1970's car advert
I would say that the attraction is the "boomers" that had them when
they were a kind in high school. Of course they were a "Dime-a-dozen" and were "disposable. If you wadded one up, you got another etc. But now the "kids" of the day have the big bucks and will want to find one "just like they used to have" And are willing to pay for it.

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. Eisboch |

Look at this Auto Group. http://www.corvair.org/ It seems that I remember that there was a turbo Corvair. Had a friend in high school who was given one on her birthday. She loved it. Unfortunately, her boyfriend was a Ford guy. :) Yup, the Corvair Monza Spider. That's it - I just asked the person who owned it. :) |

Lots of the sand rails used to use them. When I first moved into this house, young guy down the street had a beetle that he had a 350 Chevy in the back seat. Mid engined. Only problem was getting enough cooling air to the radiator in the VW's belly pan. |

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! |
