Hey guys I love all your shows and episodes 😂🔥
The Corvair or pretty fast especially if my uncle was a mechanic that car looks original
Badass! Been a favorite show of ours for some time. Cheers.
Hi! Thanks for watching #PawnStars on CZcams! Subscribe to never miss a great find or tough negotiation.
Sounds like Rick didn't know there was a transmission problem until she told him. Looks like its in incredible shape for a sixty year old car.
probably just the linkage needs adjusted.
He said the tranny had issues while he was driving it
Trust me for 10k you can get a pretty decent corvair with new paint and all
Rick: "Smells like there is an exhaust leak." Corey: "Uhhh, no dad. That would be the bean and cheese burrito I had for breakfast."
Nah it was the hamburgers and hot dogs.
Its so sad that shes trying to sell that beauty to pay for school. School is so ridiculously expensive its sad
*in america
Blame the university administrators for charging high prices for things students don't need. Like classes that will not get you anywhere in life and lead you in huge amounts of debt. Best advice for college is to not go unless your career your going into needs a certain degree for you to get a job in.
@@jaws392 Blame the US government for fully backing all student loans with taxpayer money.
This means the schools can just keep raising and raising prices and even if the student defaults, the schools will still get all of their money.
@@LuckyFlesh That too my tax money shouldn't go to useless degrees that will not get you anywhere in life. As we can see college education needs a drastic reform.
@@jaws392 I couldn't agree with you more.
I was waiting for the part when they say... "I know a guy"
😂
They always know the guy for everything
I know right ahaha.
I was waiting for this reaction
I think danny won't work with corvairs
"Blue book and my insurance has the value at 8000"
"Crash it"
I DIED
😂😂😂 yeah especially with how notoriously unsafe that car is
Google it this car car is now selling for $25,000
@@hbsoc200: That’s in mint condition I assume. That example in the clip wouldn’t come close to that number considering the issues noted.
@@hbsoc200 That would be for a fully restored one
Corey: “I’m gonna offer you $3000 because it’s going to cost me money to sell it, I have to take it to the car wash!”
A bit of a hyperbole but OK. Corvairs are basically a bug, buy it for 3-5 k, put 5k in, then sell it for 10k
There's an exhaust leak according too Rick, things need to be updated for it probably; they have to take it to a repair shop and have it done, that's going to cost them money.
@@KionTheLion Its rear engine.... how is he gonna smell an exhaust leak unlike front engine cars no part of the exhaust runs under the cab
Corvairs are great cars! Glad she held out and didn't take their lowball offer. If that is actually a Monza coupe like it appears, those are the rarer '60 models! I absolutely love my Corvairs! I have early models, late models and forward controls! Plus the powerglides are virtually bulletproof! Most likely low on fluid or needs a new shift modulator.
Dude, I fully support your love of Corvairs and your collection because it makes you happy. But i'm sure there's stuff I'm interested in like sports memorabilia or early computers you wouldn't be as interested or have the critiques. Since this is a business that has to sell something they gave a pretty darn fair offer. It's not cheap to house a car til you find the right collector.
The only way she’d get the price she was seeking was if the car got totaled (hence Corey’s remark during negotiating). No way someone pays that with the issues noted.
"Bad transmission and sloppy steering."
What did they expect? It's a 50 years old oldtimer - but it's still a quite collectable one in decent shape!
$3000 is way too low imho, she did the right thing.
Well, it’s also a Corvair. Corvairs don’t have the best reputation when it comes to structural integrity, especially when it comes to steering. And that’s not taking into account the obviously horrendous lack of safety features, which as said in the video was the inspiration for much stricter safety standards in all cars that came after the Corvair.
Plus the body looked great, didn't look like it had any rust, and it looked straight. Very solid considering its age
@@ThMnWthNNm Where are you getting the structural integrity nonsense? They were/are solid cars. If you let them rust, that's one thing, but they're 60 year old cars. I've seen 30-year old cars with more rust than a lot of Corvairs.
@@joshuaramirez6121 You only saw a little bit of it
yeah I've seen some yugos that don't have very much rust in them. I think you actually have to pay someone to take one from you though.😅
She should have drove it over to the count and see if he wanted it
2:57 Rick : You've got the keys?
Girl : I just brought the car in front of you ! 😂🤣😂
One of these was on wheeler dealers and sold for over 18000 when it was finished.
