Forum: Corvair Center Forum 6 months ago Mjposner Car was sold Tuesday, value was more than satisfactory....move still on, once I get settled into new location, I may return....Thanks for 10+ years of help! Forum: Corvair Center Forum 6 months ago Mjposner Car was sold Tuesday, value was more than satisfactory....move still on, once I get settled into new location, I may return....Thanks for 10+ years of help! Forum: Corvair Center Forum 6 months ago Mjposner I got an agreeable offer at the 7th Annual Aircooled for Charity Car show. Buyer is supposed to pick up tomorrow....
A 61 Monza Coupe with less than 30k miles was also sold at the show, for less than 8k Forum: Corvair Center Forum 6 months ago Mjposner I have both steering wheels.
Those are old rust repairs prior to 2013. Frame was solid when I installed new window glass.
Yes could use new paint and cleaner repair around window, if I keep I would do that.
Still think its a mid teens car imho. Won't sell for 10k Forum: Corvair Center Forum 6 months ago Mjposner Thanks. Tried BAT a few years ago and car did not make reserve so no sale.
I heard a rumor that BAT was months backed up getting cars listed... Forum: Corvair Center Forum 6 months ago Mjposner I may be moving by end of year and will not be bringing my Corvair. So looking to get an idea on value of my 65 Corsa:

15&qu Forum: Corvair Center Forum 7 months ago Mjposner These are the perfect 15" tires for the Corvair. They clear everything, are tall enough and wide enough, and reasonably inexpensive. From America's tire:
KUMHO
ECSTA 4X II
205 /55 R15 88V SL BSW
40,000 mile warranty
Just what I need, "Superb handling on cold, wet pavement results from a tread design that expels snow and water quickly."
These are all season...any su Forum: Corvair Center Forum 7 months ago Mjposner Lane66m I did check bulb, pulled right non-working light bulb and it worked fine in left, pulled working left bulb and installed in right, nothing.
So I guess its the switch Forum: Corvair Center Forum 7 months ago Mjposner Robert C don't you worry about ethanol in the premium gas? Forum: Corvair Center Forum 7 months ago Mjposner To be clear left signal works fine, right signal only works in the rear, front and indicator both out. Moving right front bulb to left confirmed that bulb is good. So its either a bad indicator bulb or the switch Forum: Corvair Center Forum 7 months ago Mjposner I have a new fuel tank installed 2013, and I have an inline filter which I just changed so I will leave alone. Forum: Corvair Center Forum 7 months ago Mjposner I asked about this in another thread, but everyone who helped assumed I meant the rear or front signals when I meant the dash indicator signal (my bad).
I can barely reach the bulb with one hand, how do I get bulb out.
When signal is used, rear light works, dash and front do not.
Stopped working after the stalk became loose and I pulled wheel to tighten stalk nut.
I checked front Forum: Corvair Center Forum 7 months ago Mjposner My carbs were rebuilt by prior owner right before I purchased in 2013. Car has about 3k miles since. Assuming filters were replaced and car drives fine, worth changing?
Also, 4 carb set up uses same filter? Forum: Corvair Center Forum 7 months ago Mjposner I think I wasn't clear. I am talking about the turn signal bulb in the dash itself. I guess I should have called it the indicator bulb. I can reach it from behind with one hand but can't remove bulb easily and I do not want to force. Forum: Corvair Center Forum 7 months ago Mjposner 20. Turn signal Bulb Does the bulb just pull out or is it a twist and pull. I can barely get at it so if I have to twist and pull I need a smaller person! Forum: Corvair Center Forum 7 months ago Mjposner My take on this is that 15s will be available, but not in all styles. I prefer summer sport tires as I live in S. Florida and never drive in the rain. These are hard to find. Forum: Corvair Center Forum 7 months ago Mjposner Well 785 interior trim means that I originally had a red seat interior. Red interior with red exterior is too much red imho. My current interior is black seats (procar fronts) and black carpet. Forum: Corvair Center Forum 7 months ago Mjposner Installed new new fuel filter, does not leak so far and held idle and drove fine so I hope problem solved. Forum: Corvair Center Forum 7 months ago Mjposner H ow can I find out if interior was originally white, build sheet does not mention seat color. Forum: Corvair Center Forum 7 months ago Mjposner Its in the engine compartment:
Stalled in line at McDonalds, had to goose to keep from stalling
No bubbles...fuel is flowing.
Ordered a new one with all metal ends and new clamps to start. Forum: Corvair Center Forum 7 months ago Mjposner I checked, it is installed correctly, but IO felt gas residue when touching it.
I am going to get a new one and new clamps as well.
Its this: Forum: Corvair Center Forum 7 months ago Mjposner Wife says go with white so that tips it.
What brand top do people recommend? Forum: Corvair Center Forum 7 months ago Mjposner "When in doubt go back to original...it will look great."
That's what I am thinking. However, I will have to see what the wife says. A few months ago I painted the rear hood with black plastidip for sh**s and giggles. She came into the garage, looked at it and said no (and she never ever said anything about by Vair before). Forum: Corvair Center Forum 8 months ago Mjposner Here is my build sheet:

11 Abbrevi Forum: Corvair Center Forum 8 months ago Mjposner My 65 Corsa is Regal Red and needs a new top. Current top is black, but original top was white. What is the consensus, go back to white or stay with a new black top Forum: Corvair Center Forum |
