I do not like Nader. (Non e30 or BMW content)

...So we made a deal and now i got the 358. I think it may go into my S-15 :twisted:...

I have the motor mounts for that swap from JTR, they are for sale. PM if interested, I'll let them go for cheapness.

Haha wow that is one interesting option...I wonder why they were so inclined to add that? Pretty neat.

Say what?! The Dodge Charger Daytona? That is badass!



I need a picture of that, I think that is hilarious.

My friend's dad has a lot of Corvairs, and a Greenbriar. He loves those things. If you ever decide to sell that, let me know.

It is the Charger.



Here's the tissue holder (it's a reproduction). It's one of the first things i ordered for the car.

Nader's criticism applied to the early models with swing axles. They had bias ply tires that would roll under and break the bead from the rim. The later models added a second CV joint to minimize camber change. Unsafe at any Speed referred to American cars in general in the early 1960's and led to padded dashes, seat belts, and a lot of other safety features that today are taken for granted.
Coming of age in the 1960's I recall a lot of cars crashing from blowouts. DOT tires of the period were rated for 85 MPH and were tubeless bias ply. They would pop the tire's bead from the rim and immediately lose air. I remember friends having a 356 Porsche and a beautiful Austin Healey 3000 with the factory racing windscreens crashing in this way in addition to a lot of muscle cars. It is a misunderstood book due to a massive PR campaign by the Detroit automakers.

And the Joe Dirt car is only 20-25min. away from me. He never drives it cause the cops told him to take that pile of junk off of their roads. Even though it's all "hollywood" makeup on the car.

Sorry to hijack the thread...

Don't matter to me.

I did trade the turbo drive line for a 358sbc today. My dad was wanting to put that 358 in his 66 monza with the Toro. trans axle. But he's been on me for the turbo. So we made a deal and now i got the 358. I think it may go into my S-15 :twisted:...

And i'd say $3000 would buy a nice one that would need some stuff. I bought this one here for $3000 with a burnt valve. And it came with a 1969 500 parts car that had a fairly fresh 140/4spd in it.

Convertibles scare me. They sag.

Does he want the early body style? I definitely prefer the late style... and the rear suspension is much better.

Sorry to hijack the thread...

I sold mine for 3000 with a valve seat wedged under the exhaust valve in the number 2 cylinder.

my dad has a 66 corsa and 61 rampside.

my dad and I started to restore a 61 rampside, but i went off and joined the military. it was a central california car it's whole life, bought by fresno state university as a utility vehicle!

how much does a good condition driver corvair go for? Nothing special, just a nice looking example. I might buy one for my dad's 60th birthday in a few years

Unsafe at any speed my ass.

I like it, nice and clean. My pops also had a corsa. His looked like your parts car though. He got it for $15 and used it for a feild car when he was a kid.
