All I had to do was read these reviews to know that this is all about sales. The Prowler and the Viper were never about selling the most cars. The SSR sold over 24,000 vehicles. Not bad. I loved our Corvair Hardtop. Would buy another if I found the right one.

This past weekend I attended a Corvair event in Helen Georgia. I drove my 1964 Greenbrier 650 miles to get there.
I would estimate 100 Corvair's were in attendance and was told there was about 180 enthusiasts there.
The attached photo was taken early Saturday morning before the parking lot filled up.
My Greenbrier can be seen at the back of the lot (under the "Arrow").

Here is a Slideshow and a 7 minute Video from the event.
My Greenbrier can be seen if you look hard to the left side of the screen at the 5:47 and you can see me in the Black Corvair Forum tee shirt at 6:05. http://corvairspringfest.com/pic%5Cvideo-gallery

Kind of reminds me of one I currently own...

This is what the 1965 Corvair Monza coupe looked like the day I brought it home in October 2010.

This is what the 1965 Corvair Monza coupe looked like a few years ago. It is slowly going back together.

I bought the 1965 Monza convertible in July 2020 with the idea I could have something to drive sooner than later.

This is the 1964 Corvair Greenbrier Deluxe van I bought in December 2020 and spent two years on it before recently driving it to Helen Georgia and back.

This is a potential future project.
This van and the blue coupe were purchased from the individual I bought the Prowler from.
The Corvair's took a "Back Seat" regarding priority in the dozen years I enjoyed the Prowler.
When I sold my 1966 Mid Engine V8 Corvair coupe in 1999, I thought I was done with them.....apparently this was not the case.

I don't have a problem,I don't have a problem,I don't have a problem....Well, maybe a little bit of a problem...

I don't understand why some of you have so many vehicle's! At least I have enough sense to stop buying until I build more garage space. I'm stuck at 13 for the last 4 years, but I have been adding a 2 car garage in my head. We will see what my getting older body has to say about it.

This will be on America's Most Wanted.

The event I attended in Helen Georgia is an annual event and has been at the same location for many years. It was however, the first time I went to it.

There is another annual event that is well attended in Maggie Valley N.C. This year it will be held on September 13-14, 2024 http://vairsinthevalley.com/

There is a National Convention taking place in Dayton Ohio July 21-25 - 2024 http://www.daytoncorvairclub.com/

Here is a link to a Corvair Forum I frequent... http://www.corvairforum.com/forum/

There is another one but it recently changed "Administration" where many less than desirable "Improvements" were implimented. Regretfully that forum has essentially gone down the proverbial drain resembles a ghost town these days.
