Re: [Chevelle-List] Corvair ???

[Dwight Fulton]

When I was 16 my first car was a 65 Corvair Corsa & it had 4 carbs and a 4speed and could really give 283's all they could handle. The speedo went to 140 & I had mine up to 125 & got scared that the ft end was going to lift off. Don't know if it would do 140 but, it was a blast to drive and back in 67-68 it out cornered almost everything on the road. Wish I still had it today.   Dwight ----- Original Message ----- From: Don To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 22, 2003 9:45 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] Corvair ??? The Monza was considered the "performance" version. Although it really wasn't anywhere close to being quick or fast.

The Monza and the Corsa. One was considered to be more "deluxe" than the other, but right now I'm not sure which one it was.   John Nasta       -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Don Sent: Wednesday, January 22, 2003 9:22 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] Corvair ???   I owned a 65 Corvair Monza convertible a lot of years ago. It had 4 one barrel carbs & a 4 speed. I wish I still had it! It was a pretty good car. The early ones had a lot of problems but by 65/66 they had worked a lot of the bugs out of them. I bought mine used (but in excellent condition) for $800. It would be worth about $10,000 today. Don
