I still watch the show, July 31, 2022. Thanks Tony and the rest of the cast for a great family oriented show. R.I.P Tony.

It is so obvious how nice and down to earth of a guy Tony was. Really wish I could of been friends with him. I saw another video of Tony walking from his garage ; he even walked the same that he did when he was 13. What a great cool guy. Bless you Tony, and all of the great memories you left everyone.

Tony Dow sure was a good fellow. I still watch Leave It To Beaver every morning here in Bartlett Tennessee...such a good show

I love Tony Dow aka wally. He was such an awesome actor & a big brother every child would live to have. Thank you for all the wonderful shows you & the beaver done along with ward & June. Such a wonderful family & wonderful actors & actresses on leave it to beaver. Still watch old re runs today. Thats a great looking car for that time of yesr.

RIP Tony....you will be missed....

Always like Tony Dow, wish we had seen more of him post Beaver.

Its something special to have a memory of when we were younger and life was fun & carefree Thats why iI still watch " beaver " reruns to this day. Good luck with the corvair, Tony

Gee Walley, it runs! Hope you had great joy with this car. I miss my MGA so much I still dream of it, 50 years later.

Tony, I hope you had many opportunities to enjoy tooling around town in your old Corvair with your wife before Heaven came calling. R.I.P. old friend.

Hopefully he got to use this machine a lot in his final yrs. RIP sir, you were a good influence on many young men.

I loved him as Wally Cleaver. He was truly a great actor. Thank you for Sharing this with us.

Wow!! What a guy for tracking you down to see if you wanted your original ride back! I can almost feel your joy over having it back. Best of regards to you!

That’s a great fun project. Thanks for the videos of Tony Dow. When I was a teenager in 1969, worked a couple years in a VW shop. We also worked on a few corvairs.

Fabulous .... glad to be able to view this ! I grew up on "Leave It To Beaver" ! I was 12 in 1962 ... so, I was the right age to truly become one with the show.

Hey Toni, I still watch your program Leave it to Beaver!👍😆😆

My childhood won't have been the same without Walley, Bev, Eddie, Ward and June.

Tony Dow love your car I always watched leave it to beaver for years you still great after many years wish it came back

Thanks for this video! Tony was as nice in person as He was playing a big brother to the world ! 👍👍🇨🇦

The show was just great. Happy to see this video. Thank you

I have very fond memories of my grandfather's corvair. It had this very friendly sounding hum when Papa would change gears.

Awesome! Cool Spyder and cool Corvan shop rig!

The lifters always rattle loudly after they sit for a while, will usually quiet down after 20 minutes. Put some 81 Dodge van 'Gas Magnum' or equivalent front shocks on the rear to improve ride and handling. Nice car Tony, glad you saved it!

Such a great story, AND getting a piece of your youth back.

Tony and Lauren are such a cute couple My father bought a Covair in '66 as a "go to work" car and let me use it for "dates", family errands etc. I was just 18 at the time. Suited me fine!

Tony Dow - still looking great after all these years! Oh yeah.. so is your car! LOL!!

You know you live in a huge city when there's a " mobile corvair service"

Cool car with history ! But it was sure clacking away wasn't it !

Im glad to see she has the old plates still !!

Funny mention on the fire extinguisher. My dads Corvair caught fire in the driveway when I was a kid. It was very exciting with the flames and fire trucks.

America Missing You Mr Tony Dow 👏🙌👍I mean All AMERICANS !! You were what I wanted as a brother no matter what .So talented and humble ! You are the " MAN "

When my son was in high school he bought a Corvair with one of the V8 modification kits in it. (I think these are nicknamed "water pumpers".) He described driving it as "Be afraid. Be very afraid."

We watch his show every week morning on METV. We are in late 70s and love it

Congrats Tony!

How exciting for you Tony!! Now you & your wife can enjoy a little fun from the past! Have fun you two!👏👏👏✌️♥️

Great video - this is one of the turbocharged Corvairs!

Way da go Wally.

Rest in Peace Tony 🙏🌹💜🙏 Awesome Footage

Well gee Wally, That's a pretty swell car you got. Can you give me and Whitey a ride to school ?

Only people missing are Lumpy and Eddie. This takes me back to the final season of 'Leave It To Beaver'.

Next - get it in the shop and paint it back to its original Midnight Blue paint. Then open another Bob's Big Boy, and you're in business.

Oh MAN! The guy in the white Tshirt reminds me a lot of WALLY CLEAVER!! 🙏

A little loud, but I suppose that's to be expected after six years of sitting. My mom had a '64 Monza convertible. She liked to do road rallies and I got to be her Navigator. Such good times. I'm currently working (slowly) on restoring a '65 Monza convertible. Can hardly wait to get it running and driveable.

What a thrill for Tony to get his boyhood Corvair running again.

R.I.P. Tony. I watch you every morning on MeTV !!! 2022 * you will not be forgotten !!

WoW Great to get your First / Favorite car back ! !

Tony Dow was a great 👍 guy ,he will truly be missed, loved the show as a kid had some great memories.

He was a very good man and I still enjoy watching his work.

