Yes it's neat...but everything was neat.

I didn't see a single vehicle on jack stands.

Every car I saw was finished and worth $100K.

I cant even imagine the over the top HOA rules.

Some how a Corvair in a million pieces wont be welcome.

moto would just hide out in his living room peeking out the curtains to see what I was up to. he'd yell at the walls about what a horrible liberal scumbag I was. I'd look over and see him, wave and smile and the veins in his neck would pop out and steam would come out of his ears. He'd then go to his computer and fire off a plaintive email to his best friend forever Phil and cry about his horrible, horrible neighbor. Then they'd say rude things about me behind my back. I hear they like doing that.

sounds kind boring to me but then I don't really watch the reality shows so for all I know that's how they are. Except "Renovaton Realities". You ever watch that show? That's some funny stuff right there.

Rural is better than urban-suburban, when it comes to having old cars. My neighborhood is neat and tidy, but many vintage restorations within a mile of my house.
I would get thrown out of any Association, when I lift a car to full height with my loader, or rode my dirt bike on the back wheel in my back yard. The impacts and air chisels are a non-issue at my place.
Dave Motohead is welcome in my hood.

Retirement and Corvairs?

Those two just don't seem to go together to me.

Marie still calls it the original name of Cedar Farm. However, I think of the C F as Corvair Farm. GGG


It will always be our Corvair Farm to me. GGG


Tony
(Please exit the thread if you cannot add anything constructive)

(1) Marie's 1962 Convertible and our 1966 Ultravan #248 (aka Itchy Feet - Long Restoration)
(2) Our 1963 Rampside (Sold 2014) and 1967 Ultravan #256 at Upper Canada Valley car show in 2009.
(UV256 aak Itchy Feet II - corvair power plant came out 2012 - plans with donor for a GM 3.8L FWD conversion, as a gas pusher, in the back of UV256)
(3 & 4) Are some of our 11 Corvair parts cars - to help keep our stuff on the road - hopefully as long as we live. ;-)
(5) Is one of our Wayne 100 boats (Corvair powered) SOLD - August 2018
(6) Nov 14, 2012 Ultravans #362 and #512 arrived. We are getting closer to our goal of having an Ultravan museum.
We now own; UV248, UV256, UV362, UV512, and UV520 will hopefully be here July 2013.
(7) I saved Ultravan #231 from the scarp yard this year. It arrived May 9, 2013 and I plan to flip this one with a rear engine V6.
Anything is for sale at the right price.
