You can see shades of the Bel Air in the rear 3/4 view, here's a hint of the upcoming Camaro in the profile, or an inexpensive car, he stylists seem to have put in a few late nights making it look right. The restoration continued that legacy, iving it a better than average finish, nd the bright red paint shines better than anything they were spraying in the '60s. That crease that wraps around the body runs in an unbroken line across every panel on the car, nd they all line up neatly, o a good amount of time has been invested in the fit and finish. The Corvair, f course, as no need for a grille, ut the trim that is on the car has been neatly polished, long with a set of chrome bumpers that sparkle. Inside, he Corvair offers room for five thanks to a handsome bucket seat interior. It appears that the seat covers and carpets were installed fairly recently, ut the door panels and dash are original and starting to show their age. Thanks to the rear engine, he floor is completely flat, dding valuable legroom front and rear, nd nobody will be complaining about spending an afternoon in the back seat. Gauges are sensible and basic, nd although the lens is a big cloudy after nearly 50 years, ll of them are fully functional. The original AM radio is still in the dash, nd that's a Hurst cue ball shifter atop the 4-speed manual transmission, hich makes this Corvair a blast to drive around town.

It's highly original under the hood, ut quite well maintained as well, o it starts easily and drives well thanks to a pair of carburetors that look to have been rebuilt not that long ago.
