They're great little cars for the money.

Started as a '65 parts car. Transplanted a '68 140hp motor bored .040 over with a .280 lift Isky , drilled out all four carbs, remote oil cooler with custom plumbed Accusump oil system, quick steer arms and an OEM close ratio steering box, 4sp posi rear end upgraded with 4spyder gears. Still needs better brakes but an aftermarket disc brake kits is in the shop waiting to be installed. Period correct 14X7 American Racing wheels.
Affectionately called Scrufus Domesticus, or Scruffy D for short.

Then there's my '62 Utility van. Bone stock with the original 2sp 'glide and a 95hp motor.

Both cars are a ton of fun to drive. No matter where I go somebody stops me to ask what it is or to share their Corvair story.


P.S. A '64 356 Coupe rounds out the stable.
