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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

@@jessebianchi2631 No exactly. GM was going to kill the car 3 years earlier, they kept it in production in response to Nader so it would not look like they were legitimizing Naders claims. Nader is a politician and lawyer, NOT an engineer or mechanic. The National Highway Transportation Authority is the organization that tested the car in response to his book and found that none of his claims were true.

@@andrewdriver3318 i went to the links provided. all i saw was that evaluations were made but no data, descriptions or conclusions were presented. one page for each link. i'm sure there was more information somewhere but the site isn't easy to navigate. i'm somewhat familiar with automobile suspensions. after a few decades, you pick up things. i know that mechanical engineers only improve designs when problems arise. racing is a hell of a laboratory. front beam axles gave way to independent front suspension. rear suspensions went from rigid to swing axles to full independent rear suspension. i've driven everything from motorcycles to 18 wheelers. i know things. i can tell the difference in handling when i go around curves. most people might know how put gas in it and g o. did you know that improper tire pressure f/r in a corvair will turn a nice driver into a squirrelly, even frightening and potentially dangerous car?

@@jessebianchi2631 There is a button to download the full report. The short story is, all of the problems Nader designated were the result of user error like the one you describe or faults common to ALL cars at that time, like the heater exhaust leak you mentioned. When used properly the Corvair was no more dangerous than any other car of those production years. If you don’t operate the equipment as designed it will not operate as designed. If you use the improper loading in your mossberg it turns a nice shot gun into a bomb. The redesigned corvair suspension was a much better product. Interestingly, the Volkswagen Beetle used the same swing arm and tire pressure differential system as the corvair and made almost the same change in its 1960 model year.

I had a 61 or 63 Corvair. They had great air cooled engines. The body steel was thick as can be. The floor boards rusted out however. They're good cars when the parts are new. The suspension got dorky with age. Cheap 13 inch tires too.
