It's very rare to find RU-vid content about the Corvair that isn't clickbait garbage about the supposedly poor or unsafe design, so THANK YOU for posting two good videos about these cool cars! (If you couldn't tell, I'm a Corvair enthusiast and owner of 2). Keep the content coming and good luck with the channel!
Loved the video. When I was around 4 and 5 years old, my Dad had several Corvairs including a rampside pickup just like the one towards the back of your shop (white with a red stripe). I currently own a '69 Z/28 but would honestly rather tool around in a nice red/white (or white/red) Corvair rampside. Thanks so much for posting this.
My first Truck! '61 Ramp side white/gold interior. Sold it in 82 for $400! Everytime I saw it drive by years later I punched myself......It made loading Fridges to 3 wheelers easy!
I find it really great that you made a buyer guides for these very underrepresented vehicles! but I have to critique you on something: You seem to forget an important part of a buyers guide: Talking about models, model years, production numbers, model changes, and interior options. Example: Model changes -1963 shifter style change -1964 redesigned rear accessdoor design -1964 rear anti sway bar It is kinda important for a buyer to know some things about the history of the car they wanna buy, especially if you look at something as unloved as corvairs (lots of part switching) Still I appreciate your effort, keep it up!
Thanks for the feedback! It's hard to know where to draw the line and not turn it into an hour long video. Thanks for providing more details in the comments, feel free to do more, I'm sure future viewers will appreciate reading more details down here.
Does this place do customer repairs, and engine work? I’m in Wisconsin and I have an old panel van that is struggling to stay together. Not as bad as the one in the video but getting there. I’m looking at sending it to Corvair ranch, but the van is very important to me and I’m worried after shipping it there they won’t repair it.
My Uncle had a bunch of Corsair’s all put away on shelves and in a yard in Apache junction Arizona his name is Howard Boso if your looking he may still have parts not sure
Thank you for the video. I'm looking at buying a corvair van and modifying it into a family van. I can use all the info i can find. I live in SW MO and would be very interested in meeting you or your friend to gain some knowledge.
There's a "Corvairs of SW MO" Facebook group that might be good to connect with, as well as your local CORSA chapter. Lots of good Corvair people down that way. Shade's Classic Cars in Hastings, NE is always a good stop if you're in the area as well!