I bet the mechanic had to pinch himself, thinking, Hey,I'm working on Wally Cleaver's car! Hope I don't have to use the fire extinguisher. I don't want to goof it up and feel like a little creep!😆

You know something Beav. (What's that Wally?) Your really goofy😂 Love those 2 as kids. That's a good sounding motor too

Gee Wally, if the show would have lasted another 5 years, you could be firing up a '68 Hemi Dodge Charger.

RIP Wally. We miss you.

Oh geeze! I had a corvair ,baby blue with white interior, convertible.. I loved that car!

I saw one of these Corvair Spyders at the drag strip in '65. It was out running GTO's!

Dave, you are the man!

Awesome! Love the show

I still watch the show. RIP to all the cast that have gone.🙏

Memories of this and Vw's on the road when I was a kid.I saw them everywhere, thing is this style didn't compete with other cars in the 1960's.But the 1st car a teen would buy was usually a turn on. So I wonder why he wanted this compared to other cars.

Living in the Northeast these cars were great driving in the snow because the engine was in the rear that provided great transaction.

I always thought Tony was Cool now I know He was Cool! R.I.P.WALLY

I'm 20 my parents age 63-64 use to watch the show as kids. And Everytime after college I come home and I flip the channel to antenna tv and I watch leave it to beaver. Early this year it use to come on around 11 am now it's on 1 pm...at least in florida, plantation. Not to also mention if I ever got a youtube reply from tony dow I'd be soo happy...even though he doesn't attract today's youth that much....to me he would cuz I still see him famous like people did over 50 years ago. Leave to beaver is an awesome show to watch when your eating captain crunch....or a peanut butter and jelly sandwitch. When you chew and watch the show at the same time...it relaxes you and makes you think. Me I try to figure out "ok what's going on in tony dows head as he's acting...or hugh beumont...whys he put his hands in his pocket as he talks....and why is this family soo innocent?!" lol Then afterwards I have supper...I wash it down with all in the family archie..."ay der edith!"

I think it's great to know that Tony is a car guy!

We miss ya Tony. Never miss you on "Leave it to Beaver," on ME-TV. 9 Sep 22. Semper Fi

I'm still sad about Mr. Dow's passing, but it's wonderful that he had shared some of his private moments like this with the world. Great video! The Corvair - one of the most innovative American cars on the market back then. I'd love to have one, but prices on nice restored examples have gone up. Hope this car has a good home now.

As soon as video started ,I noticed the now rare Corvair van. My aunt had a Corvair back in the day.

So happy for you, Tony. :).

Gotta love the fire extinguisher...Just in case. Just like Ward would teach him.

My mother brought a brand new 1962 red corviar. We were the envy of the block!

Nice car Toni!!

Hay, My gloves off to David the Corvar mechanic. It takes a mechanic that has Corvar blood in them to work on Corvars. I've been a mechanic for 40 years and I just don't have the touch. Note to those who are new to Corvars. I noticed that David's van is a Corvar too. Yes, Corvars came in many different kinds, vans trucks, 4 doors. You can see these on the net.

RIP Tony Dow.

RIP, Tony

That car was made for leaded gas put some lead additive to quiet the lifters.

Beautiful car. I'm glad to see that some moron did not put 30" GHETTO wheels on it.

I like the sound of the car.

Strange motor layout. We road one across Florida. I looked up to Wally, he was of good character and very cool.

I really like the camera pan to the 3 Amigos working around the cement mixer... just brought in from the local Home Depot parking lot...

Safe to say he's the only mobile Corvair business in America today.

Looking good

RIP Wally !

What a awesome car.

Gotta love the Corvair

Reminds me of George Costanza thinking he had Jon Voight's LeBaron.

I learned to drive stick shift on the floor in a new white '63 corvair....lots of cruising miles downtown Albuquerque from Lionel's to A&W drive in.

And just being tony dow! Imagine your first car and after seeing it after your youth blows you away. That be like me now driving a gold 95 saturn sl1 then God forbid if something happens to it I sell it then 2066 I get it back dows age....you gotta feel like your home. And it's gotta bring back memories!

GOOD JOB

My buddy's brother had two Corvairs and would drop us off at school. Both had next to no heat in cold days.

Tony was a year older than me. All through "Beaver" I only had eyes for "Wally". SO good looking. At one time, I had five Corvairs.

Tony ,, did you get lucky with Mary Ellen Rogers in that Corvair during season 62?

God Bless your soul Tony

Ralph Nader was perched in a tree across the street, watching vigilantly, ready to pounce.

What a pair,me and corvair

Leave it to beaver was a cool show to watch! Before Tony died she will be missed.

love it

What a pair me and my corvair- Corsa West

seem like the mechanic was more happier than Tony Dow was seem like they was both happy to see that old girl purr like a kitty

Nice to see Tony with the 'middle-aged spread' most of us get at his age. LOL!!!

so cool

Gee,Wally! It really runs!

He now has silver hair and beard, but the voice is instantly recognizable! Cool car! That 180 hp turbo flat 6 in that little car really could fly!( I had the 4-carb 140 hp, and got up to 135mph... or so the speedometer SAID it did.) Althugh the SU carb was a stinker in cold weather.

Very cool
