After a year of scouring the rural junkyards, I eventually went back and got parts off the one that was badly burned/melted. These cars are just not out there. Early models all over the place.
Knockers, unispotters, and port-a powers OH MY! T he orange hood came from the burnt car. It has rot holes in the top a ton of “white lightning” bondo, in addition to being burnt. Unable to find a serviceable hood, I picked this one up just so I had a non-crushed one to straighten the car to. It ran once this year, and starts better than my Malibu. Just that pesky deer hit keeping it from top down cruising glory. That and the apparent deer hit in the exact same place sometime in the past.

For whatever reason, Phoenix is Mecca for Corvairs. When I had mine I found a guy who had four that he owned since new. He had a huge parts collection that he was trying to slowly sell off. We also have a whole Corvair junkyard, but they guy always wants stupid prices for parts.
Mine was a ‘62 though.

Good luck with the repairs! Really cool project, ive only ever seen 1 corvair on the road and it really stood out.
