This meeting is important as we are getting close to our Lyman Show in August and we need to be ready. We are only about 1 year away from the Corsa Convention in Sturbridge with much work to do. There are still a few positions that need to be Chaired, etc. If you would like to step up and help out in anyway, please let me know ASAP. For the CT members that are already on the convention planning, you know there is an on-site meeting at the Sturbridge Hotel on June 11 th. Let me know if you would like to meet and carpool up that morning. Several of us started the year by heading up to the Carter Chevrolet Show on April 17 th. There was a lot of rain the day before, but Sunday morning was dry and brisk. Jim Forgey, Bob Krystofolski, and I met up with Dave & Terry Brown in Southington and caravanned up to Manchester. It was a nice little show and I believe six Corvairs showed total. Next was Rhinebeck and Barb & I along with the Forgey s decide to head over to NY on Saturday for some sightseeing before Sundays show. We visited the Roosevelt home and the Vanderbilt cottage in Hyde Park before heading down to Poughkeepsie for the night. We woke to sunny skies Sunday and headed north on route 9 to Rhinebeck joining up with an already large group of Vairs. I was told that 6 members met at John Kissam s for breakfast before caravanning up. This was probably the best Rhinebeck turnout yet with 24 Vairs showing including 2 wagons, 1 Greenbrier, and 1 Rampside. There are a couple of events coming up that I m hoping some Ct members will consider making. The first is an invite from the CT VW Club to join them at their show in July and the other is an All Chevy Show in Vernon that has some Bay State Club involvement. You will find more information for both of these on the following pages. Art Linden has provided his Corvair story for this month s MEMBERS RIDE that I m sure you will enjoy. Next month will be Jim Dunn and his Corvette powered late model. Let s get those Corvairs out and have some fun! Ron Manwaring Club President
2 RHINEBECK 2011
3 My First (¼) Corvair Art Linden Ron mentioned that his entire history with Corvairs was with his one beautiful Spyder coupe. I ve owned eight and a quarter Corvairs in my life, from 1962 to now. During that time I ve always had at least one Corvair. The first one was that one-quarter Corvair. I was just going into college in the fall of 1959 when the Corvair came out. I was intrigued with its nonconventional engineering, but the early sedans didn t set a young man s heart on fire. Later in 1960 when they introduced the Monza coupe, I really got interested. But I was going to school and was not in the market for a new car. My best friend and I were in a hot rod club in Willimantic. He had a 1940 Ford with a Buick V8 engine in it. I was working on a 1939 Ford four-door convertible with a Pontiac V8. But somehow while doing all this we decided that we wanted to build a sports car using the rear engine Corvair powerplant. We had more enthusiasm than experience as we embarked on this project. We bought a wreaked 62 Monza 102 Powerglide sedan. We cut out the frame around the engine up to the front of the rear wheels as the basis for our chassis. So now we had the rear suspension and engine installation. We bought a VW Beetle front axle assembly for the front suspension and steering. Not really knowing where to buy high quality steel tubing for the rest of the chassis, we found a guy who would sell us black-iron pipe. He bent this into two U shaped pieces for the basics of our frame. We welded it all together, made brackets for the Corvair instrument cluster and pedal assembly. We used the Corvair wiring harnesses and fuse block, and a sheet of ¼ inch aluminum for the floorboard. The seats were from Caldors. Got it all up and running and ran it around the parking lot of the building where we were building it.
4 When I got out of school in June of 1963, I bought my first real Corvair, a new Spyder convertible, Honduras Maroon, black interior, white top; beautiful car. This lasted me for almost two years before I decided that I had to have a new Corvette Sting Ray. In buying the Corvette I wanted to trade in the Spyder. But before that we got the idea that we should pirate the Spyder engine for our sports car. So we converted the 63 Spyder convert to at 102 automatic, swapping everything including the instruments, with wire harness, and the glove box door. The only things we didn t change were the Spyder emblems on the front fenders and the trunk lid. I drove this 102/PG around for a few weeks while searching for the Corvette I wanted. At trade in time the dealer never questioned why this 102/PG Corvair had Spyder emblems on it. The next step on the sports car was to build a body for it. Again with more ambition than knowledge, we thought we could follow the plans in the car magazines on how to build a fiberglass body. Alas, reality overtook us and the project ended there. And we started to realize it probably was not going to make a very good sports car. The weight bias to the rear was outrageous. We easily could pull wheelies with the 102 Powerglide. I m sure it would have been totally unstable at highway speed. What we didn t know was that we were ahead of the trend to build dune buggies. They came along a few years later. This was much more a dune buggy than a sports car. Eventually it was sold to someone who used it as a dune buggy. The best part of this experience is that in the spring of 1963 I interviewed for a job with Sikorsky Aircraft. My grades were not outstanding but the interviewer was a car guy. We spend most of the interview with me going through photos of the car and its construction. From this he decided that I should work in the Advanced Concepts Section of Sikorsky, where all the helicopter designs start out. I could not have asked for a luckier break.
5 VW CLUB INVITE Last fall, I met and talked with a member of the Connecticut VW Club while at a show in New Hartford. We talked about the possibility of doing a show together (like VolksVair) and it is something that we may explore. For now, they have invited us to attend their show in July and mingle. I m hoping we can get a few CT Corsa members to take a ride out and hang with some other cool car people. Let me know please. I ve already marked my calendar. Below is their invite and info. Hi, I'm the Secretary for the CT VW Association We'd like to invite you to our yearly show. It is Sunday, July 10th at the Lebanon Lyons Fairgrounds in Lebanon Ct.
