Except the Corvair had sleeker lines !

Problem was that "sleek" wasn't what sold.

The Camaro had an accentuated "Coke bottle" shape, shorter rear section,
with longer nose.

Corvair could shorten the rear section though, due to the engine.

Interesting that the Camaro's emphasis was on the powerful rear of the
car, when the engine was on the other engine, connected by a big hunk of
pipe.

I guess the pipe was to absorb all that power before it got to the
wheels ?

Just a thought.  I had a 68 Camaro RS coupe, when I drove a friend's
Corsa, and that's was all I needed to convert to Corvair.

If you want to go in a straight line, Camaro was the car for you ...

Charlie

When I had my corvair painted, to save on cost I removed all trim,
interior and bumpers. Someone with a 67 Camaro (the first year) had
thier car in the shop in the same state. They were near twins
