OFFICIAL PAGE 2023 was our 50th year! Over 15,000 parts available at our website- corvair.com A 1960! Our friends had it – I hated it – but the next thing I knew Dad was getting a new 1961, 700 4-Door, 80 HP, 3 speed! By 1963, I had my license and started to change the oil and keep it clean. My friends drove 1957 Chevy's, new Impalas, 1950 Fords, etc. Read more You better believe that 80 HP worked! 60 mph out of 2nd was common. As long as I could get in front of the others before the corners, I could lose them. My ﬁrst experience with mechanical work was after it came back from the Chevy dealer "tuned-up". I took it out Friday night and could hardly get 45 mph out of 2nd! Next day, I spent $3.29 for a timing light. My "repair career'' was started. Joan (my girlfriend at that time), myself and my parents went 12,000 miles during 6 weeks of the summer of 1965 in that car. We had it so loaded, it had less than 3" ground clearance. At a Texas road construction zone, they had a scraper lead us for 5 miles. It ﬁnally went 108,000 miles. My father got a 1964 Monza 4 speed. I went to college and Joan got a 1963 VW convertible. We got married in 1968 and drove mostly VW's and a Porsche 911-E until August 1972 when we ﬁnished a full restoration on a 1964 Spyder Coupe that we purchased for $50. We were hooked! We became known as having Corvairs and people wanted to buy our personal parts. At that time, I thought there might be a demand. (We hadn't heard about the what? Corvair Society of America?) December 1972 vacation (I taught school), I made up a list of 150 parts and we placed an ad in several old car papers. We ﬁnished the full restoration of our 1966 Corsa Convertible in August 1974 at 2:00 a.m. and left for the National Corvair Convention that was held in Chicago that year. The Corsa ran perfectly and we had a great time. By September 1975, Joan had to quit her full-time job so we could get some "free-time"! We just got busier! June 1976, I gave up 7 years of teaching high school. The 110 hours per week was just too much! In June 1977, Cathy (who had worked part-time for us) became our ﬁrst full-time employee, and was quickly followed by 3 more. In 1978, we were still working out of our 1 story ranch style house and had 12 people working full-time. It was impossible to move in o Update description
