Bringing home a beautiful '66 Corvair 500
Спорт
I now have four Corvairs, and yet to have driven one. If it wasn't for my Grampa taking me to get ice to make ice cream in his four door Corvair, I would have not even ever ridden in one, nor would I likely be so in love with them. This new addition is my favorite so far and I can't wait to get her running and driving again!!

If Rodney had this car I would be jealous! Cheers! :)
I really want one of these Corvairs, but they're hard to find here in Europe.
That's a really solid looking Corvair, & to find one that close to home is another plus not to mention only paying a grand for it. I did notice a couple of things about it 1- being someone painted the instrument housing, & glove box to look a 65. 2- the badges on the fenders are for a 500 model; So it's not a Monza, But it has the Monza emblem on the glove box. 3- The wheel well trim, & the trim around the rear cove are for a Monza, But the rocker trim, & roof gutter trim is missing which is normal for a 500 model. If that is the original power plant that would have been optional for both the 500, & Monza model. 4- having a 140 engine as well as a manual trans. is a big plus; Both front, & rear seats have been redone, the front seats are not original for a 66.That again is a great find, & IMHO is worth more than what you paid for it being that it is probably a 500 model which are quite rare because nobody saved them, & if that is the original 140 that came with the 500 model ( optional ) that would make it even more rare. Again that is a great find, & I would like to know more about the car once you find out more.

Thanks for all the info! I can't wait to discover more. I thought it was a Monza 500, but now understand what you're saying. It's a 500. Thanks again and happy you checked out the vid and made comments. More soon! Cheers!
