Will it Run and Drive after 10 years?! Project Corvair goes UP in FLAMES!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- Join us on an adrenaline-fueled journey as we breathe new life into a neglected classic, the iconic Corvair. After a decade of slumber, our mission was clear: could this forgotten gem still run and drive? But our quest took an unexpected turn when the Corvair faced its fiercest challenge yet-a literal trial by fire!
Watch as we meticulously revive the Corvair, coaxing it back to life with patience and perseverance. From the first tentative turn of the key to the triumphant roar of its engine, every moment is a testament to the power of restoration and determination.
But just when we thought the Corvair's saga couldn't get any more thrilling, fate intervened in the form of a rear-engine revelation. Witness as we unveil the ultimate upgrade.

These dudes deserve more subscribers for sure. Quality content. Humor. 💩 boxes. What more could anyone want?!
Only if we could get em quicker!! Appreciate the comment!
I could want maybe a couple drinks, maybe a good burger and fries if you could add that, thanks.
Yea good content
You two are “Unsafe At Any Speed”
😂 including parked. 😂
Heheheheheh
Old Ralph Nadar would be right proud.
I wonder if anyone got that reference. Certainly no one under…a certain age.
Watching you guys reminds me of a sticker I once saw on an off-road rally car: "Coupla Nuts in a Tin Can!" You need that sticker for the wayout shaker hoodscoop on that Corvair! 🙂
Hahaha! It's a good shirt idea too!
This channel definitely deserves more subscribers.
We appreciate that!!
Love this channel and TY folks for taking us along for the ride. 👌👍👌
Thank you!!
Choice ending there boys made me laugh my ass off and I love the drag and, drive idea for the Chevy you guys are going to have a blast!
Heck Yeah!!!
My Corvair is one anti theft inspection in July away from being my daily driver lol. Don’t throw that engine away! There’s a strong Corvair community and someone will definitely want it! Those engines are super easy to rebuild.
"lets jump for joy, and clap some cheeks". I have deceased.
I hope the capybaras helped you come back alif tho
If you pull off that build and take on a drag and drive, I think it will get this channel some great exposure!
We hope so!!
40 yrs ago there was a guy around town
that had a 67 corvair with a 318 in the rear .
Thank You for sharing your video .
Spent lots of road time with my best friend and his Corvair. We actually dropped the motor out of it just by removing the two fine thread nuts toward the back. Also remember my grandfather had a one wheel trailer back in the late 50’s.
Hopefully it's that easy for us too! Good memories!
I spent lots of miles behind the wheel of a 1962 Corvair convertible. Thankfully we never did a backflip! But we definitely felt the front lifting off the road once, to the point where I lost effective steering. A quick touch of the brake pedal brought the front back down and I regained control.
Hahaha that's crazy! Shoulda committed and did a trick! just kiddddinnggg
Corvair catching fire seems just like what they did back in the day
And cool flips
The rain shots at the intersection were absolutely epic !
Appreciate that! It was fun haha
That cowl hood's bad ass, it's gotta give you room for like 1 or 2 more bags of groceries! Seriously though, y'alls channel is f'n awesome, love the content!
We need all the room for groceries.... and Bob. Can't forget Bob. Thanks!
I say this as an FYI for your plans to drop the complete impala SS setup into the Corvair. Before doing any LS performance upgrades, get the transmission checked out, if not overhauled first. The 4T65E shit the bed with the 3.5L v6 so you can imagine the shortened lifespan bolted to a 300hp LS4, let alone a modified one. If you guys really plan on making stupid power with the corvair and not break the bank completely by going race car transaxle, consider looking for a 60’s-70’s Oldsmobile Toronado. Those came with a heavy duty turbo 400 that can handle a lot more power compared to the 4T65E and there’s no computer to deal with.
Wellll shiiiiiiii, now im on facebook marketplace
Loving every minut of this!!! keep it up guy's....
greetsz from holland.... max...
Thanks Max!
That is actually the way the car collects heat for the heater; those “bellows” are temp activated. 2nd gen Corvairs ‘65-69 are really underrated cars. Underpowered, but really cool. BTW, if that is a ‘66 4 speed, it’s worth some money. First time Corvair had a fully synchronized trans. 61-65 trans had no synchro first gear.
Sounds like a hell of a plan, worried about that Trailer tire though doing a drag & drive.
Unreal how that engine fired up & ran after sitting that long.
Dad had an 66 Corsa back in the 80's, it was a stick with 4 Carb's instead of 2, FUN RIDE.
I guess we'll see how it does haha! Yeah it was surprising how well it started, usually we have problems with pulling gas or someone messing with timing, but since it was in the yard, we knew it wasn't fondled with too much hahaha
Best content…. Keep it up boys! This channel will blow up with new subscribers!
Hope so! Appreciate it!
Nice job Nice corvair Nice show cool yard 😃👏👏👏👍👍👍👍😍
Needs cleaned!! hahahha
Man, I love what you guys are doing!! Had a bit of fun like that in my youth and in the same county as you, only our fun happened over around Beaver.... I still live in Boone. You have a treasure trove of vehicles on the property.... you gotta do a badass run on Twister Hill!!
