The Beginning...
A group of Corvair enthusiasts from across the state of North Carolina first met each other at the CORSA National Convention held in Chicago during the summer of 1974. Enough excitement was generated at this meeting to send the participants home with the primary purpose of forming a CORSA chapter in North Carolina. This group and several other interested individuals met at Tanglewood Park in Winston-Salem on September 22, 1974. Following that meeting, our state chapter, CORSA/N.C., was formed. Since that time, CORSA/N.C. has grown to include four local clubs throughout the state, including our local group, NC Mountain Corvairs.
Prior to becoming the NC Mountain Corvairs, we were known as the “Asheville Corvair Buffs” and represented the western end of North Carolina at club events throughout the southeast and at CORSA National Conventions across the country. In 1988, the Asheville Corvair Buffs were the local hosting club for the extremely successful CORSA National Convention. Over the years, the Asheville Corvair Buffs have evolved to be known as NC Mountain Corvairs. Our name has changed to better reflect the entire area that we represent. However, our purpose is still the same — to preserve the Corvair, and to enjoy the company of great Corvair-owning people.
