Corvair vendors.

I have broken out the vendors into three sections: General, HiPo, and Specialty. If you sell something or supply a service and would like to see it on this web page, drop me a note. Please try to make your data fit the format of the other vendor listing. If you have a web page, I'll be happy to link to it.

Who's on the List.

This list is by no means all-inclusive, I am concentrating on the hipo and online communities. For a comprehensive listing of vendors, see the Corvair Society of America web pages.

Handy Car Care.

Owner: Ken Hand
I can supply many speed parts for a Corvair as well as build engines, transmissions (even close ratio) and differentials. I do 99% of my own work, there are a few machines that I cannot afford the machines but the work is done to MY specs or acceptable standards as set by other Corvair people.
I can modify your suspension for high performance street or racing.
I currently cannot take credit cards but I will do pay pal credit with the added cost to you for the fees, about 3%.

Silicone Wire Systems.

Prop: Seth Emerson.
Seth has been road racing and autocrossing Corvairs for probably way longer than he'd care to admit, and is one of the few people who has been successful in Street Prepared in a 'Vair. His 8mm wires should be considered standard equipment if you're doing any sort of upgrade to your ignition.

Michael has been racing Corvairs for several years now, his father Warren is another long time Corvair racer who started Levair Performance Products.

Otto Parts.

Finally, a note about Otto Parts. Blake Swafford worked for Otto Parts back in the sixties, then bought the company and expanded the line of parts to make your Corvair go faster. A few years ago (1994 or so), he sold his company to Clark's Corvair Parts. They have discontinued some of the Otto line, but do carry many of the special parts. You can also find many of the items once offered by Otto Parts new or used at Corvair swap meets. The Otto Parts catalog, which still shows the discontinued pieces, is available from Clark's as part of their Specialty catalog. Sadly, Blake was killed while training on his racing bicycle a couple of years ago.

Specialty Vendors.

These are folks who just sell a few selected items.

SDCS.

Proprieter: Bob Slusher
