Other publications, like owners manuals and shop manuals will probably always be available. We'll do our best to keep this department current, but understand that some titles may not always be available. If you also know of a publication that would be of interest to Corvair owners, then let us know!

NOTE: The original manuals are a series of "Main" manuals and "Supplements".
For example, if you need info on a 1965 Corvair all you need is the 65 main
manual. If, however, you need info for a 1968, then you need the 1965 main
manual AND the 1968 Supplement. Sorry, manuals for 1960 are no longer in
print.
| Year | Main or Supplement | Part # | Price |
| 1961 | MAIN | U-188 | $24.95 |
| 1962-63 | Supplement | U-189 | $18.80 |

All shop manuals cover cars and FC's for the applicable year. 1960-64 manuals and supplements also cover body and interior items. 1965-69 manuals DO NOT include body and interior info - in which case you may also want to purchase one of the body by FISHER BODY MANUALS listed next.
|
In 1965, all body and interior information was taken out of the regular shop manuals and put in separate Body by Fisher service manuals - we have exact reprints. Note also that these manuals cover, not only Corvairs, but other HM cars from the same year. |
