I was talking to guy last night with a later model Corvair, I think 1965 maybe, He said he modded the front suspension and left the factory independant corvette style rear alone ( the ones after the recall) its the best handling car he owns. I need a ride in one of those.
I had a Ralph Nader for President sticker on mine, to get inside people's OODA loops. I still got plenty of comments.

I have had many conversations over the years with people who wanted to chat about cars, but it was obvious they didn't really know accurate details about the car(s) they were talking about. It's all good - they just wanted to be a part of it, so let them and move on.

lol.. it was a 0/0 cam and engine after the drive gear let loose. Many lost engines, it's well documented on the v8sho.com website. I was lucky enough to get it fixed (welded) before it completely failed and did major engine damage. And no, there were no engine mods or power adders.
