A true junk yard dog, he was chained to the front bumper of an old Chevy Step Van. He was guarding those 2 old donor Corvairs. Really he just sat there and watched.

Nice job you guys! Good to see an old 'Vair saved. Cool that you found a source for parts, too. Growing up in Milford MI, one of the kids had Corsa #1. At that time it was a weird pink car - now, if it could be found it would be a worth a fortune.

Is it an auto? I didn't see the little stick in the floor.
