      Those cars are in such bad shape, it would cost a fortune to restore one. I feel bad for the ones who will have to clean up this junk yard at some point when the state makes them due to environmental reasons.

    I’m glad the Corvair Ranch exists. I have a very nice 1967 base 500 model coupe. A few years back, my door window mechanism went bad, and I couldn’t roll the driver’s window up & down. Bummer! Naturally, I called Clark’s Corvair Parts, and surprisingly, they didn’t have it. I thought they had everything, but In fact, it just didn’t exist! However, the Corvair Ranch came through for me and shipped me a good used mechanism, and it’s working perfectly years later. 😃

    One of my 1st love's, 1st cars was a Covair. Everytime, I hear the word or see one (which is almost never) I think back to how beautiful that little car was, and how he, and his dad, Art, who worked on them, loved it. If I had the money, I would buy a couple of restored ones, save some unrestored ones, and give them as gifts to myself, him, my daughters and my great niecea and nephews.
    I LOVE that you took the time to document, and peer into so many of the vehicles. Thanks for taking the time, and for all the information! This was a great video, and I am definitely subscribing, even though I am 3 yrs late to this party 😃
    I hope you, and those you love, are doing well. I live in Maryland, so we may even be neighbors!

      Tall, when I was growing up, my uncle had a small one. My dad would visit him if he needed a part for his car, so my brother and me would go out back and play in them. Play cops and robbers through all of the cars. Never even worried about snakes or rats. To this day, when a part is needed, the first place I think of is a "Parts rescue center" or as you said a "Junk yard".

    Thank you for a great trip down memory lane. The first new car I ever purchased was a 1963 Corvair Monza Spyder, 4 speed, 150HP and what a great little car. . With a few modifications it was quite quick. As long as you kept the tire pressures at the correct settings the car was quite safe and GM never wanted to take on Ralph Nader and his ridiculous claims of "unsafe at any speed".

  • @TairnKA

    Normally, watching auto graveyard tours, if I don't see a Corvair, it's not a legit auto graveyard, but this makes up for those that don't have a Corvair in their collection. ;-)
    It would be kewl to make complete (best, running and moving) vehicles as possible out of these.

    If these cars could talk, the stories there would be of their owners, and their families having fun, traveling or going through sad times, that would have been experienced inside these vehicles some time ago. They now sit here, long forgotten by their owners, slowly fading away in time. If only they could talk.

    Drove up there last year. Got a rear passenger quarter for my ‘61. Jeff’s a great guy and there are always 3 ‘Vairs in the garage and a number of them out front. I wandered through the yard for a while taking photos. Too bad you didn’t get a shot of Jeff’s Ultra Van. Someday I’ll go back and grab a Lakewood and do an LS or EV conversion. You can have just one Corvair.

    In the early 1960s I knew several people who owned Corvairs but by the late 60s Corvairs were already becoming a rare sight on the roads of Los Angeles. It's too bad this Corvair graveyard isn't located in a more arid state like Arizona or Nevada where metal rusts more slowly. The comparison to the Tesla seems appropriate, I'll bet the Corvair body would make an excellent electric car conversion.

  • @michaelblankenship548

    There used to be guy just across the river from Atchison, Kansas that had a bunch of Corvairs out front. The story I was told was that he didn’t collect them because he liked them. He collected them to keep them from ever being driven again. He hated them. He wouldn’t sell any. He just wanted to watch them rust.

    Growing up, our family had a 64 Monza convertible (110), later on I had a 66 Corsa convertible (140).
    My Mom worked at a tire store and was given a free set of Michelin radials, it was funny seeing mechanics shake their heads when my five foot and a bit mom tried to tell them the tires weren't flat. ;-D
    I read about successfully mounting a Tornado drive train "behind" the rear seat (notch for a pulley) of a second generation Corvair.
    Seeing that I thought about a transverse front wheel drive V6 (3.8L), then saw a video of someone using a Fiero drivetrain. ;-)

    It's sad seeing all these Corvairs rotting away, but at least their parts can go to save other Corvairs. I wonder how many are left on the road today. I myself have a '60 700 sedan that's been a major learning experience, as it's also my first car. Parts for '60s are hard to find because many things were unique to that year.

    I have a 64 panel van that I revived a few years ago. Mine was never driven in the snow / salt, but like most every truck out there the front floor rusted out due to water staying under the rubber mat, and of course that carried out to the rockers. There is NOBODY making any rust repair panels for the truck version. I had to fab everything from scratch.

    Goa used 1960 2 door corvair in 1963. just to the left of the license plate, in chrome letters it read "GOOD" Had all kinds of problems. In real cold weather the front windshield would not defrost on it's own. Used an electric heater that plugged into the cigarette lighter. Motor wiring problems. Every 6 months are so I had to readjust the carburetors. Also the engine would stop running while driving and I would have to get out, raise the hood, and shake a big junction of wires on top of the motor and it was good for about another 5 months till it happened again. Sold it in 1965 when I went into the Army

    My first real car was a 1962 Corvair, it was not the hard top it had the door posts, it was brown with brown interior, smaller engine and three speed standard shift, (pretty basic car) . I got the car by working for my older brother, he didn't pay me but said he would buy me a car, (great deal for a young boy) so he found this Corvair for 25 dollars, the car needed a battery and it had a flat, but it started up and ran. My brother did body work so he painted it (bright Red for me with a sprayed on black vinyl roof ) I still have a picture of me with the car when I was 16 years old. This was in 1969, the car was only seven years old at the time. My first girlfriend (Connie/ no kiss sex or anything like that ) and I would sit in that car and smoke cigs and eat ice cream, it was a different World back then.

    8:37 You can see how --- just as Ralph Nader claimed --- the Corvair's rear wheels did indeed "tuck under" easily, as they are positioned here.

      No worse than a VW Beetle, early Transporter, or a 356 Porsche. Not as bad as an M151 MUTT. The real killer was the one piece steering shaft which wasn't fixed until the last years.

      If the tires were kept at the proper inflation they wouldn't tuck under while driving, as Nader claimed.

      @@HarrisonJBounel Who knows? The point is, a vehicle is not supposed to be that "touchy" as far as safety is concerned... if a tire goes flat due to a puncture, or gets too hard due to high temperatures, the vehicle is not suppose to kill you for that. Ralph Nader was absolutely right.
