Literal bugs, there were a ton of them in this 1966 Corvair that Cletus dragged off of a farm in rural Ontario. We try our best to get this old beast running and driving in time for Hagerty’s Maple Mille, but it needed a lot and we were running short on time. Watch to see what happens with THIS wreck!

I think they sold the Corvair last month, just too far gone, IIRC.

We actually had a great experience with the Corvair community! Very friendly and knowledgeable, unfortunately, this car was just too crappy to be financially feasible.

The sad thing about Corvairs is that the supply still outstrips the demand. So fixing them up really isn’t financially worth it. Every one you see fixed up is truly a labor of love.

yeah, with a dead cylinder that was probably a good call financially.

Woohoo, I’m internet famous now too :p

Sucks that the engine turned out to be bad in the end, could have been a really cool car.
