Re: Corvairs
In the late 70's I restored a 64 convertible. Paid $125 for it. Had a quarter sized rust hole in the top of one fender and that was it. White over black. Had a power top, automatic and factory A/C. Paid $300 for a paint job that would cost $4000 today, put new carpet, new top, a seat insert or two in it and found some factory knock off wire wheels for $60. Then I put some BR60 x 13 Goodrich Radials on it and had $1125 in an incredible car. Did not get to enjoy it though. My roommate took it out and wrecked it when I was out of town. I ended up selling it to his dad. I probably had several and even had a 63 Spyder coupe with the turbo but none as nice as the 64. Would have another if I could find the right project.
