Corvair
You boys know of any bone yards where a 65 to 69 corvair sits? looking for a hood. Will pay to have it shipped. Tried Craigs List but no luck.

There are a couple of places online where you can place a request for a part to a network of junkyards across the country. I've never used it for my Pacer (ebay has had all the parts I've ever needed for junkyard pulls), but the PO of my car did use Parts Hotline to get a Pacer gas tank. I think it was $50, less shipping.
http://baltimore.craigslist.org/pts/4388713026.html This guy had corvair parts- including a 67 for parts. Good luck. Last edited by leadlike; 04-21-2014 at 09:39 PM. |

Lord-A-Mercy, I can't even REMEMBER the last time I even SAW a Corvair in a junkyard-Or on the Street, either, for THAT matter...

Which is probably a good suggestion for finding a hood...check with some Corvair clubs. |

I saw that one in Balt. I didn't think he would sell a hood, while he has the
entire car pretty much all together...... I don't think I would part it out looking as complete as that car is...... My dad had a Monza, 4 single barrel carbs, 3 speed, it needed constant care, not the commuter car he wanted, I don't think he kept it more than a year... .

There was a green "2nd Series" 4 door sedan operated for years & years by an old guy & his wife who were in our church... Pretty plain car, I THINK it had an automatic, maybe a radio, & that was the only options on it.. Pretty sure they were both dead & gone by the time I came home after college in '79.. Our family doctor had a 2nd series convertible-We all went over to our mountain cabin in N. Carolina in winter 1968-69, it snowed, but the Corvair went EVERYWHERE like a trouper..

Yeah, they weren't all that popular here when they were new... You'd see SEVERAL Mustangs or Camaros for every Corvair... Same way for the earlier ones-LOTS of Falcons & Vomits, Econolines... Not many Corvans..

I can see Corvairs not being popular in the mountains. In the flat Midwest they probably sold much better. Had a high school teacher in the 80s that had a '63 Monza convertible. He brought it to school once a year and showed his classes. He used to try to tell everyone it ran on rubber bands.
I don't think Corvans were common anywhere. I saw lot of Econolines and A100's well into the 80's though. My aunt and uncle had a A100 they nicknamed the "Hippy Bus." |
