Hey, I like the Corvair and think it is WAY cooler than that beast. Agreed! Love 'em or hate 'em, second-generation Corvairs are extremely attractive cars.
[quote ztirffritz]Plus it gets better than 20 MPG. What domestic car do you know of from the '60s that could claim that? Ford Falcons (whose thin-wall cast iron six-cylinder engine actually weighed less than the Corvair's aluminum six cylinder, even counting the weight of the radiator), Chevrolet Chevy IIs, various Ramblers, and Plymouth Valiants and Dodge Lancers/Darts with six-cylinder engines.
[quote ztirffritz]Actually...after taking a second look I think you may be right. Agreed again.
