My brother's wife owned two Corvairs, trading an early one, maybe 1960, on
maybe a 1965...I never heard any problems from them about theirs, and my
mother bought a new 1962 four speed coupe that she drove until she wanted
a new car in 1967. The only problem we had with it was the lousy may-pop
two ply tires. We blew a tire on the Interstate, swapped ends into the median,
jacked the car up on the grass, put on the spare, and drove on home. Oh, on
another trip when she was following me, I was in another car, the speedometer cable
went out on her Corvair...I disconnected it on the lot of an abandoned gas station, on that same Interstate, and replaced the part the next week. Those are the only problems she had..none with the fanbelt, and we heard about oil leaks but never noticed any.
