anyone here had or own corvairs?

[jtdesigns]

My uncle had one a long time ago,,, I had a hamster at the time and I always thought it looked like my hamster.. It had a big butt.. (history tid-bit) the turbo muffler was invented for it.

My pop had two of them when I was a kid. Bought them brand new!!

 

Pretty neat until the "O" rings went and we got gassed out.....

 

 

I hadn't seen one in decades. Then just the other day I saw one at a local watering hole...

There is a convertable one listed in the local trading paper. I always thought they were cool, but I bet their owners are strnager then MJ owners :nuts: being that they are older and rarer

Some guy here in Flint has what seems to be a Corvair graveyard. For as long as I can remember He has had this commercial property with no less than 30 corvairs in every shape and style they made. He won't sell any they just sit there and rust away. :nuts:

My dau & her husband have a 2dr HT w the flat 6 in it. It runs & is in restoration process when she's not doing sum-thun to her MJ. I think they recently did the paint on the Corvair. :roll:

My first car in high school was a 65 Corvair Monza. It was an ugly puke green color. Took it to Earl Scheib and he painted it midnight blue...for $29.95!

I used to own a rampside pickup, I do miss that thing . The rust on it was to bad for a resto so it went to a guy in jax fl that needed it for parts

 

it was an orgon donor

Had a brand new Corvair Monza in 1969. Kept it till 1985. Owned any number of others from Rampsides to Greenbriars, Several Corsa's some 4 doors and more.

 

Had fun with them for many years.
