My older brother had one they put turn signals and mirrors on it but got a ground wrong if you touched the bars in the rain with the turn signals on weeeee you got zapped hard. You had to line up that cam indicator or get flung over the bars he used to pay me to start it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I mean it was YOUR decision to import the car to an area where few people know about them. You should have left it in the US. The fact that you spent all this money and decided to take it apart shows how much of an idiot you are. You should have only bothered to import it if you intended to keep it. Don't go whining to others about all the money you spent.
I always wanted a Dodge pickup when the Movie "ROUNDERS" WAS NEW / with GLEEN FORD and HENRY FONDA , I LOVED THAT MOVIE , IT WAS DONE LATER WITH PATRICK WAYNE , AND RON ---- ?? BACK IN THE LATE 60's 😊😊😊😊
Hello there..Really enjoyed the ride with you in the 64'.. My first car was a 62' Monza, 4 speed, with custom headers, dark metallic green paint, ( I restored the car top to bottom, started when i turned 15 years old, one year later i was taking my drivers test in it and enjoyed the journey for 4 or 5 years, and actually had the Corvair 95 Van( Corvan it was called i believe), a few years later.. Both the Monza an Van were outstanding vehicles. Now 55 years later, im completing a 1963 Corvair Monza, 4 speed, with headers that i designed after my 62' years ago. Im looking forward to getting it on the road very soon,( and reliving my teenage years..lol).. Anyway, i enjoyed your video of your 1964..( that has a somewhat modified redesigned rear suspension if i remember correctly)..This is Bill in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.. THANKS AGAIN...Keep those videos coming!!
I have a 64 Monza 4 door built here in Canada...several i have talked to that had them " back in the day" didnt know about the "staggered" tire pressures ( lower in front) to balance the handling). Many just assumed that it was the same front and rear, which exaggerated the rear weight bias and made the car very "tail happy".
I’ll be taking my 1964 Corvair on a two hour trip soon. Used to be my great grandpas car so I’m going to take my grandma to the old park and chew in her town once it’s legal. They really are great cars. Buzz along at 75 mph all day and just have fun, y’know? Though at highway speeds, especially on the auto or the 3-speed it’s about like being chased by an angry wasp!
We had 16 of them in our Regiment and we used them for exersize and to race in the army enduro championships. We didn't have the box or weapon carrier as they were only fitting to the mt350 of which we also had 16 of. The honda lightweights as they were called are an awesome bit of kit. I remember doing one race up near Beverly (Hull), and placing 47th out of over 400 riders. To get a bit more power out of them we extracted the exhaust baffling and took out the air filter snorkel. I also remember overtaking an XR650 and a KLX650 going through one of the wet sunken wash downs by jumping between them and landing 2 thirds of the way across. They're one of the best bikes that I've riden. I was in 19RA and were were a part of short lived 24 air mobile brigade (UK version of air cavalry).
I have loved the Corvair since they first came out. I was maybe 7 when we went to the dealership so my dad could buy a car. I threw a fit because dad would not buy the corvair. He told me he would buy me an ice cream cone. Lol.
