Oh Crap, I have to reveal the year of my birth again..... 1956.
@IN THE FACE!: Thanks a lot... I just lost my lunch on that one!
Do you want to know why I have a soft spot for the Corvair? My Dad owned one of these, a 1963 Greenbriar, two toned green and white, with the base engine, and a three speed manual. Graverobber is right about the shifting, as the throws were rather long, but with such meager power, a stick really was the only way to go…
One of the first things I would do is to get a proper license plate bracket for the back of the car.
I'm so glad Ray is catching up on Hooniverse.
@JuanOxido: I hate people who have this level of Photoshop Skills. It would take me close to a week to reach this level.
Well, this looks like a posting that is more suited in generating views, and loosely related the cars. I'm not sure if your target audience will approve, or freak out, but that's none of my business.
The only thing wrong with this particular vehicle is the choice of Diesel Engines. You see, Caterpillar is now out of the Truck Engine business because they could not get their engines clean enough to pass the 2010 emission standards in the US. The C-7 is a particularly troublesome engine anyway, so if you are going…
I am so over facebook and twitter. I know all the cool kids are on these sites, but I have barely enough time to read the overwhelming number of blog sites daily.
@RadioFlyer: Thanks Murilee for finding this interestin item. Although I took on my screen name (and lately Pen Name) for other reasons, everyone else thinks I took it on for this reason.
@UDMan: 1980 Buick Century
@UDMan: The 1978 Buick Century.
These cars were not all that bad. I put my Opel in the local Buick Shop (for a head gasket repair... don't ask) and I was given the keys to a Buick version of one of these, with the 231 cid V-6. It was comfortable, if a bit slow. The A/C worked well, and I could fit 4 rear world adults in the car.
Unfortunately, I am now working for a crappy company, and I report to the owners son, who has owned two of these, as well as the Cadillac version. Shows you what a Douchebag I'm working for.
I think it's about time to have all Miatas forced to run on 3 cylinders. I'm sorry if I offend anyone, but after witnessing some of the Miata teams (I'm glaring at you Endurance Karting) and watching this video, it's clear that the Miata teams are becoming the LeMons Douchebags.
You know Matt, if you are going to link an article, try not using a Rupert Murdoch owned site. He despises bloggers, calling them all plagiarizers, and charges for content.
@danio3834: I was going to say the same thing..... But what is with all the Volare hate? Yes they were bad in their day, but the later years turned out OK. First thing I would do (If I bought it for $4,000 that is) is install Vintage Air, and that would be it. I even like the color!
The only thing I remember about the Cordia is the fact that it was suppose to compete with the 3 door Accord. Accord... Cordia.... Accord... Hello, anyone?