"When you don't learn that's when you know you're not learning"
Came for the cars, stayed for the life advice.
I had a 67 Corvair back in the 70's and dreamed of putting a V8 in it, today I have a C8! I look forward to following this conversion. Check out John Reynolds outstanding conversion!
BTW, the engine sounded awful when it restarted after the fire because it was detonating because it was hot. Once it cooled off, it ran normally. Glad you didn’t wipe it out!
Ahhh good to know haha
day late, but DDDTs on a Monday, what better way to start the week
We started with sat sun last year, end of year. Then went to monday and saw a decline. Now starting sat afternoon/ sunday depending on how fast I need to edit. We're still studying it tho!
John Leeson fairly recently 2018 Invented The SPARK PLUG TESTING KIT.
Thanks John.
You guys are a trip to watch. I need neighbors like you to hang out with.
Haha, glad you enjoy watchin!
Probably my favorite channel at the moment. What you guys do is right up my alley.. BTW I'd love you see some content on the econoline sometime
Glad you like the content! We plan to fix every car on this land and organize the crap out of it at some point. If we could blow up a lil more/ the funds were better we could take more time away from our businesses/ hire out haha
Thats a utiiity trailer that clamps to the rear bumper of your car... My father had a covered one that clamped onto the bumper of our old pickup & we stored fishing & camping gear in it and hit the mountains in summer
Badass
Thanks!
What a great project and a cool trailer 👍👍
Thanks!
I just discovered you guysl. Really really good. Thanks UA-cam for the suggestion, a bit late though.
thanks for terrific vid dudes. Love to see you playn around!
Thanks for watching!!!
Let's go! This is gonna be awesome
That is great! Hope you get some more subscribers and viewers!
I hope so too! Thanks!
Can’t wait to see how this turns out. Awesome video 👍🏻
Thanks!!!
Thats a cool yard/shop
2 engine AWD corvair would be nutty, but impractical
Sheeeeessshhh couldn't imagine tuning that
Do you guys ever give tours of your place? it looks very cool. Love this channel and traveling to Iowa this week
Sometimes! If you know the secret password
Password please !
I'm in Clair
Keep up the grate videos .
Awesome Really Enjoy your videos
Thanks so much!
Can’t wait for this build!
Is there a dragstrip near Marshalltown? I can only think of the one by cedar falls and near ottumwa
All I can say is the transmission for the corvair most def won’t hold up but I can’t wait to see it done also the impala transmission is probably toast too not to be a downer but most of the have issues.
Well darnit, someone recommended the tornado with the 400 and that might be an option before we get cuttin.
That’d be the strongest option
Can’t wait to see the LS convertion
Heck yeah!
Car-B-Que !
I would like to apologize for my earlier comment about the condition of your yard and white trash. That was uncalled for. I actually really enjoy your videos.
And them bits have got outrageous expensive.
The man is an ASE MASTER tech he had to pass a test. Mostly about 67 Buicks and chevy chevetts asI remember .Let's see you pass the test for ASE .I will never watch your video's again until you come out with a new one.
🤣
Just found your channel today. What's the story on the 8-door Greenbrier in the background?
Those cars have a cool look. Would be cool to see someone body swap on to a rear wheel drive chassis and make a cool burn out car. Take it to cleetus events.
The G.M g body frame will fit under a Corvair with minor mods. Track width and wheelbase are almost identical making for a great front engine Corvair
I owned a 67 Corsa last year with a small block 400 and a 10 bolt posi , I had modified the engine in the front of it
Nice!
@@DailyDrivenDeathTraps I'm interested to see how y'all do this build
Corsa only offered in ‘65-‘66
@@cheaptricked I can't help that, I had a 67
somewhere around early 1970s we had a saw like the one behind the corvair my father would rig up a old truck to rub the pully and turn the blade and we cut wood i got cut really bad but the pully had a spot broken out of the pulley just like the one behind the corvair what are the odds i am in south east alabama
That should be super bitchin! Cannot wait to see it!✊
I love corvairs can I get that one from you
At about 2:00:00, a beer keg powered Corvair? Yeah, I endorse that. \m/
Let me drink the beer first, then you can put in the gas. BURP!!
Not sure if u gents named this flagship car yet. I’d hope you would but if not how about the corvairette?!
Why do a back flip? How about a front flip! 👌
🤣
Enjoy your show guys very much but you know that’s an air cool engine like Volkswagen you ran it for any length of time you need to adjust the valves the noise I was hearing when you started it up after the fire I would recommend you adjust the valves it’s easy to do Great by the way, I have one in my station wagon produce and over 280 hp with my turbo Corvair engines are great
Thanks for the info! We might make a trick out of the corvair engine we take out haha!
Hey fellas when you got a fire under the hood .Pull a battery cable . The fire will go out instantly unless it is oil or fuel fire. Hope you all V 8 swap it
Good info! To bad it was oil hahah
Right on boys, can't wait to see the LS in the corvair
Hecckkkkk yeah!
