    Nice wagon I wouldn't mind owning....

    I've been following a You Tube channel, Matt's Off-Road Recovery, located in the town of Hurricane, Utah. He's a big Jeep guy, but right now he's building a 'slightly modified' Chevy Corvair wagon to use as an off-road recovery vehicle. It's now 4WD, with a 5.3L Chevy LS in the front. He just got the engine in the car and running the other day....

    Nice little wagon. Appreciate that the restorer installed tires with some sidewall on them. Not a fan of low profile rubber band looking tires on older cars. Come to think of it I don't care for them much on new vehicles either.

    One nice touch on this one was the installation of an instrument bezel assembly from a Corvair Spyder, with tachometer and everything. The standard bezel would just have a horizontal speedometer and some warning lights. The Spyder bezel looks a lot cooler, too.....

    [​IMG]Saw this on Facebook last night. A guy saw this corvair on a trailer in Detroit. I said it looked familiar. [​IMG]
