So we  know that at least during 2
separate time periods, there were one or more  Corvairs around the Porsche's
complex in Stuttgart.

There was also an EM station wagon.  A long time friend, Rainer  Wetzling, 
was a student in the Porsche mechanics school in '61 or '62 when one  of the 
engineering staff drove up in a Corvair station wagon with the new 911  
engine installed.  He said it wasn't an official mule as Porsche wouldn't  use 
a Chevrolet officially, but that the staff engineers used the  wagon as 
cover for real world testing.  Rainer was a straight shooter who  liked Corvairs 
even before he emigrated from Germany to the US so I place a lot  of trust 
in his story.
