<VV> CORVAIR UNPOPULAR

[PatioMatt at aol.com]

Welcome to V V!!   You are a classic example of today's Car  buffs....and I 
think you hit the "nail on the head" [ are correct in your  assumption].
 
Corvair.ORG  is the web addy for CORSA [ Corvair Society of America  ]  We 
are Online and no need to call anyone!
 
1  There are  plenty of Corvair Parts in your Local Stores...  just not 
listed as such!  But we have a half dozen Big Vendors scattered  across the nation 
that offer the highest quality parts...not the cheap  stuff...
 
to get your car together.. Join CORSA....get the "beginners manual", find  
your local chapter....and you'll be on your way...Lots of Vair repair shops are  
listed as well!
 
2  Tell us where you are at!! We might be next door!
 
3  try to buy a 'Beater  - Driver" to play with while you are  working on 
your "good car" ...they are cheap!
 
This will allow you to get familiar.....see how things work....get the  
"feel" of the car's personality...
 
V8's?  go to  v8corvair.com      We do  it too!

I think  the a good reason that many people do not find the Corvair 
interesting is  really simple. I bought my first one when I was 18 (12 years ago). NO 
ONE  would help work on it and the fact that if I went to Auto Zone to buy 
parts  they were not there. At my current age group, if the car does not have the  
ability "go fast" and do it easily and cheaply no one wants the car. It's not 
 a muscle car and there for little interest in it.
The point  is, it is more difficult to work on if you are not familiar with 
it and why do  it when you drop a big V-8 into something else with out spending 
to much? I  just sold my '69 Chevy stepside that I had a lot less money in 
and went a lot  faster then this car will for the money spent, plus was much 
simpler to work  on (for me anyway). Right now my '66 corsa is in pieces all over 
my garage and  I honestly have no clue how to put it back together. Again, 
not many in my age  group want anything to do with it! So that's my opinion why 
the Corvair is  losing popularity.
BTW...anyone have the number for Corsa so I  could join? I read posts about 
it but how do I find the club you people are  talking about...is it the web 
site that shows the back end of a corvair on the  home page?
Thanks for everyones help. I will be needing it if  I am ever to get this car 
back together!!
