my dad had one of these in 1964. he let me drive it to the high school dance. guys that had cars in those days were the gods of the school . one of my best buddies had a new GTO with a Hurst 3 speed on the floor and my other buddy got to drive his dads jet black Corvette . wow were we lucky !
I go all the way back to 1960 with Corvairs. Ordered my first at 18 in '63....black on black convertible Monza. Later picked up a used '64 Spyder convertible yellow on black. It's in my barn...my retirement fund.
Oh Yeah!! Upon high school graduation, my folks handed the keys of a 65’ Corvair Monza 4 speed coupe over to me( my first car ).. ! Lots of fun indeed! Actually, a very affordable classic in today’s market place.. There still remains the Corsa Club of America for Corvair enthusiasts! Also, Clark’s Corvair parts in Massachusetts is your resource for thousands of replacement parts!
When I was a kid, my parents had an otherwise identical 4 door hardtop 63 Spyder. Same black and red interior. My mom drove it all the time so she was used to it, but my dad always drove his pickup truck so he could never find reverse in it.
We had a regular Corvair but it just didn't have enough power to pass easily; you really had to wait your chance. We upgraded to the Monza Spyder, and that had all the get up and go you needed and then some. Yes, you needed to keep a spare fan belt; but in a pinch a pair of panty hose would do well enough to get you to where you could get a proper belt. The front end was a bit too light, but a small sack of cement or sand would take care of that.
@@oliverbahr8677 i don't see why not. If my commute wasn't as long as it is, I definitely would. But being a convertible though with old seals, its not ideal.
We had one of those back in the mid 70's and my Dad thought it sounded like a cream separator was in the trunk when we were on the highway! It was a fun car, but he only kept it for about a year or so. He gave something like $75 for it on an auction and sold it for $400.
Only one chapter was dedicated to the Corvair (Chapter 1), second NHSTA verified that Nader was wrong, and third, sales were really killed by the more affordable and more powerful Mustang
Yeah, you mean like for whites, while blacks were still fully seggregated? Come'on, you're not even trying... Don't use this nice channel for your bullshit and enjoy the car. Thanks :)
Still USA most exotic car made ! F6 AC engine turbo charged in 62! Porches did not have a F6 engine till 65, & no turbo till 76 & Yenko Stingers out handle Corvettes! say it aint so . ( JUST THE FACTS MAM )
Volkswagons, Porsches,Triumph Spitfires, early Pontiac Tempests/Le Mans all had similar rear end set-ups as well.I wonder why he didn't go after them?? Actually the Chevy Camaro and Pontiac Firebird along with the other pony cars killed the Corvair. GM had plans to discontinue it before Ralfies book came out.
according to Schlabubvvigkeit Laws in Germany and many EU states all gas cars are forbidden from 2030 on and even before that they will bann all brakes and tires due to fine dust!!!!
The corvair was NOT a dangerous car. only ignorance is! The Tucker car had a 8:06 😅😅😅 8:06 8:06 8:06 horizontally opposed Water cooled engine different from its original air cooled design.

Had a 1962 the same color combination and loved it. Difference was that we knew how to drive back then and didn’t use excuses for our own mistakes.
I remember being at the drag racing track in '65. A Corvair Spyder was out running the GTO's! It didn't spin the tires, just went!

My dad Marshall Hesler was the President of the San Diego Corvair Club in the early 1970s. Loved them!
Beautiful car. Nothing beats a convertible. I could see myself driving this car in California where you can have the top down practically everyday.

Fun, practical and budget-friendly classic car! Corvair engines are used and loved by home-built aircraft owners. Tells you something.
I love the black paint with red interior.
The best vette ever produced
Vintage cars are great
Finally a EM Corvair! Please make a LM Corvair video.
i love my non turbo 63 900 convertible. fantastic car to own, drive and extremely easy to work on.
How long have you owned it?
@@windingroadmagazine bought it December 2018 - 18 months or so
Would you say it's a possible daily driver?

Interesting. I have not really heard about this cars. GM seems to have done some ground breaking work at that time.
I have a 66 Monza convertible
I love it
Pretty sure the Tucker had a rear mounted air-cooled engine.
Yes it did. I think it was a aircraft engine that had been proven and in use for a long time.
I had a ‘62 Monza Spyder. Wish I had it now…
It's a car that makes life fun ♪
I love this car my dad had agreen one in63 after that 65 chev no mad nice

Gertie!
My first car was a 62 while Corvair convertible. It look like a bath tub
A car video without driving it, or even starting the motor for us to hear? What's up with that? BTW I love Corvairs, wish I still had one.
I want this car, this year, & convertible
Did it have a reliable engine? Was it a quality vehicle?
A special car from an era when America was still doing well
Yeah, you mean like for whites, while blacks were still fully seggregated?
Come'on, you're not even trying...

Wrong headlights, side mirror, chrome exhaust extention as well as belt guide, and rear grille. Voltage regulator incorrect too....
GM can I get a Beetle?
No we have a Beetle at home
