My father is a huge Corvair fanatic. He owns and drives several of the coupes. And has several non-running coupes, rampsides and greenbriers.

Air-cooled aluminum flat 6. In the rear, no less. Definitely the tinkerer's car. They got a bad rap from Ralph back in the day, but all the problems of "unsafe at any speed" were solved by the 2nd year of production. I myself have a '61 rampside that I'm (slowly) restoring. Good stuff!

Sorry you have to part with your baby,
