Welcome to the Club:

Though I'm a Late Model owner and fan I have always loved the earlies--they 
started it all.  The '64 is certainly a most collectible model in its own 
right.  I learned to drive in a '61 700 4dr and my mother had a '62 and '63 Monza 
that I drove when home on leave from the Army.  I have always felt all Corvairs 
were safer than other cars of their time--and some insuranced statistics from 
the '60's confirmed it though lower insurance rates.  The trunk is one big 
crumple zone and the almost dive free braking was better than anything at the 
time and (when well maintained) will stop with the best of today's cars.

Stay on top of the routine maintenance of front and rear wheel bearings--the 
fronts require regular maintenance as did all cars of the period--and the 
brakes and you will be spoiled so that the modern FWD cars feel like nose heavy 
ploughing barges compared to your well maintained '64.

All the best:
