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

Should be delivered soon....

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.

Don't quit your day job because that is exactly what i thought it was going to be ...

Lucky guess....

Way cool car!

Nice move...

OH WOW...VERY NICE!

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.

The yellow is a '70's Corvette yellow

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..

Being the car classifieds and auctions junkie that I am, I saw you snag the car. Congrats, it looks awesome!

BAT is the bane of my existence. This the second car I have bought from there

This one recently spotted at the Petersen museum L.A. it had Yenko livery on it, but will need to find out if a tribute or the real deal ¿¿Click to view attachment

my Dad 1977

Very tidy someone has spent $$$$,I have always liked the looks and the bad reputation which was and is known , no different of many cars in that era but these got extra flack from some called Ralph.
Tell us more, .

Very nice Bill!!! cant wait to see it

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.

I remember having a friend that had a 64 Monza Spyder when I was in high school. Man that thing was wicked fast. My parents also liked Corvairs, we had a 62, 64 and a bus.

Like this?

Being delivered next week...1964 Monza Spyder (turbo 150 hp)

unfortunately that would conflict with Okteenerfest this year.

Same Petersen cruise-in car, I will meet up with him next C+C and discuss Yenko's, it does have an insane camshaft Click to view attachment

my dad has a yenko serial number listed under hid misspelled name ...they cant find.
Don was a good guy doing what SCCA wanted...

Yenko Stingers are awesome....is it bad that I'd rather have one of them than a Yenko Camaro/Chevelle/Nova?

Picked up another....nicely restored 1965 Corsa 140 with 4 speed and positraction. Lots of options. This car is a senior class show car from past Corvair conventions.

Not trying to be a cheerleader for these cars. But, they really are fun to drive and no Porsche tax on parts. Not only that, the design has aged exceptionally well.
