Hey Tim. The guy with that bike looks like Norm Grabowski. Is that him?

**davischevy** · 03-05-2018, 02:06 PM

Did you know Norm Grabowski lived here since about 73?

**GOPAPA** · 03-05-2018, 02:35 PM

I have told this before ,,but a friend of mine had one of the first Corvairs and he took some 1960 Chevy tail lights and drill holes added and replaced the ones the car came with ,,not sure any more how many he added .

Yes. I think he called Lead Hill home. He had a sister near by too. Maybe just over the Mo line. He was a real funny guy.

Ed Kelly is a member here and in our local truck club. He is a member of the National Corvair club and does a lot of work on them. He is very active in this area. He has had several and his son is also into them.
I asked him on F/B to chime in.

Here's a very cute camper

yuccales · 03-08-2018, 08:30 AM

Awesome Corvair camper!

CG · 03-08-2018, 08:36 PM

Got a surprise in the mail yesterday from Ironhorse .... Thanks!!

**Boog** · 03-08-2018, 10:29 PM

"with the new international look". Oh yeah.
I have to say I like it better than the first ones.

**3757chevy** · 12-12-2018, 02:17 AM

I saw this at a show last summer.

**Boog** · 12-12-2018, 05:53 AM

Uh oh. Ralph Nader got hold of that one. But this guy will fix it with his bucket of Napa parts.

**3757chevy** · 12-12-2018, 12:44 PM

I don't even think "Napa Know How" will fix that one.

**special-K** · 12-13-2018, 12:38 AM

I bet that's the lowest mile Corvair out there.

I always wanted to do a V8 mid-engine conversion. Talk about a sleeper. Surprise them at the light... yeah. But let them follow you into the curves and some of the sportiest cars out there will be struggling to keep up

Here are some fine Corvairs w/information, though somewhat annoying

It's Corvair night at the movies. Those cars were cool in those videos, real good looking cars. That mid-engine V8 thing makes them quite a car. I just watched this and had to share. If there is any doubt left whether a mid-engine Corvair one badass s.o.b. in anyone's mind, just watch this when you get 17 minutes free

That guy in the blue Corvette should have got out of the way instead of just blocking. Douche ... The blue Cheetah he passed, drooool, I love those cars!

**special-K** · 12-13-2018, 12:12 PM

Yeah, two heavy hitter Chevy powered race cars, Cheetah and Grand Sport Vette, and that Corvair was running them all down. I want that!!
