I really think my car likes are trending to air cooled cars. I don't know why....but I seem to gravitate towards them.

Very nice. I think I am picking up ‘70s motorcycles for the same reason. Our 962 mechanic said a real race car is air cooled.

Here’s a good collector tip - motorcycles can fill in the wasted space that won’t fit a car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I’ve owned many Corvair Corsa’s over the years.
All but one have been turbos. They were
Great bad weather cars when the 914 was put
away for the winters.
The only other air cooled 6, I have ever owned besides
Porsche’s and Corvairs...

They made them That Pretty?! Wow! I rode in one oncet. In high school. My friend told me he had read that the transmission was shared with a vette. But not the drive shaft, which he managed to snap. On his Dad’s car.

In 1966 they went to a Saganaw Transmission. Those are the
ones the hot rod guys used when they put the V8 mid engine.
Crown made a kit that was fairly popular..

You should consider bringing it to the best air-cooled only event in the East.
The 14 Annual All Air Cooled Gathering, September 14,15,16, 2018.
Yes, there is a Corvair class.

Good looking car Bill.

I have always liked the second generation Corvair body style. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
