My Sister had a Corvair, same exact color as that one. In 1964 my Dad and I borrowed it to go fishing. Dad took a rough section a little fast and unfortunately smashed the transmission on a rock. Very sad day.
Great video! As usual. Very Cool old Car it's fairly straight still to I'm Surprised no one has taken it to Restore or for parts !....luv looking at those areas be safe out there. That has to be a stolen car. One of the coolest cars you've ever shown.
The question is, how did this car get there in the first place? Had it rolled down there from the highway, it surely would be far worse shape. But the car looks whole. It's as if it was placed there by a helicopter. It does indeed have a story to tell. Thanks for taking us along. Enjoyed it.
33°53'21"N 116°51'12"W Maybe you have a better map. On google I say 50% it is something. But it could be an occasional look alike structure. There could be more nearby but even more undefined.
great video to interesting to see how the car got down there looks to may of been dumped at some time from the road love that you named your sticks to have to do that use to have one called Trusty😃 i got a large stick to have to call it big bertha too if that is ok use to call my trike big Big Bertha to it is a really big help in getting me around to take care out there and keep looking to 🙂
@@reverserockettv007 yes love your videos to as i would love to do this to but being disabled would be unable to go in them type of places but i do explore were i car as i love being out side in nature to and finding things to 🙂😃
You should call Roby Layton Auto body in Utah tell him the location Matt's off road recovery may want the car for parts he can remove the car he may want the trunk chrome molding the dash board parts for his car's
Mite have a tip for you between Elsinore and canyon lake in the wash in the 1990 their was a small plane in the wash check it out see if it's still there go down R R canyon or mite be diamond Dr they both are the same Road
Close. The assembly plant code is a letter "O" for Oakland, CA, not 01 (zero-one). The production sequence is 117737, not 17737. The first one is part of the production sequence.
It was proven that first gen Corvairs were no more dangerous than any other car - with proper tire inflation and not driven to its limits.Without seeing the trim between the headlights or the VIN - it could be a '62,'63 or '64 - bodywise, those three years , with trim differences - were almost identical.
As someone else already noted, 1963 Corvair 900 with the VIN for the win: 3 for 1963 model year, 09 for Corvair 900, 27 for two door coupe, O for Oakland, CA assembly and the rest is the production sequence. The Oakland CA plant operated from about 1915 to 1963, and was replaced in the summer of 1963 with the opening of the Fremont, CA plant that year. The Fremont plant operated as a GM plant from 1963 to 1982 and then closed for about two years, reopening in 1984 as a joint venture with Toyota. That operated until 2010. Later on and continuing through the present day, Tesla assembles vehicles at this site. No tag, can't brag, but some can be figured out, no doubt: 63 for 1963 model year, 0927 for Corvair 900 (09) Club Coupe (27), O for Oakland, CA assembly, possible 905 for Laurel Green exterior paint, 720 or 751 for Aqua interior trim, unknown on the potential build month and week without the tag and any installed options. Ralph Nader is likely who your dad told you about the bad stories. GM followed Ralph Nader trying to kick up dirt on him, but was never able to as Mr. Nader lived a very simple life and always knew that people were on his tail. After some years, GM president James Roche had to admit (and apologize) that they tried to trip up Mr. Nader. In some ways, he was right, and some of the consumer laws we have on the books are a result of him. Yet, others saw him as an overzealous individual just looking to stop progress.
@@reverserockettv007 Either that or someone hid them there. Have you head of dead mans curve in la? supposed to be like 10+ cars down there and there is a trail to each one. i seen a yotube channel several years ago in la that towed cars from these canyons and he would mention about a car here and there. I remember one of the videos he pulled a Mclaren from the brush after a crash

Sorry to hear that! Interesting story for sure!!
LoL , same thing happened to my Dad and I. We took my wife's Super Beetle on a logging road in the Whitemountains in AZ @ tore a hole in the oil pan !

You should have a metal detector out there. Its hard telling what you might find.
Another fun video! 😉
That is not a trunk it's an engine compartment that is a rear engine car

I believe in the past the terrain was different and it either crashed out there or it was dumped?

Ya it’s a car! I filmed all of them in that area that I know of. It’s a really clear image if you use Apple Maps.

@@googleusergp Excellent information! I appreciate it!!
@@reverserockettv007 The other poster was close, but had the digits and codes a bit mixed up.
Nice work Bro! Music w/credits nice
Thanks!!
How many cars have you already found?
Close to 100? I lost count but I have about 60 photos I believe? Some locations have 10 plus cars in one spot and I lost all the photos….
I think it is a 1962 corvair
1963 model year, confirmed by the "3" as the first digit of the VIN.
Was that a life vest on the front seat? Whatever it was it had straps on the side. That car was pretty complete for being abandoned.
Yes it was! I believe it floated in there when the water was higher??

Buenas tardes ,Mario, un bonito e interesante video, el coche esta no muy mal, las vistas con el dron, guapisimas, gracias, un saludo, ❤👏👍👌💪🇪🇦
Gracias!!
I’ve always wondered if there were cars in that area. If you drive east on that Main Street there’s a big deep quarry like area.
