When my little shop opens up again, probably next summer, I might drag it home if I still have it. Sure takes up less room than one of our trucks. It will make my shop seem large =)

Corvair prices have always been "pretty low".. In 1978, the last year I raced, I bought a running and driving '65 Corvair for $35.00.. I peeled off the front fenders, doors, quarter panels, roof skin, and deck lid (engine cover??), and used the pieces as a body for my dirt track racer.. I sold the engine and transaxle for $50.00.. Sold the remaining metal as scrap for about $40 - $50.. took the interior to the land fill.
