Will it Run and Drive after 10 years?! Project Corvair goes UP in FLAMES!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Join us on an adrenaline-fueled journey as we breathe new life into a neglected classic, the iconic Corvair. After a decade of slumber, our mission was clear: could this forgotten gem still run and drive? But our quest took an unexpected turn when the Corvair faced its fiercest challenge yet-a literal trial by fire!
Watch as we meticulously revive the Corvair, coaxing it back to life with patience and perseverance. From the first tentative turn of the key to the triumphant roar of its engine, every moment is a testament to the power of restoration and determination.
But just when we thought the Corvair's saga couldn't get any more thrilling, fate intervened in the form of a rear-engine revelation. Witness as we unveil the ultimate upgrade.

Spent lots of road time with my best friend and his Corvair. We actually dropped the motor out of it just by removing the two fine thread nuts toward the back. Also remember my grandfather had a one wheel trailer back in the late 50’s.

And cool flips
I spent lots of miles behind the wheel of a 1962 Corvair convertible. Thankfully we never did a backflip! But we definitely felt the front lifting off the road once, to the point where I lost effective steering. A quick touch of the brake pedal brought the front back down and I regained control.

I say this as an FYI for your plans to drop the complete impala SS setup into the Corvair. Before doing any LS performance upgrades, get the transmission checked out, if not overhauled first. The 4T65E shit the bed with the 3.5L v6 so you can imagine the shortened lifespan bolted to a 300hp LS4, let alone a modified one. If you guys really plan on making stupid power with the corvair and not break the bank completely by going race car transaxle, consider looking for a 60’s-70’s Oldsmobile Toronado. Those came with a heavy duty turbo 400 that can handle a lot more power compared to the 4T65E and there’s no computer to deal with.

That is actually the way the car collects heat for the heater; those “bellows” are temp activated. 2nd gen Corvairs ‘65-69 are really underrated cars. Underpowered, but really cool. BTW, if that is a ‘66 4 speed, it’s worth some money. First time Corvair had a fully synchronized trans. 61-65 trans had no synchro first gear.
The rain shots at the intersection were absolutely epic !

Sounds like a hell of a plan, worried about that Trailer tire though doing a drag & drive. Unreal how that engine fired up & ran after sitting that long. Dad had an 66 Corsa back in the 80's, it was a stick with 4 Carb's instead of 2, FUN RIDE.

I guess we'll see how it does haha! Yeah it was surprising how well it started, usually we have problems with pulling gas or someone messing with timing, but since it was in the yard, we knew it wasn't fondled with too much hahaha
BTW, the engine sounded awful when it restarted after the fire because it was detonating because it was hot. Once it cooled off, it ran normally. Glad you didn’t wipe it out!
