@@FoamSquatch That's reassuring. The majority of manufacturers that were once known for impressive performance cars with manual gear boxes have decided that there aren't enough sold to "waste their time" and they've dropped them from production. A "dual-disc paddle-shift" doesn't cut it as a manual shift replacement! I guess we'll have to just troll the used market until we can't get parts any longer.
As a kid my dad had one. He spent 100s of hours restoring it and and tracking down parts. I am in my mid 40s now and seeing this clip reminds me of my youth. Beautiful rare car... too bad they didnt make too many.
Missing wheel well trim, rocker trim, hood and trunk "corvair" insignia , 140hp logo on hood and the inside trunk is not supposed to be red but speckeld gray, But awesome car.
Of course your talking but the sound does get through sometimes. In 71 i had a detroit business called Northwest Corvair Specialist. I like this one, i had a few really modified ones. Fun car for sure. Story, sometimes people would come in my shop and say they have a oil leak. I'd say at least its not empty.
My girlfriend bought a red 65 or 66 Corvair Corsa while I was serving in Vietnam. When I returned home we were married, and we drove it to my next assignment at Altus AFB in Oklahoma.We packed up all our things, including her dog and drove straight thru to Oklahoma non stop. I remember it had multiple one barrel carbs (with a four speed the best I can remember). It gave no mechanical problems whatsoever during the trip there or back a year and a half later to the East Coast. The next vehicle we bought was a 1970 Pontiac GTO.
First of all, Thank you for your service. We seem to have forgotten our Vietnam veterans, but I always endeavor to give them their due. Their war was possibly more horrific than any other, and their return (if they even did) was met with some of the most vile rejection ever encountered by a war veteran. You sir, are in my esteem. With regards to your bride's Corvair Corsa, I'm wishing you still possessed it. As a dolt myself back in those days, I too, probably would have given up a Corvair for a GTO. Full disclosure: I actually abandoned a 1960 Corvair for a 1964 Ford Falcon CONVERTIBLE, and then dumped it for a 1968 Chevy Impala sedan. To this day, I am amazed that I was never prosecuted for my gross series of automotive offenses. As penance, I am attempting to restore a 1946 Willis CJ2A Jeep.
Okay I will be buying my first corvair very soon and I don't know anything about them but I want this car because it's motor is in the back and it's air-cooled now that being said the Volkswagen bugs are like that too but they don't last over 100,000 mi so I've been told how many miles will a corvair engine go before it needs rebuilt with proper maintenance now change my oil every two thousand miles even these days are they better Bill and longer-lasting than the Volkswagen beetle?
My cousins each had a Corsa, and both had the IECO 4-barrel carb conversion; is there a performance advantage to having four, one-barrels, is it just a matter of not having to tune and balance four carbs? Why choose one set-up over the other?
I was told the aftermarket 4 barrel setups take longer to warm up being higher up off the engine. Also, the engine will cut out while taking sharp corners because of the high up carb.
@@deeferguson9272 I had a '66 Monza with 140hp I put the IECO Carter AFB 4-barrel on and did not experience engine cut out while cornering. Drove it from '68 till '76.
@@blnokc6793 After hearing that, I'm sorry I never installed mine ! I sure would love to fit fuel injection in a Corvair. I hear some have done so with Datsun 280z f.i.
What's the first thing your parents told you when handing you a camera for the first time? I'm pretty sure it was "hold the camera steady". The car was great... but the video making was amaturish at best. The camera was much too close to the car most of the time to ever get a feel for how the car actually looks in context. Next time, hire an 8 year-old to hold the camera. The results will be better.
My Dad a new one when I was in High School, BOY did I love that car!!! Even the same color!
Love the Millennial Theft Prevention System (clutch)
That's pretty sad but true...
@@MrGaryGG48 Not really. A lot of millennials are into Asian market cars, and most of them are manual

Boomer humor is very cringe 😂😂
Beautifully done! The body appears pretty flawless and the paint is gorgeous. Everything about is just right in opinion, nothing over done.
Very beautiful, second generation coupe is the best looking body style.
The lope in that idle suggests that it's got a rather decent cam in it. Love that red!
My stock '65 Corsa 140 HP sounded like that at idle.

I owned 66’ Corvair Monza in high school and college. Super fun car to drive. I wish this one was mine.
So did I. actually had two, a '65 and later a '66.
Never owned one but I loved how these cars looked. This one is a beaut!
This is one of the best looking and sounding Corvair's I have seen . I'm pretty sure it's going for a nice amount but worth every penny .
My dream machine.
GM Should re introduce these.
If they did idiots would make tires blow and roll it then sue GM!, Some liberal like Ralph Nader!.

VERY, VERY NICE!!!
Sounds like it has a hot cam! Very nice car.
My stock 140 Corsa idled like that.
@@lawrencegorman4872 I know that sound! My first car was a '65 Corsa.
miss my corvair corsa sniff was my first ride!
Me too!
I had a 1965 Corsa that I still miss. I haven't bought a GM product since then because they replaced this model with a Vega. Seriously?
That’s a real beauty , brings back fond memories .
I had a 65 Corsa Turbo 4sp.. In high school in 69... Once it got to about 110 mph the front end would lift and there was no steering.
They were designed for hiway speeds not Evel Knevel.
I had a 63 corvair and over 60 mph the steering started to feel light and a little lose.
I wish I had discovered this car before it was sold. I'm heartbroken. I had one, so I know what I'm missing.
Three year old video do wonder what it looks like now? Was lookin' good back then.👍
Just curious what it sold for. I really want to own one of these. Thanks!
Dang that sounds nice!
Excellent peace.

Sure wish that I could have another one. Owned 2 different 63's at different times I believe in 1965 and 1968
Slick car!
Great car man, congrats.
Very nice! Love it!
Beautiful car.
Thank you. Thats the car I've been looks for.
Really Nice 👍... manual pushrod fuel pump delete too... 👍👍👍
Discs? I added power discs to my Spyder... not that hard ....
OH, I WANT ONE JUST LIKE THAT…PLEASE.

It's missing the chrome fender trim and Corvair badging on the front valence and rear deck lid. Otherwise, nice car.
I agree
Love this car!! Would like to own it
Mike Bully same 👍
Beautiful!
A lost opportunity. We didn't get to ride in it. Oh well. I guess I can buy another one.
Well that's just GRE! Now I have to walk around with a semi all day.
😆😐.
The Mattel wheels really detract from the cars' look.
Beautiful car! 👍👍👍
What did it sell for? She’s a beauty.
They used the same model on Nextflix Queen´s Gambit! Almost the same car.

Omfg that's a nice car.
What year is the Cadillac Catera? I need seats for my 66 Corvair...
Nice car.
clean
I love the wheels! What size are those
3:07 ouch
I love the sound of an old fart slamming a hood in the moring.
Beauty
Have some money but just don't know if I have enough.
Jolene's car on Queen's Gambit

Lindo carro
How much did it sell for?
What's the asking price?
How much do you want for this am in Alvin?
That is all me, I want it, hit me up new owner!!
Can it move?

Nothing helps driveability like increasing the unsprung weight by several pounds per wheel. (sic)
I don't care for mirror looking paint it doesn't look original.
I like the paint but not the wheels.
