Corvair Forum

Amazing! Great photo!

So this is how the first season with "What If Yenko" project ended up

Congratulations!

I've seen a lot of custom Corvairs over the years, but your imagination, creativity, and the final outcome is truly extraordinary. Hard to believe a 1961 Corvair could be turned into such an exotic beauty 53 years after it emerged from the GM production line!



Corvair of the Year is coming up in November. I think you will have a pretty good chance at winning it, in spite of some fierce competition this year!

Thanks

Two nice pictures from a Norwegian Car Magazine right here:

Video of me talking about the Corvair from 27:50

Gonna take one more trip before the Corvair is going under the knife for more work and upgrade.
Gonna take the engine apart and give it a check up, restore all engine and compartment for an even better finish, new glass i also need.

Any tips for buying parts? Easiest and best with Clarks?
Feel that the glass is expensive...

A sparetire in front (ofcourse matching wheel) is also in the plans amongst many other bits and pieces

Of course your shipping and import costs would be unique, but I have found that it is more economical to ship everything in a single bulk shipment by consolidating all of your needs into a single order — probably Clark's is your best bet.

Maybe I missed it, but who manufactures those wheels and what are the specs? Do you have a website link for those wheels?

Depending on the diameters, widths and backspacing available, and the lug patterns, I am looking for larger wheels for my 1966 Corsa and was wondering about this wheel manufacturer. Thanks.

The wheels are XXR 513 16x8 ofset 0.
They are crazy cheap, a ebay link here: http://www.ebay.com/bhp/xxr-513" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I have painted the wheels Gulf orange (they was ordered black) and made the centercap custom (taken away the logo, some hours in them but well worth it)

No we would never tire of seeing your beautiful Corvair and its rave reviews. We love it! In fact your car has been my desktop on my computer for a very long time. I don't get tired of seeing it.
