Wow!
Corvair graveyard

Islip, L.I., NY had a great Corvair junkyard when I had my 696.
This company also has a good selection of NOS, reproduction, and used parts. Highly worth the visit if you get out to the west coast and are a Corvair fan.
Flat 6 cyl engine, and one of the first American made vehicles to use a turbocharger!
Now if it wasn't for the dumb fan belt....
But they didn't use electric motors to run cooling fans back then. Just imagine what it could have been.

Never heard of this place when I had a '64 convertible well before the internet and it's not too far from me. Did mail order with Clark's Corvair when they had a huge catalog. They still around? Wonder how long before the neighbors try to get the place shut down if they haven't already.
Thanks for sharing Malo. Never heard of this place.
That's awesome, and sad at the same time. Hate to see them just rotting away.
If they were Camaros, many of them would be put back on the road.
Live not far from there, spent many hours there picking parts when I restored my 1966 Monza Coupe, nice people, very helpful, experts on everything Corvair. Yes Clark's Corvair Parts is still alive and well. There is a very active Corvair community.
Lots of Corvairs are still around, as they made 1.8 million of them in lots of different configurations and body styles.
Haven't seen a 'vair in public outside a car show in over a decade. Did see an air cooled VW yesterday and usually every few months.
