Junkyards don't always provide the best barn find episodes because the cars don't come with stories, but this junkyard is different. Tom stops by an old friend's place to see some vintage race cars and is surprised by something unusual and out of this world.

Dad had a Corvair panel van in the late 60's. He carried a pair of spare belts and hated the van because of that belt either jumping off or breaking. I would sit on his lap and shift for him, I can't remember if it was on the tree or floor, as I was only 6. Dad passed away this past February at age 95, and I'm still driving a manual.

In the class I was in, we were told we were the FIRST class of techs in the East Coast. I have a diploma from the class in November of 1972. We were taught by Gene Jenks of Mazda.

Thank-you for making these videos. There is such a lack of appreciation for old cars that need restoration. These videos just make me wish my grandpa's collection of cars was still there. I spent hours wondering around in his old cars. Stuff from the 40's - 70's, and a couple from the 80's. This would have been in the later 1990s. He had a 55 Cameo in the barn. The only one that got a roof over it. It was pretty much his baby. Old 66 Tempest Convertible that my mom drove when she was not much more than a teenager. I'd give just about anything to go walk through those rows of cars one more time.

Truly a piece of Americana, what stories those cars could tell. I love old junk yards, especially when they are someone’s personal junk collection. So many useful and beautiful cars that are just begging to be driven again. Those old Corvairs have such interesting design elements and body lines. Working on old cars is definitely something that connects one to the past, possibly connecting one to his/her ancestors. Just an incredible feeling driving an old car that one spent the time, energy, and resources to rejuvenate and make road worthy again - connects one to all previous owners, such rich history in automotive engineering.

Back in 1971 my friend's mom had a 1960 Corvair that he would borrow and we would go out cruising in. Of course we would always try to push it with that two speed Powerglide so at least once a night we were out there rolling the fan belt back on. You could always tell when it hopped off first by the lack of the noise of the cooling fan and also the generator light would come on.

When I was growing up, my parents had a mint condition Ultravan for maybe 20 years. It was a 1971 - I believe - one of the last years - if not the last year. It didn't have a Corvair engine in it anymore. They switched to a V-8 with a drivetrain out of the Corvette. When my father sold it in his eighties, it was bought and shipped to France. The Corvair equipped models were the ones the collector's sought out the most. I always remember in the movie "My Girl," Jamie Lee Curtis lived in one outside the Funeral Home.

With all due respect, Ralph Nader did not "put an end" to the Corvair. He maligned the reputation of the car, but by no means ended its run. Keep in mind that his book, "Unsafe at Any Speed" came out in 1965, but Chevrolet continued to build Corvairs until 1969. Mustangs and pony cars, along with the desire for muscle, was the reason that the Corvair faded off into obscurity.

I'll offer one more reason that has nothing to do with muscle, manufacturing cost. The Corvair was completely different from anything else GM was doing, the opposite of a shared platform. It was an expensive experiment for them. Also have to stick up for the early gens. By 1964 the swing axle handled great, the turbo motor was available, and the hottest cammed N/A motor they released was available. There would be no reason to target the facelifted cars for performance unless you're after a Stinger. Plus the earlys have the original, influential belt-line design that BMW and NSU, etc subsequently copied.

@@borntodieworldisafuck In 1953 a GM rep was shown a 4 door VW (Carmen Ghia) made by Pagani in Italy. That GM rep from Opal, saw a huge hole in GM's marketing. The Secretary's car. An almost 0 maintenance car. Since VW had went with Ghia, GM was free to buy the Pagani test model. Americanized the engine. Bigger, Louder, More Power! Remember they had all of Porsche's prewar patents. And set about making every variant they could, for under $2K. I think GM missed on one thing, The Turbo. They had a Super Charger manufacturing company, that could have run a easy belt drive off the crank. Swing, and a miss! lol!

Tom, the next time you get around the middle of the country you need to stop by Hastings Nebraska. There’s a place there that is not a junkyard, but it’s a resto lot and storage area for Corvair‘s of all types. My father-in-law has told me about it a couple of times when we’ve been up there visiting. I’ve never made the time to stop and get their stories, but based on what he said, they have plenty of stories, and plenty of Corvair’s. It’s interesting too, because I feel like every small farm town in the Midwest has barn finds.

Why do Corvairs look like NSUs in larger size? That's literally the first thing I thought of when I saw one. It's very weird seeing them!

I'd love to have any of the old Corvairs. I've always wanted one. The wagon would be nice. The one with the 4 barrel carburetor would be just as good

This was a cool one with interesting stories. So many interesting cars rotting in a field. When I saw a 6 cylinder OHC Pontiac Lemans in the early 70s, I didn't realize I was looking at a rare one. Or is that only the high performance model? I recognized the Ultra Van immediately, my father test drove one when he was looking for a Motorhome in the late 60s. I remember him saying the were underpowered, gutless. Later models got a 327 as I recall.

The 65' and 66' Corvair Corsa came in two different engine configurations. 140hp carb version and the 180hp Turbo version.

interesting how much that Corvair wagon looks like a VW Squareback. None the less - a cool restoration project in the waiting. Put a subaru motor in that thing and leave that patina.

I love Corvairs!!! Corsa versions were only made in '65 and '66. The Carter carb is not the best choice and a center mount is hard to get running correctly. Ultravans were made in Kansas.
