Finally got her home.

I finally got that last wheel turning and drove my new old car home today. It still needs a little brake work and a new battery, but I'm hoping to have it back on the road in a couple weeks.

Nice looking 'Vair! (freshly washed).

more pics please!

what is the power plant?

The previous owner says it has a 110 in it but I don't know for sure. Hopefully I can find a turbo motor for the right price once I get everything else sorted.

More pictures here.

nice...

I was sad when I saw a photo of a burned-down house in that big recent Cali forest fire. The outline of the garage slab was still visible and sitting in the middle of it was a Corvair, burned to a crisp

Ahhhh....so that's how it started...

dammit, Woody you owe me a keyboard

Funny, my dad set one of his 'Vairs on fire when he in college. In his parents' attached garage. In his panic, he threw a bag of fertilizer on it to smother it, which turns out to have the opposite effect. Narrowly avoided catastrophe.

Great, now I have to go looking for a Corvair wagon again.
