'66 Corvair "Marigold"

[Cameron 1137]

I might have struck gold with this one!

On tuesday i bought this 1966 Chevy Corvair 500 Coupe.
She is sandalwood tan with a fawn/tan interior. In bright sunlight the tan looks more gold, thus the name "Marigold"

She has a 164cid 110hp opposed six, fed with 2 single barrel rochester carbs, backed up with a power glide. She also has manual brakes and manual steering, like all of the other corvairs ever produced.NONE had ps/pb

This car is a ton of fun to drive, and so far it has proved to have pretty good gas milage.

In 1965 the Corvair body style changed completely to the more curvy and sporty lines, it was also the first year for the new Independent rear suspension.

In 1966, 36,747 500 Coupes were produced.

I can't call this a build thread, because, well, there will be no building, So I'm going to call it a "updates" thread. I will occasionaly post updates on things i change/ do to the car. I hope you all enjoy the pictures. Corvairs are another passion of mine, this being the second Corvair in the family. If anyone has a question about Corvairs, please feel free to ask, I like to spread knowledge about these cars!
