I currently am on my second Corvair (also had a '69 Monza coupe) and these cars can't be beat if you're looking for a reliable, economical classic car that handles like Corvette, gets gas mileage like a Falcon, looks like a miniature Impala, and rides and brakes better than a Chevelle. Working on the car is as easy as it get, and virtually every part is available from Corvair vendors. I'd recommend the Late models (1966-69) models for better safety features and the Corvette rear suspension. Also, the Late models are all hardtops or convertibles, no sedans were even available, and they have the Coke bottle profile the resembles a '67 Camaro. These cars are unique in that they have an air-cooled, rear-mounted aluminum-block "boxer" Six, with your choice of automatic or manual transmission, air conditioning, and other deluxe options that make it fun to drive. Take one of these on the highway and watch everyone turn and smile while you pass them!

Unique and a fun car to drive. Really ticks off muscle car owners when you dust them, fast off the line. Some times referred to as the "American Porsche". Gets good gas mileage for an old car. Owners need to be a fan of these cars because no one knows how to work on them anymore.

I bought my Corvair at a swap meet for the bargain basement price of $1,500.00. It did need some restoration but, after all, the car is 47 years old. This is my first restoration and working on this car is easy. The majority of the parts I needed to buy were inexpensive and I plan on receiving a nice return on my investment. The car handles great and after some basic motor work (carb cleaning, gasket and fluid changes, plugs and wires) this car runs like a champ and is quick. I have experienced no handling problems like some have spoken about and the ride is very comfortable. I would recommend this car to anyone looking for their first restoration project. Norm, Apparently you do not know that the Corvair motor can leak and when it does, that oil drips into your heater intake. The way the Corvair heating system works is the air is pulled past the exhaust manifolds which heat the air and when that hot intake has burning oil in it, the smoke goes to the cabin whan the heat is on. Also, as anyone knows, when oil gets to a certain temperature, it ignites. Some simple maintenance would have preventing your car going up in flames. Don't blame the car, blame the owner.
