The Classic Corvair by Bob Helt
300+ pages, 8 1/2" x 11", over 160 photos and diagrams. The Classic Corvair is a 300+ page technical manual on
understanding, maintaining & upgrading your Corvair. It covers details & descriptions not found anywhere else. There is
a great deal of general identification info., general tech hints & actual repair procedures. Some of the material has been
covered in other publications, but this is well organized & presented. There are over 40 main topics in the index, such as:
annual changes, engine variances, carbs, bolt on power, cams, cranks, engine tear down, trans., etc. Each main heading
has from 1-20 subdivisions. I'd say this book is a cross between "Keeping Your Corvair Alive", "The Junkyard Primer"
and "The Corsa Tech Guides." Your first books should still be the original Shop Manuals, The Assembly Manuals,
THIS book and then "Keep Your Corvair Alive". C3601 1 lb. 8 oz.
THE CORV-8 (and other V8 Corvairs)
Fifty years later almost every discussion of Corvairs eventually comes around to Trevor and the Corv-8. It is an incredibly
compelling story of taking left for dead dirt-cheap Corvairs, adding a cheap small-block Chevy resulting in supercar
level performance for a couple of thousand bucks. The Corv-8 America’s Original Mid- Engine Supercar tells Trevor’s tale,
share construction details and tricks, and show cases numerous examples of owners cars from those to true to Trevor’s
original concept to others taking the Corvair to almost unbelievable levels of construction and performance. The book
also explores the cars of Kelmark, Mid-Engineering, ADE, and others in 130 pages with over 140 photos and illustrations
including original artwork by V8 Registry founder Russ Brandenburg. C887B 1 lb. 6 oz.
