2 days a week at the Chevy dealer, do carry-in Corvair work at home for other club members, sell a few parts, and drive and maintain the 6 cars and motorcycles I have.

The fans in a Corvair ranged from 1960 to 1969. 10 years. LOL

Just turned 65, started Medicare, and am the youngest of three boys. My 88 year old mom was tickled to see it. :tu: :clap:
Happy to be a part of the "new to me" Corvair World. Only regret is that I waited WAY too long. :doh:

Excellent!
Most people can't drive a manual or change a tire.
I was 19 when I got my first Corvair.

69 and just bought my 2nd Corvair. 1st was a 61 900 with a PG in Dec1973 in Navy (I was 18). 2nd is a 64 Monza, 140-PG, with a spyder dash implanted. Gotta open the PG indicator hole in the instrument panel after it's finished at Shades and delivered. Wanted a stick, but wife can't drive one, and she definately wants to drive this one. Compromises, compromises. Maybe get a 65-66 Corsa in a year or 2 for me to drive.

:welcome2: :goodpost: :dontknow: :think: :shhh:

Can you tell us more about your Corvair... and about you??? Is your Corvair in good running condition and drivable? Do you perform your own maintenance on your Corvair? At 14 I started working on my parent's 1965 Corvair and learned to perform basic servicing and tune-up work. At 16 my father purchased a $100 1963 Corvair 500 that had a frozen engine and badly needed repairs. His hope was to provide me with a "project car" to learn on. He also provided a garage, hand tools, Corvair shop manuals, and financial support for my engine overhaul project. I spent my high school summer vacation learning how to remove the engine from the car, and how to tear the engine apart for a complete rebuild and overhaul. It was 1969 and slow going, but I managed to remove the engine without dropping it on my head! I carefully disassembled the engine and cleaned and organized all of the parts.By the end of my summer vacation I had a running, rebuilt engine! (I eventually transplanted that engine into a better 1962 Corvair Monza coupe that had no engine, and drove that car for several years! ::-):

So please tell us more about yourself, and about your Corvair. Some detailed photographs of your Corvair would be great!

I've been a Corvair fan ever since I laid eyes on my Grandpa's beautiful '63 soft top at the age of 7. 10 years later and I'm buying a '65!
