Introducing myself. I recently acquired a 1965 Corsa Coupe. Although It is the most recent Corvair for me, I’ve owned many in the past.
I spent many years as Doug Hargrove’s crew chief racing SCCA on the west coast.
I picked up this Corsa, a deal I couldn’t turn down.It’s a little rough, has some rust issues, but mostly there and fairly straight. As an original Corsa Turbo, so it’s definitely worth saving!

Welcome. Seems we have both decided to save the same car. I just got mine and it is a 65 Corsa Turbo as well.
Good Luck and Welcome to the group.

1965 Corsa 2 dr Coupe Turbo 4sp because I love the looks
18ft Chaparral 180 Sport because I live on a lake, seemed like the thing to do
Chevy Pickup to tow boat and tote things
Chevy Cavalier because they drive like a go-cart

The first disc brakes I put on my SCCA EP Corvair were said to be from Doug Hargrove's Corvair. Big GM cast iron calipers with the rear caliper brackets welded on top of the trailing arms. Front Chevelle rotors with integral hubs that increase front track by 1".
I got the assemblies from Jeff Moore in Missouri. He recently acquired a '60 4-door that was raced in SCCA early on.
There's a fellow on here whose wife raced a Corvair in SCCA, I'm thinking Rocky Mountain rather than West Coast but maybe there was some crossover.
Are you still on the west coast? Still active with SCCA at all? Still have some Corvair special little tools in the drawer?

Still on the west coast. Doug and I stay in touch, occasionally Autocross together. He has an Fmod car.
The brakes sound appropriate to Doug’s old car.
I haven’t had a Corvair of my own for a long, long time. The one I picked up happened to be an old friend from school, long time Corvair enthusiast.
This car was originally a turbo, but had a 110 in it.

I do most of this from my iPhone.

No, I’m in Tracy, Ca, the car was in Modesto, Ca.

Mine is pretty straight, but has some rust issues I’ll have to take care of.

Hey there from Porterville California!

There is a San Joaquin Valley Corvair club, most of the members are out of Fresno. Mike S.(viewmaster on this forum) is a member.

1966 Corsa 180 Turbo myself. Though all indications are that it started as a Corsa 140. I don't have plans to change it back!

As far as pictures go find a hosting service you like, I used to use Photobucket until they wanted money, now I use Imgur but there is also Postimage. With those they supply you with the correct code to post directly here without any resizing. Then you can also put that right in the text.

Here is the code from Imgur with one digit removed img imghttps://i.imgur.com/MO9KVbrh.jpgimg

Thanks!

Eric,
There’s a group in the Modesto area as well. Back in the 70s and 80s I belonged to CORSA and did a lot of autocrossing and crew work for Doug Hargrove. Although I’ve stayed in touch with my Corvair buddies, I hadn’t owned one in a long, long time. I’m looking forward to playing with one again!

Maybe someday we will play in the same sandbox.

Eric
