Our Cars
    My Corvair is a 1963 Monza Coupe 927 with the 102 hp engine and 2spd Powerglide automatic transmission. VIN is 30927W151301 (the 51301:th made at Willow Run in 1963) 
    Mikael Dahlin and Carina (his wife) owns two Corvairs. The one depicted below is his 1960 4 door, recently restored from being totally dismantled! 

    There's a lot of pictures on this page so it will take a while (roughly 2 min with a normal modem) to load, but if you're interested in Stockholm as well as Corvairs, it will be worthwhile I hope. At the end comes the story how I came to buy a Corvair...

    So, how did I get interested in Corvairs? 


    Well, I have actually kept my eyes open for a year or so for a suitable object. In my case I had choosen three cars; Alfa Romeo Bertone, VW Karmann-Ghia or Volvo P1800 (you know that little sport volvo "the Saint" had), all from the early 60's. Well no-one ever showed up in the ads for the right price but suddenly a friend of mine called (Mikael) and had spotted the corvair ad. Beautiful car I thought and I knew some about it already becuse of my friend that had (and still has) a black coupe '63 (and the Sedan). 

    From left to right: Alfa Bertone, Karmann-Ghia and Volvo P1800, sleek arent they?

    So that was it, I went to the town Söderhamn in April 97 (a couple of hours north of Stockholm) and decided almost immediatly - this will be my baby! Maybe because of the fact that the car is lesser known (here) than the other three, the price was really good. And I have certainly not regret it! It has a more powerful engine, contains more innovative features than all the other three from comparable years. And yet, is as good-looking sleek 60's style, just the way I like'em...