I'm still trying to figure out why anyone would put a hood scoop on a Corvair, LOL!
To fit more groceries of course!
@@DailyDrivenDeathTraps Oh...makes sense.
When you don't learn that's when you know you're not learning😂😂😂😂
Sometimes it really do be like that
I heard that too. So true lol
take a fwd impala ss ls ,trans and transaxle and put it in the back........v8 fwd drivetrain in the back wow,i called it
You called it!!!!
That has got to be the easiest trailer to back up.
Oh heck yeah it is. Unless your a....
Girl
Ah Gen Z, your cultural knowledge is less than complete. ‘The Wizard of Oz’ was the movie (and book) with the tornado. In ‘Alice in Wonderland’ the young lady goes down a rabbit hole.
No disrespect, guys! Love the channel and the ambitious builds. Great content! Always makes me want to jump for joy and clap some cheeks.
We knew that, there was just a little too much going on to really think about what we we're saying hahaha. I grew up on those movies!
Alrighty now, lets go jump for joy and clap some cheeks!
All that oil is probably from the orings failing on the pushrod tubes; old rubber can’t handle that air cooled heat. Now they have seals made from Viton; problem solved.
Fire means you did something wrong. ANY bits of miuse house in the fins or in the lower shrouds will burn, actual oil fires are not easy to put out like that. Maybe you got lucky maybe the oil wasnt actually burning yet.
Mine doesnt leak though.
You wouldn't want to part with that Ford delivery truck would you?
What is that animal?
Who me?
My birthday is today 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Eyyy happy birthday!
One of the coolest cars ever built with probably the worst engine ever built. Can’t wait to see this ole girl rebuilt
I see that FJ40 and I wonder... what did it do to you?
Do you not understand the process of bodywork lol?
@@DailyDrivenDeathTraps Sadly... I do.
@@lazlosfj40garage58 haha! So you know what’s coming! Long and lengthy restoration
@@DailyDrivenDeathTraps I have 2 FJ40s... I feel your pain
But why the capybara ?
To help people sleep at night!
Capybara, thats all
Its bara time
Barra*?
@@kevinb9239 short for them cappy bois
Nooooo not capybara, Ford Barra
LS swap drag and drive car???
Oh yeahhhhhhh 💪🏼💪🏼
@DailyDrivenDeathTraps should have watched to the end before I commented lol. Awesome!!! I'm here for it.
Would make sense. The automatics were powerglides
I would rather redo the corvair engine
Set it up with a mechanical injection, twin turbos and larger jugs.
Think of it as a Stage III Yenko Stinger
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood? Woodchucks must be a thing in Iowa 😂
Dude we've got a problem. There's just too much wood in this backyard.
@@DailyDrivenDeathTraps 😂
That's how a Corvair should have came with a V8
True that yo
I want hog hunting videos now!
2nd channel content?
Hahahaha maybe one day!
You can 350 V8 swap a Corvair, it’s been done.
But an LS in the back would be cool also.
Guys I don't want be the guy that harps about safety. But don't just depend on that floor jack while your under it .
Thank you, Larry! "Alex's Mom" 😉
Nichollleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
We'll try to remember! Thank you!
Do a couple of videos making the house look nice and take a break on working on cars 😂
Not ours
@@DailyDrivenDeathTraps 👍
i got a headache also car
Wut
@@DailyDrivenDeathTraps im just as confused as you are.
@@Oddball159"I got a headache also, car" ? Perchance?

It’s wizard of oz lmao
Who me???
@@DailyDrivenDeathTraps u said gets sucked up in a tornado like Alice n wonderland it was wizard of oz that gets sucked up by tornado pretty sure
@@DailyDrivenDeathTraps yes u are a wizard harry
That could be a great classic car again. Don't ruin it......
We will!
😂😂😂😂😂
Wanna sell the gas pumps? Or one?
Old man would throw a fit if he knew you were just THINKING about em hahahaha.
@@DailyDrivenDeathTraps well it would give him a good excuse to through a fit this time
@@TheRustyOkie hahahaha, we plan to clean the yard up at some point and make this a mini town with cars started all around it.
@@DailyDrivenDeathTraps looking forward to the vids. Definitely enjoy the ones you gotta drive home
Learned how to trash out another car. 😮 🤷
Huh?
😂😂 it’s basically a Ferrari
Welll... if you squint...
Hate Corvairs. That engine might be cool in a dune buggy though.
You guys are too fake with the fake comedy routines. Just be yourself instead of trying to be like another UA-camr
You must be subbed because you’re early for a hate comment. Who are we trying to be exactly? Because we’ve always been like this.
@@DailyDrivenDeathTraps Don't feed the Jealous Trolls, YOU GUYS ARE LIKE NO OTHER, LUV THE SHOW.

Quit yappin, buddy, go start your own youtube channel then with Jeb Bush
I hope those bad tornado's that went through Iowa didn't affect you guys at all. No new video this week.
We're all good here, new video this Sat. We're usually an every 2 week upload unless somethings easy or something f's up major haha
