I am the new owner of this car. I started driving Corvairs in 1968! Had quite a few and always wanted to build a Corv8. Fast forward to 1975... got out of the Army and bought several more Corsairs, had the suspension kit and a 327/365 motor that had one wrong cylinder head. Bought the Crown manual (and still have it all these years later) and planned to build one. For whatever reason at the time sold the Vairs and started buying other cars. Lots of 442's, GTO's Firebirds, etc. I currently have a 65 GTO convertible Tri-Power 4 speed car (not original) but updated with 4 wheel discs, tubular suspension, etc. Also have a nice 67 Cutlass Supreme convertible with a LS3/4LE85, Ford 9", lots of good parts.
I have been looking at Corv8's for a seemingly years, bought it for what I think is a fair price, and am arranging shipping now.
I will likely have a zillion questions as I get into this, hopefully all major parts are good and hope to get this moving under it's own power shortly.
Also have to mention Charlie has been great to deal with through this process, and hope I can contribute to this forum. I need to poke around here some more, curious if there are any cars in the northern Alabama/Nashville/Atlanta area?
