Thanks for sharing. I hadn't seen that one before. Looks quite simple.

Doesn't sound too impossible to me. Two drivers fatigued from driving on Glaring white salt all day, they probably thought they were seeing mirages. Up until the last few seconds, that is. If it happened at night, the rising heat off the salt, can cause some really weird light refractions. They could have easily thought they were seeing their own headlights bouncing off those layers of w

Hmmm. Aging gray and brushed aluminum interior, with cloth seats VS Freshened up All Black Interior with vinyl, or maybe leather seats. And it still has those convertible roof catches, and they haven't yet filled those A-Pillar voids where the Wing-Windows met the body. Unfortunately, these issues make it look like one of those one-week wonders from a low-budget reality TV show. I didn

No Frank, I haven't forgotten, and apparently you are not listening. Neither me, nor anyone else on here has advocated rolling back regulations. I simply stated that we should not be continuing to increase ever more restrictive rules, when the rest of the world is laughing in our faces, while they rake in the cash, and pump out pollutants. As for the jobs coming back? THAT AIN'T EVE

Okay, you keep spouting off about "Having worked for them, I am well aware of how they think." It doesn't take a genius to see how they think. Just look at their track record. So tell us Oh Great Pedantic One, Just exactly WHAT DID YOU DO FOR GM ? ? ? I can make great statements about having worked for some great institutions, and it would be true. BUT, that could mean I did n

Hit a bump at 170+ ! ! ! Only lost splitter, air dam, canards, and nose? He's lucky that's all that happened! At those speeds, that little Zee could have gone air-borne.

I never said that GM didn't/doesn't do things just for visual effect. I said that I didn't believe GM would spend money to hide the suspension of a bottomline car, when they didn't bother to do it on the mid and top of the line cars. I believe if you go back and reread the car magazines of the era, you will notice that the writers noted the improved high-speed handling

More suitable knob? Wouldn't keeping that one be like a tribute nod to Ken, and help this back to the original car?

Phil said, "The track will be 15 miles long and 110 feet wide...WOW!!!" Sounds impressive, but it would mean a lot more to us Plebes, if we knew what a "Normal Land Speed Track" size is?

Sadly, a lot of states seem to respect the LoOnEy state, and always quickly follow suit.

Paul you are 100% correct. I was going to state the same thing, but you beat me to it. I think it is nice looking also.

Good info there Mark. That would be expected. They already had more than they needed for the four-doors, and had to use them up. Whereas the coupe and convertible seats were much more numerous, and the plastic backs were much cheaper to make. You know The General, never spend a dime, you don't need to!
Forum: Corvair Center Forum

That is extremely presumptive mark. You have NO IDEA how much knowledge Phil has in aerodynamics. As a Land-Speed Racer, I would venture his knowledge base is FAR greater than your own. Your whimsical idea that the FACTORY INSTALLED AIR DAM on the '66 and later model being purely aesthetic, is purely pathetic. While I have never spent the money to run my car through a wind-tunnel, I can

Correct. Metal backs for the Astro-Buckets, was a '67 model year only item.

Nope. I usually have half a bazillion open myself. Constantly zipping back and forth amongst them. Oh look, a Squirrel!
Forum: Corvair Center Forum

Installing a Factory Air-dam on a car that does not have one will improve freeway handling. The deeper they reach, the better they will work. So, the S=10 one that is shown will probably be the most effective of all that are presented here. The Camaro one does look nice, and I've never thought it looked like Priapus. I didn't have any spare cash around, but I did have access to some
