To those who have expressed interest in my used t-stats, I am asking $80 per pair, delivered to the Wisconsin Dells convention. Several pairs available.
Forum: Corvair Center Forum

Now that John has sold his thermostats, I can hijack his thread to post mine. But mine are not new and not repros, they're good used original thermostats. I have several pairs. Despite their being relatively small items, I have no suitable packaging for shipment. But I'll have them at the convention next month.

I am totally with American Mel on this. The magnesium fans -- ANY of the fans, in fact, were never painted at the factory.

These are original GM new-old-stock parts, p/n 3813643. Thanks to having been stored all these years in the proverbial “cool dark place” they are still soft and pliable. These are not reproductions. It’s somewhat difficult to photograph black rubber parts when your photo equipment consists of a cell phone, but these are Genuine GM. They fit and are correct for all 1961-64 Corvair cars and

Not mine, so don't reply to me. The link to the seller is found on the page with the listing: The seller is a longtime Corvair guy -- I first met him at a Corvair club event 49 year ago!

SOLD, within minutes, thank you.

SOLD,Used, removed from a rusty Greenbrier years ago, ready to be installed in your FC. Photos below. The bag is watertight and pliable but, like most of us, it’s not as flexible as it was 50 years ago. The stock mounting brackets are included as is the nozzle that mounts to the front of the vehicle. The nozzle has surface corrosion but is perfectly functional. I’d recommend replacing the

At this past Saturday's Lehigh Valley Corvair Club swap meet, the vendor next to me was offering an as-removed 1964 FC "WB" engine, complete from air cleaners to exhaust pipe. I do not believe that it sold that day, and I do not recall the price, but at the time the price struck me as reasonable. If anyone is interested I can put you in touch with the seller. He's in Bergen

A gratifyingly successful event. In the face of a poor weather forecast a solid number of Corvair folk, from five states, turned out. Some light sprinkles during the day but the real rain held off until the afternoon. My guess? we'll do it again next year! Thanks to John and Barbara Egerton for being our hosts, and to all who made the trip!

If it came out of the barn today, does that make it a Barn Find? This Corvair Avenger GT will be one of the larger items available at the LVCC Swap Meet.
Forum: Corvair Center Forum

What about the weather? It has been a simply bee-yoo-ti-ful week here in the Lehigh Valley, so of course the forecast says "chance of showers" for Saturday. But this is a rain or shine event, so don't stay home in the face of some clouds or sprinkles. The swap meet is on!

While I understand the philosophy of "it's your car," I am very much in favor of sticking to the original paint color. In this instance, I happen to think the Glacier Gray exterior / Slate interior combination is both uncommon and very attractive, and I think also that going with the original color will, long-term, benefit the car's value. As for "liking" the col

A friend with an unmolested '61 Rampside kindly has held his cell phone under the dash and provided these photos, which confirm what others have said here.
Forum: Corvair Center Forum

Yes, the '61 wiper motor may indeed be different from the one I posted. My uncertainty comes from (1) not remembering from which vehicle mine was removed, and (2) the GM parts book not being clear on the matter. But, all I really cared about was if the OP recognized mine as being right for his truck, I wanted to make it available to him.
Forum: Corvair Center Forum

I have one. Or, more correctly, I have one that came out of a Corvair years ago, I no longer remember whether it was a car or a van, but I don't think that they're different. Five bucks plus shipping from Penna.

I have one and I will be at Bath. NOS! Complete with the mounting bracket. Clark's price for NOS is $320, but they no longer have any. I'll match that price.

The annual Parts Auction drew close to 60 attendees, with 44 registered bidders, 12 sellers, and the usual 200+ lots. Of those lots, 151 were sold for a total $3,425.00, an average price of $22.68 per item.

We have learned that among the items to be offered at the auction is an original Kent-Moore J-7894 engine cradle, the one the dealers used back when the Corvair was new. Also, there will be a full set of factory tinted glass for 60-64 two-doors. This does not include the windshield but includes all the rest, including the backlight. But smaller items tend to predominate (although one years

A fellow member of my local club is seeking an engine, 164-cid, in useable or close-to-useable condition. By close-to-useable I mean that it may need resealing or may be missing carbs or similar, but does not require a rebuild. Close or reasonably close to New Jersey. Will consider an entire rusty car with a useable engine, also. If you have such an engine or know of the availability of

There is a new rule in place for the annual NJACE Corvair Parts Auction this year, but don’t worry, it’s really a small change. Our Parts Auction dates back to 1982, and stands as one of our club’s longest-running events and without question our club’s most popular event. But if there is a problem, it is this: Too much stuff!

It's a '55 Plymouth. How do I know this? Because the artist, Russell Myers, had a 1955 Plymouth as his first car, and he has used the Plymouth in the Broom-Hilda comic strip many times. I doubt that this information would be of any use to, say, someone on Jeopardy, but there it is.

I am looking for ONE 1961-63 FC deluxe hubcap like the one pictured. “Driver quality” only, I do not need a show-quality hubcap.
