I just came across this and thought i'd share it here. Probably alot of the younger guys on here don't even know what one is. I love my Corvair. It isn't a Corsa, but is Corsa powered ;) and plus some :giggle:. This is probably the only car i have ever kept this long and i've had a list of Muscle cars in my past too. But i cant ever bring myself to selling it.

I have always wanted a Corvair and nearly bought a 66 for my 1st car but it needed too much workThe American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money. -Alexis de TocquevilleOriginally posted by Fusion

My dad has had more Corvairs that I can remember to name, but the notables were a '65 and a '66 Corsa 140 and a '66 Corsa 180. From the time I was born until I was about 17, he spent restoring the '66 140. Added all kinds of performance items (big cam, roller rockers, Holley 390cfm 4 barrel, Carrera shocks, electronic ignition, headers/exhaust... the list goes on, it would pull to 7k RPM!). That was such a neat car and he sold it just as he was finishing the restoration after all those years, he never really got to enjoy the benefit of his labor/time. All that was unfinished were the wheels, it was still on the original Corsa hubcabs.
Turns out he made a deal with my mom that if he bought his '94 Porsche 968, he would sell the Corvair.'89 BMW 325is Zinnoberrot / '88 VW Jetta GLI 16v Tornado Red / '89 VW Jetta GLI 16v Tornado Red / '89 VW GTI 16v Bright Blue Metallic / '91 BMW 325i Black / '91 BMW 325i Sport Black / '92 VW GTI 16v Black / '92 VW GTI 16v Montana Green / '01 Audi A4 Avant TQM Silver Metallic / '01 VW Jetta GLX VR6 BlackComment

They are a different kind of car. But simple to work on! i always have a bunch of people coming up to me telling me stories about a Corvair in their life. When i had mine all stock looking, i always was getting thumbs up from grandparents lol.

Like Leno said, maybe we should thank him! The cars did have a production run for 10 years, so they wasnt really killed of early.Originally posted by Vince30 View Post That is what comes to mind for me when I think of Corvairs.