$6k is a fair price, $8k is what it would sell for if someone wants it.
What does the meaning of pawn shop don’t you understand
@DeltroxTv No Rick rips people off. The was worth way more than they were asking
@@Len1977gt That's like saying McDonalds rips people off because they have about .32 cents in a large Coke but sell it for a dollar. No one is forcing anyone to sell their stuff to the pawn shop. Most of the time they have an expert who gives the retail value and then Rick comes back and offers them 50% less. A normal person would say, "No thanks, I want to get retail price" and then go sell it to a retail buyer. But Rick is a wholesale buyer and he will sell it at retail. That's the way the world works and if you don't understand that then I am sure you are an employee and not an employer.
6k ain’t fair. I don’t think it sells for more than 5.
@@Len1977gt OF course it was! How would they sell it if they gave the retail value??
Well when the romance is set at 10000 and you can only flash out 3000..you use your hand!!
My dad loved Corvairs. He had a few over the years, including a turbo Monza Spyder.
Corey was absolutely ruthless !
In the early '70's, I was riding along with a friend in his Corvair. Suddenly, we hear this crash and horrible scraping noise coming from behind, as the car stopped running. Friend turns the ignition key. Nothing. Gets out and opens the rear hood. The engine was laying on the ground. I thought it was hysterical. My friend did not see the humor.
LMFAO hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha
Sounds like he should have checked his engine mounts!
If I had a nickel for every story in the comment section about the engine falling out, I’d have 2 nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice…
I had a friend in high school who had one of these and we would deflate the tires and turn onto the railroad tracks. You wouldn't need to steer unless a train was coming. It was fun but it sure was stupid. Only did it once.
I want to grow up in your era. Probably 5 felonies now just for that
The Corvair wasn't any more dangerous than any other car of the same period, it just had the bad luck to be Ralph Nader's sacrificial lamb to open American's eye on car safety.
Corey kills me at times with his responses
Idk why, but I’ve fallen madly in love with that girl. What an adorable face.
Good lord dude. Stop being a creep. Can't a woman just do her own thing these days without being leered at by creeps
Down bad
@@mrlouisvashi So you hide your eyes every time you pass a female?
@@wlonsdale1 nope, I don't oogle at them or make them feel like they are property.
2:02 must be Count’s Danny!😂
You would have thought they picked up on that, maybe they already knew!
I think Danny from counts kustoms was the one following her
They were rough on this girl. I heard a lot of women get taken advantage of if they go by themselves to car dealerships and negotiated or price. Always take a man with you when buying or selling a car, it’s sad but true
NOt any rougher than anyone else
"I've gotta pay a guy a thousand bucks to frame it".
Glad she kept it, really cool car, and for English fans, looks like a double headlight Hillman Imp from the front.
That was a nice car. Somebody wants it. Was fun to watch. Great video
Rick “can we take it for a spin?”
Bianca “yeah”
Rick “you got the keys?”
Bianca “no Rick, I carried it on my back.. 😒”
Hahahaha
:D :D
That's a general way of asking for the keys. What did you want him to say? 'Give me the keys!"?
Plot twist, it was Danny Koker following her to ask about the car
First: steering sloppy because too much air in front tires. Second: exhaust leak needs new donuts. Third: transmission is an easy fix. Most were Saginaw and easily rebuilt. Or new cable needed.
How do I know? I've owned 16 and currently own 5. Corvair was the first car I bought in high school. Been enamored ever since.
They are a niche car but if you are looking for a collectable they are affordable.
i run 18 front 32 rear in my vairs bet it had 32 all around
my dad has raced many vehicles. he is 87 years old and still drag races. he says he used to race these in the 8th of a mile they did it to have fun. he said you could change out the motor in these cars and literally minutes there's only one bolt that held the motor to the frame which made it ideal. they actually kind of did it to have something to do in between the other drag races when they were racing the big boys.
She looked like she was on the verge of tears when she said she couldn't take the 3k cause it was to low of an offer. Her face says it all, this was one of her last ditch efforts to go to school and not be in debt and now she's gotta figure something else out. I know this feeling all too well. Poor girl.
