Thank You.

Yes, both early and late model corvairs, starting in '61 had an A/C option, however, 67 was the last year for A/C in a Vair. Here are some Stats:

Air Conditioning was only optioned on Cars, Not on Greenbrier vans, Rampsides, Loadsides, wagons or turbocharged cars.

# of Corvairs optioned w/ Air
Early Models
1960- not optioned
1961- 3000
1962- 7650
1963- 6641
1964- 6401
Late models, with vents incorporated into the dash, and the condenser moved off of the top of the engine.
1965- 9483, largest production of A/C Vairs
1966- 4780
1967- 1396, the last production year with A/C, and the fewest produced.
1968 & 1969- Not optioned

Needless to say, it is rare to see Air in a Corvair.
