    Not far wrong: the Camaro owes its styling to the Corvair's mid-cycle refresh in '65, so much so that if you want a good air dam for the front of your late model Corvair, you buy the one that fits on the first m.y. Camaro...

    My grandfather found a 65 in really good shape when I was 5 years old, we got it home and started working on it. We stripped it down and he walked me through the brake system, along with the fuel system. Showed me how to rebuild the carburators and we had made it our little project to restore it. Here we are fifteen years later and she's sitting in the paint booth completely ready to have a new coat of shine put back on her. Sadly my grandfather passed away early this year, and we never got to finish our long awaited project. It's really nice to see one and it's allways good for people to see and understand some of America's different vehicles, especially air cooled engines in these interesting corvairs

    My 1st car was a 65 Corsair w/140 hp, 4sp, full instr, bucket seats, dark green w/metal flake. It would top out at 110 mph. Stock small block v8s could not out run me. Problems: exhaust leak into the driver/passenger compartment, oil leak around the pushrod seals. Ralph Naders "roll over" problems were fixed with a change to the rear suspension. Design 1st: rear engine, air cooled, unibody construction. Bad press (Nader) killed the car. Aftermarket parts fixed the exhaust leak, and oil leak. Engine was used in home built aircraft.

    @@LCASTV actually nader rightfully criticized the first series and praised the 65 and later. i read unsafe at any speed. the actual fault was corporate GM. they saw no point in building a competitor to the camaro. i owned several early ones and can attest to that exhaust leak. i passed out (exhaust leak), flipped (swing axle rear) and ended up in a ditch on the other side of the road. GM was aware of the problems because my '60 model had a separate gasoline heater mounted in the trunk. your old corsa was one i always wanted but never found at a price i could afford.

    Love it! Had a 62 Monza 2dr in college in NE Ohio about Jan to May 68. It, too, was a Powerglide with the little shifter knob on the dash. Mine was a rust belt victim, rusted out floors and engine compartment over the battery. Sold it for another period car but always liked the car. Dependable and warm in the Youngstown Winter. This one looks very solid and maybe only surface rust on the front floors. If the guy gave you all of the parts, it looks like a good restorable car. Paint and reassemble! Hope she gets a good home.

Started with changing the fuel pump (reason it got parked), then it needed the injectors serviced, new battery put in and now the alternator doesn't seem to be working. And yet, the a/c still blows as cold as the day I parked it.

    Had the same car in high school. Picked up for $250 for a runner with a bad shell, and a shell minus a driveline. Both 66 models, base, manuals. Got them a week after my 15th birthday. Had the keeper up and going a month before getting my permit. Mom and dad did the shakedown drives, and I practiced with it and mom's 85 caravan. Drove it on the farm for testing, after chores, and got to know the car well. Never did a resto on it. Ended up driving it 6 years, and passing it on to a friend that helped build my 58 belvedere, as her first car. Then to her little sister, who parked it at home, after graduation. Sat for a few years, then her parents consodered selling it. Upon inspection, they saw it was solid, not pretty, but only surfaxe rust, and small dings. They got it running, sent us the driveline, and we rebuilt it, with a slight overbore. Car looks, and runs, showroom new. Still see it at shows regularly, left to her older brother, when mom passed. Other than our 4WD trucks, and my sister in laws Fiero, I've never driven a better vehicle for a Great Lakes winter. Other than air cooled heaters. Ended up installing pair of 12 V electric units. Fun little car.

    65 Corvair convertible was my first legal ride, [had a 57 Plymouth at age 14] 4 speed, found a note book under driver seat with all work done on the car up to 295 thou miles. Dealer told me it had 68,000. Close ! Drove it to college, about 70 mile round trip, it threw a quart of oil all over the motor each way, [yes 2 qts a day]. Guy really wanted it, sold it to him, he didn't believe me about the oil, blew the motor in 3 days. I really liked it it was a blast to drive, my uncle worked for GM offered to get me new drive train, but Dad said no way, he helped me buy a new 70 Chevy Nova. Corvairs are still a fav. of mine.

    My grandmother had a Corvair in the 60's until Ralph Nader reported that they were dangerous in high winds because they had no weight in the front end. She put concreate blocks in the front to add weight. Then by the time I got into high school I had a friend who owned a Spyder version of the Covair. I remember that he carried around a gallon glass bottle to buy bulk oil from a local Star gas station so when you filled it up gas, you could fill it up with oil too :) It was a fun car to ride around in. They always reminded me of being the American verson of a Volkswagon.

If it breaks and the car overheats the cylinder heads melt so you definitely don’t want to do that

    I had one back in '79. (4-on-the-floor) #1 thing, if there's ANY blow-by make sure the dip-stick is notched in the tube, it WILL blow out and take most of the oil with it! Also check the push rod tubes once it warms up, they do tend to leak oil. #2. don't leave the spare tire in the engine compartment, the nose on those cars are too light, and they can hydroplane very easily. I used to carry 2 cinder blocks in there as well, made a huge difference in the handling. That looks like a 110 model, I had the 140, drank a lot more gas! Those cars did not have a lock steering, so a simple switch/button will work, the starter I think was on the underside, on the right side?

    That is a 1966 Corsair Monza: 164 cu.In. / 2.7 litres, 2 x 1bbl. Rochester carbs and hydraulic valve lifters = 110 HP. It has a mechanical fuel pump driven off the cam - and it is located between the two idler pulleys on the cooling fan belt drive system. The ignition is definitely a points system (the first electronic ignition systems didn’t emerge until the early 1970s). The Ralph Nader beef was with the pre-‘65 Corvairs which had a swing axle rear end (like an early VW Bug). In 1965, Chev went to a double U-joint rear axle setup like the Corvette uses. Those later gen cars handle great and were quite fast - but the damage had been done and the 1968 Corvairs were the final year. Oh, one more thing: leaving the key on will not cause the coil to explode - but it will cause the point contacts to be burned.
