$800 Classic Chevy: Will it RUN? (And Maybe Even DRIVE?)

I find it very moving to see an old forgotten car move under its own stream again. It’s hard not to anthropomorphise cars sometimes, and you can just imagine that old girl grinning as it drove out of the shop.

Learned to drive in my grandma's '63 Corvair Monza 900 convertible, I've loved 'Vairs ever since! Congrats on getting this beauty running again!

Good job on a desirable Corvair! Hoping this becomes a long-term project.

Glad to see you back in the shop! We need more redline rebuilds! Please!

Perfect. Hope this car has a spot in future videos. Really miss Kyle’s Garage. Good seeing him again.

Looks like a new core engine for a Redline time lapse!

It’s always fun to see a car that has sat brought back to life. Those second gen Corvairs are pretty cars and interferometer an engineering standpoint. For a car that was flooded, it didn’t have any water level marks on anything (not even the brake drums, wheelcovers, or tires).

Love it, rode in one of these for years as a child, 1962 Monza left teeth marks in the passengers side dash where I would ride sitting on my mothers lap. Great cars. 1965 one evening, my father who was a plastics buyer for Chevrolet, fell asleep at the wheel of his 62, car hit the center median cross over, launched into the air and came down rear wheels first saving my fathers life and only breaking the oil filter mount.

Love seeing Davin back in the shop . . . getting his work done! 🛠️ 🧰

I liked the rebuilds I hope you can do another one some day. These are fun too, still enjoy Devins humor and style

Had to watch! An actual corvair that's not in a junkyard!

Pretty clean for a flooded car. Despite their troublesome reputation of cheapness and hazardous handling, no one can deny Corvairs are pretty cars with a simple yet elegant design. Glad to see this one going back to the road.

Next episode of engine rebuilds: rebuilding engine of Corvair! (That's what i 'd like to see)

Great to see you back in the workshop. I enjoy the videos in the workshop environment. But a great channel and fantastic content.

I always thought these 2nd gen Corvair convertibles and coupes were awesome looking. I kind of want a Monza 4-speed for my next project car.

I'd take it and do a proper repair and refurbish of the whole car. Yes, the factory actually stiffened the frame of convertible cars LOL. You got me laughing watching you get that belt off. It was hilarious! I got a puller :) and don't put a solid balancer on a late model Corvair.

Glad to see you back in the shop.

Good to see you Davin, I really miss your videos. I would love to get some update on the oldschool racecar!

That's awesome! You bought a classic back to life!

My girlfriend bought a red 65 or 66 Corvair Corsa while I was serving in Vietnam. When I returned home we were married, and we drove it to my next assignment at Altus AFB in Oklahoma.We packed up all our things, including her dog and drove straight thru to Oklahoma non stop. I remember it had multiple one barrel carbs (with a four speed the best I can remember). It gave no mechanical problems whatsoever during the trip there or back a year and a half later to the East Coast. The next vehicle we bought was a 1970 Pontiac GTO.
