Surfing BAT this AM and found this beauty for sale: Cruising the photos found this receipt with notes at the bottom and laughed out loud.

This past Saturday I had the pleasure to meet Ken Hand in person for lunch in Ypsilanti, MI (Note the automotive heritage museum in the background). Ken and I spent literally hours on the telephone during my restoration project and to say he was a huge help is an understatement. It was great to meet him in person, he's as good of a guy as they come. After lunch we got to visit the museu

Hey all, Hope you all are doing well and staying healthy. Happy New Year! Sharing a couple of photos of a meeting between my former car and it's twin...Brad and Joe West got together before Joe sold his Spyder. Joe was an immense resource for me as I did the restoration.

Hey I hope you guys are all doing well. Hard to believe it's been a year since I sold my Corvair! I told you I was going to buy and build a car for my son who is almost 16 now. Well my wife's safety demands won out and he's now driving a 2015 Volvo S60...LOL..yawn. So that left it wide open for me to find a new project. I had not really been actively looking but in my new fo

He's the right guy for this car, owned one many years ago and wanted a perfect Spyder to enjoy and show in his area. Congrats to Brad, and thanks so much to eve

Corvair factory turbo Oil Bath setup, a dealer installed original option on Corvair Turbos from 1962-66. Extremely rare "unobtainium" kit!!! The turbo oil bath was the same on EM and LM turbos. The only difference is the mounting bracket for the oil bath, and the sticker saying 150 vs. 180HP. This kit includes an EM oil bath bracket and a 150HP sticker on the air cleaner.

Matt my hope is to see market value for the car per Hagerty's valuation tool at Concours quality, which IMO is reasonable.
