I love seeing Corvairs at autocross events.
(but that brown 911 with the sunlight on the windshield is what catches my eye!) edit- Look at the inner door handles! That's great... Must of had a donor car with parts falling off of it. And then the center shift console comes into view. Love it! Last edited by LEAKYSEALS951; 04-18-2020 at 05:18 PM.. |

I learned to drive in a white 65 Corvair... It was a fun little car. I'll bet that one is a hoot!

The owner joined us on one of the Targa California events. Though a work in progress, you could see the tremendous amount of work and details that went into it. I think it is really cool.

Many years ago, I wanted and thought about getting a Corvair, but at the time, I was poor and the parts were expensive and much harder to get than other cars so I passed. My dad had a couple/few when he was younger.

65 corvairs had a weak output shaft in the 4 speed it broke eazy and often
for 66 they fixed it by using vett guts in the 4 speed corvairs so some clever guys made a kit to drop a v8 the backseat |

Banned but not out, yet..

I know this will not be a popular opinion because this is primarily a rear engine, air cooled tribe, but I have never been a fan of Corvair styling inside or out. Found it to be another stylistically bereft GM product. My uncle had one for many years and I found VW Bug styling superior. Putting 993 power and running gear as much a travesty as putting a jet turbine engine in a paddle wheeler. Oh yes it is an engineering feat, but it is still a stern wheeler. P.S. popularity is overrated except by the insecure.