Yep, Pell grants or student loans like the majority of people
Right, and you know what the best thing to figure out is? Don't go to college. This idea that if you don't go to college you are going to be a loser and your life is over is old world thinking. Now days, college is not even worth the money unless you are going to go for ten years and become a doctor. There are McDonald's Managers that make more than people with a Master Degree these days. It just isn't worth it. Her time would be better spent going to a trade school of some sort to learn a specific skill, or getting a job that is willing to train.
Anyone else surprise that Rick didn't say
Let me call a buddy
🤣🤣😂😂
Chevy's interior looks similar to Christine's 😍.
Calm down there, Buffalo Bill.
Late 50s, early 60s styling was the best. My 67 Chevy c10 has a real nice, simple dash. Love the vintage stuff
Rick: Can we take it for a spin?
Seller: Yes. But you need to pay for the gas that you'll consume if you will not buy it.
Rick: 🙄🙄🙄
Chum took a moped across town in another episode, and got lunch lol
I'm 60 years old heck I would love to have this car this 1960 Corvair.
If I had a nice old car like that, I wouldn't take it to their Pawn shop. Only unless I wanted to get some free media time
Actually Rick wants money from the customer when he buys something. in his Dreams
Wasn't this the car line Ralph Nader ruined on lies?
how would you guys feel if you gave an asking price to Rick and he just does that heavy-lunged exhaled laugh he did at 4:46
"Crash it: LMAO Corey is a gangster.
i'm 60 and had a red corvair in a suburb of seattle when i was 18. slid out from under me in the rain all the time. pretty reliable and easy to fix though.
"Let her out Corey" these wolves already had the rollgate down after test driving it...thinking they had this one in the bag. Not today buddy, not today.
I learned to drive a stick in 10th grade, 1969......on a '61 Corvair that my dad had as his work car. First day I stalled it a million times.....the driveway, every stop light, etc. Second day?; I was drifting. Heavy car, under-powered, but....FUN.
Danny was definitely following her.
This is by far the funniest car pawn star episode I have ever seen
Doesn’t she understand that Rick has to get it framed?
“It’s gotta get hung up somewhere. It’s gonna sit. It’s not a fast sell.”
auction fees and i have power bills. phone and car insurance. food. smokes and booze to pay for
"yeah this guy followed me for 2 miles, he had tattoos and this massive headband on, plus he had this weird guy with him with horns on his head"
They are actually rather safe for the time and small retrofits for extra safety items like seatbelts and a colapsable steering column are very easy and reversable if someone wants it original for whatever reason.
The only thing remotly dangerous about it is the meat in the drivers seat, you cant drive it like a front engine car, it just is not how the dynamics work out, kinda like tge vw beetle and dome porsches.
And yes they are quite a durable car even with rust, im currently fixing mine because the floor and the corners neat the wheels are rusty and have holes but when i put a jack under a corner the thing really foes not flex.
In a way the early model might be stronger than the late because of the big ridges going along the side.
She should've told him it was owned by Steve McQueen. Then she could've gotten any price she wanted. 😂
The added height from the fuel pressure regulator makes the fuel lines to the carbs run ABOVE the fan belt. Good luck changing the belt!
wish i had it at 77
The Corvair was not a typical American Car. It appears that they were trying to produce a car that would have at least some of the power of the Porsche at an affordable price. The air cooled flat opposed 6 cylinder engine was a unique feature of the Corvair. The swing arm suspension in the rear did have some issues. If pressed to much, a rear wheel could "tuck" under causing the body to lean too much to the point where the car could roll over. It was tail heavy. An experience driver would be able to stay out of trouble with the Corvair. Basically it was like driving a Porsche except that you weren't out to drive at excessively high speeds.Since the Corvair was somewhat larger than the VW Beetle, it did have a usable rear seat. It also came in a 4 door version (until 1967) in addition to other body styles.
I died when Cory said "crash it"
Good for her
How dare a 55 year old car not be perfect before being restored. The audacity
And the price reflected that fact
@@wlonsdale1 Did you ignore the point on purpose? It has nothing to do with the price, and everything to do with rick being a cheap lowballer
3:16
That face
The ONLY Garbage Motors manufactured vehicle I'd ever consider owning is a first gen Corvair
Ugh, why is Corey even on the show, I get annoyed at the sight of him.
