Darndot's 65 Corvair Coupe

I had to save this car from the crusher. It only has 25,000 miles but was torn apart by the last owner.

Cool! What are your plans for the Corvair? Modified or a stock resto?
Best wishes...

I will make a nice driver out of it. My wife has eyes on the car.

Nice save! She looks like a reasonably sweet place to start. Is the convertible done?

The convertible motor is done, but I have the front suspension in pieces. I am replacing all the bushings, and ball joints.

It will be a while before I can start work on this car.
