Sometimes you find a project car that grabs your attention and might make you get a bit excited but that isn’t a good choice to actually save. Having just come from a big auction of Tri-Five Chevrolets and subsequent parts, I can tell you that despite wanting to take home all the potential projects, it wouldn’t have been smart to do so. But sometimes it is really hard to know which project is good or bad and which one is the best for you. So with that said, is this Corvair right here a good one?
Tommy Lee Byrd, the Hot Rod Hoarder, is checking this one out and you can see for yourself what kind of condition it is in. Take a guess from the featured image above as to whether or not you think this one is good and then watch the video to find out.
In the comments section below let us know what you thought before the video, and after watching it!
Video Description:
The Chevrolet Corvair is an interesting car that was Chevy’s first attempt at a compact car. It was also the first attempt at a rear engine car. And the first attempt at an air cooled car. And the first attempt at a horizontally opposed “flat 6” engine. This 1966 Chevrolet Corvair Corsa is a buildable car that my dad bought. The engine is seized, there are some rusty spots and the windshield is busted…is it worth saving or should we just move on?