I think he played a good part here. Can't deny he was honest
It's called acting, Chumlee is also an actor and he's playing a fake role really well in order to make more money than you ever will
Cory is a waist too society
Yeah. He was super disrespectful to this nice girl and her car
I wasn't too far off. I guessed they'd offer $3,700.haha
Customer brings a Lamborghini Veneno Roadster to the shop...
*RIck: Best I can do is give you 2 grand for it*
Uh oh 😹😹😹😹
Rick kicks the car : now i ll give you 1700 because of the dent.
I was waiting for the "I know a guy" instead I got a "crash it"
1:58 Danny my man. Following the girl to ask What Year Are You
The Corsair was a perfectly sound car. None of the criticisms by Ralph Nader were true. He was an anti-American, fame seeking incompetent. The truly dangerous car is and was the VW Beetle. But if he wrote about its true dangers of rolling over then he would get no kudos from his commy supporters who only hate the USA.
The creapy dudes could be from counts customs 😂
Rick : you mind if we take it for a spin
Her : sure
Rick : you got the keys
Me : bruh she drove it in there lol
That's a general way of asking for the keys. What did you want him to say? 'Give me the keys!"?
For all of you "experts" who claim they were trying to rip the girl off, right now, July 6th of 2021, Country Classics in Illinois has a nice '64 Monza Spyder for $4950 and a '64 convertible for $10950. Both better cars because they had a little more power.
No way I would sell it. My father had one, he would tease the local kids telling them he dad 2 engines. Everyone knew that there is an engine in the front, they freaked out seeing an engine in the rear.
the correct way to call it is an Engine not a motor.
Internal combustion motor
This is the car in Nuketown 2025😳
Glad she didn't sell to those vultures. That year had super groovy lines. Hope she fixes the exhaust leak!
The car is over 60 years old and he's complaining about steering slop. How about just replacing the steering gear box to fix the slop
Rick: Ive got a buddy who knows everything there is to know about Chevy Corvairs. Let me give him a call and we can find out what it’s worth
*King Kai walks through the door*
They should have bought this one
Not at 10 grand...
1950s-1960s era you also had Ranault 4CV, Fiat 600, and BMW Isetta with rear engines.
Dig it. Number one tool you have to have to safely drive this auto mobile is a fire extinguisher.
Here's a fun game...take a shot everytime Rick says "car"
A friend of mine had one of these back in the day . She was driving down the road and the engine fell out on the road!
My mom had one as her 1st car as a teen in 1969.
Wow no expert was called in for this. Rick and Corey knows their stuff with these.
Corvairs are known to smell like fumes all the time in the cabin LOL!
Tucker 48 had the engine in the back I think, and a flat 6.
Actually the corvair wasn't that dangerous IF YOU did the proper maintenance and driving style.
Strange enough, the air pressure in the tires was very important.
You have to be careful as you drive it.
They were harsh on her
I think I saw this car in Back To The Future 1
I have a 1963 Corvair
I love vintage cars...
They made convertibles, too.
i have one was so fast for that time
Actually, Nader lied in front of Congress! He never told the truth about the Corvair such as the fact that the Fed highway agency found it just as safe as any other car on the road.
I don’t understand why some people take unique/rare items to a pawn shop and expect to get top dollars.
I think he needs to brush up on his car history. There were several rear engine cars in 1960. Fiat 500 BMW Iseta just to name a couple.
were those sold in the US in the 60s?
@@TomsLife9 They were, but you didn't see many of them.
Renault
Those are not competitors with the Corvair though they were significantly smaller city cars the main competitors were Porsche’s and vw Karmen ghias which were much larger
Its must be danny koker from counting cars following her to ask her about the car...i bet
It’s weird how old things...are dangerous, hard to maintain, and hard to get new parts for..cars, people, tv shows, politics, everything
Thieving clowns! $3,000?? I see later year rust buckets go for that. The early models WERE dangerous. I had a '60 and going around a curve on a wet road was enough to spin you around. I also had a '62 with an "instant" heater that ran off the gas tank. It is a shame that by the time they got the bugs out the Nader stigma was on them.
I can’t stand coreys attitude sometimes
$3K is more than a fair price.. But I wouldn't buy an early model anyway. Swing axles creep me out.
That car was not made to drive around two people that size.
Nice car and everyone is interested in buying it
If she’d repaired the exhaust and steering she might’ve gotten up to where her minimum price was
She’s kind of cute. Hopefully something works out for her.
