Beautiful car. I had a '65 red Corsa turbo 4 spd in '71. 12:23 No muffler but a 3 inch pipe out of the turbo. F70 14s on back and 6.00 13s on front. Wish I had it now.
One problem, no wastegate. ;-) Growing up, our family had a 64 Monza convertible (110 / 4sp), later on I had a 66 Corsa convertible (140 / 4sp). My Mom worked at a tire store and was given a free set of Michelin radials, it was funny seeing mechanics shake their heads when my five foot and a bit mom tried to tell them the tires weren't flat. ;-D
Nice 1965 Chevrolet Corvair Corsa Coupe ! The 1st automobile I drove was a 65 Monza 4 door 110 automatic when I was 14 & I've been in love with them since & I've owned 4 since the late 80's & still have 3 of them . The 1st was a 65 Corsa Coupe Turbo, 2nd was a 60 model 700 4 door 80 HP auto. trans.3rd was a 64 Greenbrier Deluxe 6 door 110 automatic & 4th a 67 Monza Convertible 110 automatic the only one I sold was the 60 with many regrets , But i still have the other 3 . You did forget to mention the 95 HP that was the base engine from 64 thru 69 , & on the Corsa instrument gauge they came with a trip meter as well . thanks for the video & your 65 Corsa Turbo is really nice & looks pretty original.
Darrell, the '63 Stingray introduced the rear suspension design that the '65 Corvair used with coil springs versus transverse leaf on the Vette. I was raised on flathead Fords too.
Nice video and beautiful car but I have to say that Corvair engines are not certified or approved by the FAA for use in aircraft. The reader/builder therefore assumes the entire responsibility and liability for incidents of any kind involving the use of a Corvair engine they may eventually convert, build, buy, install or use in an experimental aircraft.
Idle seems a little low for an engine with over 1 hp per cubic inch. Holding the mic closer to the exhaust should offer more of the raspy purr we know and love.
The car model that went from one of the ugliest, to one of the best looking (IMO) of the era. Cool Corsa, Darrell. Your gator hide boots are bad ass too!

Hahaha funny story. Turbo doesn’t produce enough boost for a waste gate

Thank you, Darrell knows more about the Corvair than I. I just like featuring cool old American Iron.
Beautiful !! Those rims and the stance is perfect .
Thx for watching. He bought a nice car. I’ll convey your likes
Excellent sound this time. Beautiful looking cars. Like the red T.
Thanks man. Got new mic’s. But my went out a couple times. Next vid should be better.
Love my Corvairs all of them
They are nice. Thanks for watching
Aiiii glad to see a new car!
About as new as it gets.
Nice shop!!!

Agreed. I wouldn’t trust it on airplane.
Came for the Corvair, stayed for the T! When I see one of those 60hp flat eights I get some very dangerous ideas that are hard to ignore.
Thanks man. Remember loud pipes save lives. Like your speedster exhaust.
I own 3 Corvair Corsa's, a 65 vert, 65 140, and a 66 140
Great they are fun cars.
Engine sounds rough.
Air cooled motors are loud , water helps muffle the sound

When do you plan to offer this Corvair?
Car is not mine. It is not for sale.
