Want to see a Corvair thread?
I've been toying with a real pile (seriously) of a Corvair. I tell people it keeps me off the streets. LOL. Started out thinking Rust-Oleum rebuild. Super cheap fun and flip. Well it has gotten out of hand, like projects do. Day 1.

Re: Want to see a Corvair thread?
Id like to see a build thread. I picked up a non running 65 convertible several years ago and shoved it in the barn. I doubt Ill ever do anything with it. Ive considered putting it up for sale but Corvair prices are still pretty low so its almost not worth bothering with. When my little shop opens up again, probably next summer, I might drag it home if I still have it. Sure takes up less room than one of our trucks. It will make my shop seem large =)

Re: Want to see a Corvair thread?
OK you talked me into it. Now if I can organize my pictures. It has been fun and frustrating all at the same time. I tell people Corvairs are not Chevys! Everything has been a learning experience. (which is a good thing?)

Re: Want to see a Corvair thread?
boring 110 HP with a PG. Ran good but little did I know. CG, is yours a 140? 4 speed? That is the desired combo.

Re: Want to see a Corvair thread?
Some during shots....And yes it'll be worth way less than what I have in it. Such is life. LOL
Not sure why the wonky photos. The Camaro valance was out of my pay grade. Good idea, have since seen it done on another LM Corvair.
