Available for sale is a genuine General Motors New Old Stock (NOS) Ignition Switch, GM part number 1116687, designed for 1966–1967 Chevrolet Corvair models, including the Corsa, Monza, Stinger, and 500 series. This original GM service replacement component is a rare and highly sought-after part for restorers seeking factory-correct electrical components for late-model Corvair restorations.
The 1966–1967 Corvair lineup represents the final evolution of Chevrolet’s unique rear-engine, air-cooled automobile platform. Renowned for its distinctive engineering and impressive handling characteristics, the Corvair remains one of the most collectible and historically significant vehicles ever produced by Chevrolet. Performance-oriented models such as the Corsa and Stinger are especially prized among enthusiasts.
The ignition switch is a critical component of the vehicle’s electrical system. It controls power delivery to the ignition circuit, starter system, and accessory functions, enabling proper engine starting and electrical operation. A dependable ignition switch is essential for reliable vehicle performance and safe operation.
After decades of use, original ignition switches often experience wear from repeated key operation, internal contact deterioration, corrosion, or age-related mechanical fatigue. Symptoms of failure may include intermittent starting problems, electrical interruptions, or complete ignition system failure.
This component is a true New Old Stock (NOS) GM service replacement part. Manufactured during the original production era and never installed, it retains original factory specifications, materials, and engineering standards designed specifically for Corvair applications.
Unlike many modern reproduction parts, NOS GM electrical components provide authentic construction, correct terminal configurations, and precise fitment. This ensures compatibility with original wiring harnesses and factory electrical systems while preserving vehicle authenticity.
For restorers, maintaining original ignition system components is important for both operational reliability and historical accuracy. Whether restoring a Corvair 500, Monza, Corsa, or Yenko-inspired Stinger project, using genuine GM components helps preserve the vehicle’s originality and collector value.
As original Corvair-specific electrical parts continue to become harder to locate, NOS ignition switches like this are increasingly valuable to collectors, restoration professionals, and Corvair enthusiasts.
