@kolbpilot Thanks for taking that into account. No question that mods make big differences in performance!

@raconter1 Right.....providing it is all stock. The engine in the video here appears non turbo, yet sporting a nice, custom, free flowing intake system. And, what ever other goodies are hidden away in the engine here & there. Plus, probably an upgraded exhaust system. 140+ hp on this modified, very nice, Corvair engine, is my guess.

@kolbpilot The regular engine had 110 hp while the turbocharged engine had 150 hp...according to the "Standard Catalog of American Cars". Thanks! :) Jack

110 horsepower @ 1:30 Probably off by 30 horsepower or so.

@kolbpilot Yes indeed...I'll agree! Chevrolet spent a lot of money designing this car..and this second generation had a really nice streamlined look to it. This owner did some nice modifications to the interior..making it even better. It's clear that this owner loves this car! Thanks! :) Jack

To me, the second generation Corvair is (was) some of the most innovative and fresh and creative designs to come out of GM. The original Corvair was brilliant enough in appearance, but the 1965 replacement is spot on. The one in this video is impressive, my kinda' car.

I had a Forest Green version of this exact same model. The mods to the interior dash are really eye-catching. And that engine bay is great - the sound insulation, air cleaner assemblies, paint color scheme, really on the mark. If you have not owned one of these, please consider replacing the factory "wool" engine insulation. It is absolutely the worst dirt and oil magnet you can imagine. Thanks a lot for posting this! Great memories.

@melotone I'm glad this has brought back some great memories for you! The interior and engine compartment really attracted me too...this is not your standard restoration! It is a perfect updating of the car! That's a great tip about the insulation...it's nice to have something that's functional and stays clean too! Thanks!

Nice video Jack...always enjoy your car vids. Base Vair engine from 1964-69 was 95 hp. RPO L62 provided 110 hp (mine is a 110). L63 was 140, used 4 carbs. Turbo in 1965-66 Corsa was 180 hp forget the RPO number, that one had a single sidedraft carburator and vacuum retard to keep the engine from blowing up in turbo mode.

@gojoe283 Thanks for the particulars on the Corvair powerplants! It's amazing that Chevy developed such a new powerplant...so different from their usual production..to power this car so different from their usual! Thanks! :) Jack
