<VV> Vent-less side doors-Buy a Camaro ?!?!?!?!?!?!

[Charlie]

A lot more trouble to put the engine where it belongs, make it look as good
as a Corvair (the Camaro is too stubby in the back, like a Corvair that got
rear-ended), and even harder to make it handle like a Corvair.

Otherwise, sure just buy a Chevy Mustang ...

If it works for you, go ahead, I had several '68 Camaro coupes and a
convertible, and I've rented about a dozen 2014 coupes and convertibles, and
wouldn't trade one of them for any Corvair, especially any later model, even
a 500!

In 1968, I had a new Mustang on order (that's how young and stupid I was),
when I drove my buddy's Corsa 140.  I cancelled the Mustang (one angry
salesman, long story), and bought a '65 Corsa convertible with the down
payment, and have had about 1000+ Corvairs since.  I have 3 now and building
back up to my glory days!

Matt [ Junky] in Utah told us;




"Ok here is the deal on the orange car, it is owned by a gentleman named 
Rick who lives in Cedar City, UT. This guy is quite possibly the nicest guy 
on the planet, he has spent his whole life doing upholstery on other peoples

expensive hot rods, has an eye for detail and style, and now finally has 
started working on something for him.

This beautiful orange car when examined in person is literally flawless. He 
explained everything that he did to make the Camaro windows work, this is 
not a bolt in job. He says that he has hundreds of hours grinding and 
fitting the glass, changing the rear quarter windows geometry, and then 
building filler strips to make up the angle difference. Everything is hand 
made and fit with a jewelers craftmanship.

One of my buddies speculated that this would be between a $4000 or $5000 
conversion if you paid someone to do the work."
