<VV> Mecum Monterey - 63 Vair

[Harry Yarnell]

I think you're reading this too seriously. If anything, there should be a
comma between inspired and 2.4.
The only thing 'inspired' is the flat air cooled engine concept....and isn't
the corvair 2.7L?

The listing for the '63 Corvair at Mecum mentions:
 
< its Porsche-inspired 2.4 liter flat 6 engine>
 
Correct me if I'm mistaken, but weren't Porsches making do with a  
VW-inspired four in '63 and didn't have flat sixes until the 911 which was  
introduced in '65 so, technically, wasn't it the '65 and later Porsches that
had  a 
Corvair-inspired flat six engine and not vice-versa?
