1965 Corvair Convertible

Uggg....if I had room and time and the possibility of moving to a loft closer to everything weren't hanging over my head, I'd buy it and make it daily drivable. Stupid Craigslist, showing me things I want but cant put on my plate right now.

it's beat, but looks like it's in fair condition body wise

corvair was on "101 cars you must drive".

Yeah, it looks really rough, and apparently looks worse in person, but it might be a good start for a restoration project.

Over the past four months I've seriously considered buying

THREE different 2nd gen. Corvair hardtops. There's many

tempting examples out there.

You're preaching to the Choir.

I wouldnt mind a second generation Corvair. Although the first generation Greenbrier van is cool.

well satty, why didn't you tell me? My dad just traded his sweet great condition pristine 66 a couple weeks ago. fully functional. drives great all of that.

he paid 3k last fall and essentially got 5k back for it when he traded it a couple weeks ago. made a killing.

He said he got rid of it because mom didn't want to ride in it. she didn't like it sitting so low and open....maybe she's a crossover fan...LOL

Buy a used International-based Brinks truck.

Do you have any idea how freaking cool that would be?

I'm not knocking it... BOF-big-cube-(V8) or diesel power with

RWD can't be wrong, esp. with a nearly indestructible shell!

Rough car..cool idea though...

I happen to know where a rust free '64 can be found. :AH-HA_wink:

1967 Continental

Maybe the one car I'd want more than a Corvair. Looks pretty rough, but that would be a sweet restoration project.

I'd rather have a 1961-1964 than the 1967 Continental.

I'm not picky on Continentals. Suicide doors and the general pimp-image are all I'd need.

But I've moved past that because I found this 1958 Jeep. I emailed the guy for more pics and info. Depending on what he says, I'll have to decide if its worth sleeping in the living room for the next 6 weeks (if I'm lucky).

Crap, '74 Jeep that looks like it needs a lot less work.
