Just bought this 61 Corvair Monza for $3200 and a van load of spare parts, how'd I do?
good
get a compensator if it doesnt have one already

Most likely one in the humungous pile of parts that I have yet to pick up.

UNSAFE AT ANY

I like it to be honest. Fuck Ralph Nader. Actual cancer on the automotive industry.
Didn't Chevy fix the suspension anyway?
>>14755307
Nader was wrong anyway. NHTSA and Texas A&M both did studies and found the early Corvair was "at least as good" handling wise
>>14755321
Of course that asshole was wrong. Should have known. Guess there always will be someone who doesn't understand something I freaks out. Like those vaccinefags and autism.
Which btw, the guy that made that claim later confessed to making it up for what I think was money/funding
>>14755420
I didn't namefag...oh it's April fools day.
Thank you gookmoot.
>>14755307
dunno about nader m8 but this thing is easier to steer than my toyobaru
Anyone know the most active Corvair forum btw?
>>14755654
The thing was people weren't used to the handling cuz muh polar movement (engine in ass like 911)
I think this was part of the reason.

When i went to go pick it up my gramps was like
>engine in the trunk?
Then gave this look like what old people do when kids skate on the sidewalk except this isn't a "you damn kids" thing.
Pretty sure he thought it was heresy but he's owned all the nice muscle cars of the day and worked for Damnliar Chrysler.

But it's an air cooled flat six hhnngg
Get a nice exhaust for it.not too loud not too quiet. I've always wanted one. Why can't I be Jay Leno god damn it.
>>14754183
Breddy cool

PO was doing some restoration and put in some dual headers many, it idles low like a diesel but god damn them gear ratios give it a workout.
>>14756257
>many
Mang you fucking autocorrect.
>>14754183
Not bad op, im jealous. Im pretty sure the 61s had that oil heater, so watch out for that.
>>14756292
Well I mean I'm not going to fuck with that, I turned on the fan and some cute smoke started blowing under the dash. Someone niggered some wires or something. Engine leaked massive heat into the interior anyway.
>>14756257
Vid?
And do you mean tall ratios?
>>14756925
I can make a video after work, I'm not sure what the term would be let me put it like this, you become very aware of the lack of overdrive
>>14754183
Good, Now V8 swap it.
>>14759552
Good god, how will I steer it
