Well I seen it and I'm staying with my Miata. OK I don't need to fix anything, but the interior feels empty, wide but it's CLEAN!! The steering wheel is HUGE and THIN! You feel that all the weight is in the rear. The plasti-dip was not that great IMO + some crucial parts from the body are covered with it, so I don't know if there's rust. It's a no go. I'll keep looking.

You're a stronger man than I, Rotary. Granted, you've the benefit of actually seeing the car, but there are a few oddities out there I have the hardest time walking away from and most are rear-engined. Type 2, 3, Corvair etc.

I had a hard time saying no to myself...but I knew I would kick myself in the head if I took it. The dashboard gauges felt incomplete and that turned me off with the fact that it's an automatic also. There was a gap on the driver's door (accident like), the rubbers seals on the windows were dried up (easy fix I think), computer speakers were hooked up in the rear for the radio and the guy fit a 2005-07 mustang double mufflers. It didn't feel like a 6000$ car. Felt like a bit less.

Exactly what I did. But seriously, I see myself driving one.

Step back, reboot, locate and obtain other Corvair.

It's rare...the good deals are in Ontario, but then I'll have to make it pass the inspection here. I'm not willing to go through this again.

Hi there, i know your post is old but just to let you know that the corvair you we’re interested in, i bought it last spring, of course its always a wild guest with vintage car but, you miss a good one there, i drove over 12,000km so far with it and only have to do oil change so far, very reliable and i removed the plasti dip and the body was in great shape, even the paint was not bad. this is how the car look now https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid…
