More and more I want to go back to an old air-cooled Corvair from the 1960s like my parents had.

After the Corvairs got rid of the swing axles (like a VW), all was swell.

Just helped my buddy put a new clutch in one.
Now they have modern seal materials for the engine seals you can put in (o-rings, etc) that hold up to heat well and no more leaks!

We had one - engine in the rear with a supercharger, 5 speed. Would really get up and go. Only little car I ever had and loved it. Chocolate brown with cordova tan leather upholstery. Would buy another one just like it.
