i guess it has a limp home mode just like the northstars. if you lose coolant, you can still drive it home.

i'll be able to take pics of it this weekend.

I love second-gen Corvairs! Please get those pictures up asap, sir.

You said "GM convertible".

I said, "he wound up getting a Cavalier convertible, didn't he..."

Not a bad looking ride; I've always thought the second generation Corvairs to be good-looking. Post some pics when you see it!

i hope he doesn't try to take me for a ride in it. I hear corvairs are unsafe!

I wonder if i can talk him into putting spinners / dubs on it.

Edited by regfootball

no you don't sonny.

I've seen a "FK NADER" plate on the back of a Corvair before...kinda wish I had got a pic.

Very sweet, Reg!

Lookin' forward to seeing those pics this weekend :).

Now now, Custom-S, don't be jealous.:smilewide:

reg, as a surprise, you should stop at Pep Boys and pick up a set of plastic chrome 13" spinner hubcaps for your dad's car, the ones that light up. He'll be so proud of you!

I love Corvairs. Almost bought a 1966 4-door hardtop Monza 110 in 2005.

Sweet. I love Corvairs.

Ohhhh....NICE!!!!!!!!!

Looks like he bought himself a gorgeous Corvair, reg! I can imagine how giddy your Dad is :).

Thanks for sharing the pics!

Looks really nice. I wish what my dad bought and what your dad bought was switched around :P

BOING!!!

Very nice, reg. Ooooo, and it's a 4 speed car.

  • Author

nope, 3 speed. 1st gear no synchro. my dad said the one he had back in 60-something was a four speed, but he said this one is only a 3. unless he is clueless...?

Your dad is right, reg. 3 and 4 speed manuals were available on Corvairs in '65.

he got a good deal on it too........

He he ... I imagine that led to part of his giddyness ;).

I saw a Corvair on the way to work today, actually. I saw it drive by and thought of you and your Dad right away. This one wasn't a convertible, tho it was red!
