Beautiful car. I've had 4 and 6 cyl. They are both great and should be kept stock. Hopefully new owner will ditch the spoiler.
@etmracing9 күн бұрын
@@bryanpiereson8083 they definitely need slight modifications, in stock form they are just plain weak… including the 914-6, which is basically just 1 more lug bolt for visuals. The cars sit way too high in the front for regulation and the wheels are just too tucked in. But once again, just my opinion. I’ve had 17 of them now, including six’s. This car turned heads, stock ones looks like VWs

Had mine for 10 years, until someone hit me and totaled my car. Amazingly enough, the car is so solid that I was able to safely drive it away. Unfortunately it didn't pass the safety check. But I totally miss my 535is...the best car I've ever owned.

Use a nickel to keep the cupholders closed. Turn the ac compressor off about a minute before you turn the car off. It will last longer. First start up of the day, wait until your green dots go off before driving. That is about eight seconds. Also, those dots tell you when your next oil service is due. Ordinarily about every six months. Air filter, too. Absolutely NEVER run low on coolant. Always keep a bottle of drinking water in the door pocket. Stop the car if the temperature Guage gets close to the red. Keep the tires at 34psi regardless of what is printed on the door inside. A clunking noise over bumps usually means lower control arm bushings need replacing. Do not park close to parking blocks and sidewalks as you will scratch your spoiler and wheels easily. Sometimes door lock mechanism will need to be lubrication. The module central locking and interior lighting is hidden in the trunk. These M54 engines are dead smooth. To hear them, you have to open the hood (bonnet). If you hear a rattling noise it might be the DISA VALVE. Fix it immediately or the engine will suck in the rivet. It is not an expensive item. Available at Walmart believe it or not. The new one's rivet is assembled in reverse and will not fall into the motor. They seem to last about ten years. Do the maintenance.

One of my 1st love's, 1st cars was a Covair. Everytime, I hear the word or see one (which is almost never) I think back to how beautiful that little car was, and how he, and his dad, Art, who worked on them, loved it. If I had the money, I would buy a couple of restored ones, save some unrestored ones, and give them as gifts to myself, him, my daughters and my great niecea and nephews. I LOVE that you took the time to document, and peer into so many of the vehicles. Thanks for taking the time, and for all the information! This was a great video, and I am definitely subscribing, even though I am 3 yrs late to this party 😃 I hope you, and those you love, are doing well. I live in Maryland, so we may even be neighbors!
