Lee- I think you are right. It looks like you can see a little sunlight peeking though around the horse collar. You'd only see that if the rear bulkhead was removed. Dave

Not mine but could be yours! Copied from ad: 1965 Corvair Monza Body virtually rust free Car has been in storage Car has no motor Has front disc brake package Email if you want to see more pictures $1000 Firm Not sure what is going on with the angle iron bracing in the engine bay, though my guess is that it is supporting the transaxle since there is no engine.

In the pic above, and in the one of the Hugger Orange car, it appears that rear vertical edge of the door window does not quite match the contour of the quarter window. Is this an optical illusion? Are these pre-production prototypes? It just does not look quite right. Dave

Actually, the Corvair came off pretty well in comparison to the Pinto: "The centerpiece of the museum, its Venus de Milo, is a pristine 1963 Corvair, a fetching tomato-soup red, truly a thing of beauty — even Nader concedes “it’s one of the prettiest cars ever designed” — if it weren’t such a highly documented, frequently litigated implement of destruction." vs. &qu

Jim- Looks like your idea was discussed several year ago - see BTW, I recall others (aeroned?) saying that the area at the base of the rear window was a low pressure area. Would this mean that air from the engine compartment would be sucked out from there? Or is this negated by the fan? Would it be more efficient to use Yenko flaps (or a scoop) as the location for your cold air source,

I think Dave is right - the body tag indicates P-P, which is the paint code for Evening Orchid. Also, I find it interesting that the body tag indicates this car was built one week earlier than mine (eBay EO Turbo on top, my EO 140 on bottom). Dave

Thanks for all of the input. I ended up getting the EverStart Maxx battery from Wal-Mart since they were open today (Memorial Day). Dave

The original battery in our five-year-old van won't hold a charge so I need to get a new one. Any recommendations on decent batteries, or ones to avoid? Thanks, Dave

Jacob- This article might give you some inspiration: One thing that caught my eye was the rod/stroke ratio. According to the Stan Weiss site - - the stock rod / stroke ration is 1.7529:1, which indicates the Buick 3.8L engine can rev (think of the old Chevy 327 ). The stroker motor in the article brings the ratio down only slightly to 1.74:1. This looks to be a good platform. Dave
