Projects Unsafe At Any Speed...Nader's Nightmare! '62 Corvair

Kathy... its only project 13 that wont ever get done! just joking.... He'll trick someone else in to doing a good portion of the work and the use the word "we"..... Just playing Rich. I'll come check out the project some time this week....

 

----------------
Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. One
question though....with or without
Teletouch drive??? For me, I'd have to
have the Teletouch.

I WANNA RIDE!
Our neighbor had one when I was a kid. A maroon 4 door. Rode in the thing several times. Rode kinda goofy if I remember - maybe RN was right!
But a V8 transplant in one of those things? HELL YES! LETS SEE YOU PROGRESS PICS!

 

Stick shift.

 

I have three flatheads for that.

 

Hmm, I was thinking four-speed, but the push ****ons in the wheel could be fun...

I agree!

 

When ya gonna paint the Rivi??

 

Next few weeks.

 

I washed the car, and started waxing the quarter panel and roof; looks like the paint will shine up enough to warrant paint matching whatever doors I find, and the engine lid she came with.

 

Yes the goodies corvair was for real,it was a blown small block with a corvair powerglide, i am still in touch with Al one of the counter men I worked there with.

 

Like PapaJohn's...

 

That's a hell of a frenched antenna.

Best of luck, crazy ****er!

 

I love the Covair conversions.
maybe go completely different and drop the engine in the back with an olds transaxle and straight front axle. THAT might risk the wrath of the board traditionalists

Keep on keep'n on...


DAMN... Hellfish beat me to it...

 

I really like that car.

 

When I first looked at the ***le of the thread, "unsafe at any speed", I wasn't sure if you were referring to Nader or the Corvair....... I've always believed the car was safer.

 

I have a photo somewhere that my dad took in the 70s of a black smallblock Chevy powered (if my memory serves me correctly...) Corvair. I think it was from an OKC Starbird show. I'll try to dig it up for you.

Setback.......

 

You should dress up like this guy when you take it to the strip:

No, I dont have any Goodies Speed Shop decals.

 

That is the sickest 'Vair i have ever seen! Anyone know what became of it?

 

I'll take Chi Chi, when you get it done (poor little orphan dog)!

 

Mmmm I love where this is goin......

 

Holy change of underwear batman!!!!!!

["Anyone know what became of it?"]
Hmmm?? Maybe (probably) destroyed after
flipping over backwards after doing the world's
biggest, highest, longest wheelstand?? Ya'

============================

 

I agree, downright evil!

 

damn that blower looks like it came streight off a 671 on a bardge in ny lol. this is gonna be a cool build Rich ill be watching closely!

 

I had this in the early 70's--it had a square-tube frame,straight axle and somebody shortened a 12bolt rear for it.I had a small block,big block / auto,and 4 spped at any given time in it.It was ALL over the track!

 

Thanks for the blower Pat!
