There is a sweet 1970 Malibu for sale out near the stables. Maroon,
looks like a stock, garaged car, soooooooo pretty...
Not to be a party pooper, but I've never understood the fascination with
these cars.
First of all, they are a dime a dozen. As a collectible, they really aren't
worth much.
Second, having driven several, they handle like crap, ride like crap and are
not particularly "fast".
To each their own, I suppose.

There is a car for everyone. Look at this Auto Group.

I may be mistaken but I think the shifter you are thinking about was a
lever on the dash. Had a friend that had a Corvair Spider, the high
performance one!!!! Hell, I think it went 75 miles an hour or so, if
you could hold it on the road! That thing was horrible. You'd go down
the road 55 miles an our or so and it was all you could do to keep it
in your lane!- Hide quoted text -

Maybe it was a comet.. .which one did Nader screw with, that was it I
think.. hey, I was probably 6-7 yo when I rode in that car but it was
push button, on the dash, that I remember clearly..

Nadar screwed with the Corvair. While Bassy was correct that the car
was very screwy at high speeds, on most Corvairs it would not show the
problem till you got over 80 mph. The Monza Spider would top out at
about 100 mph, it was turbo charged with 4 separate carburators.
