Not so bad for a first timer..... You got some nice shots of the ground and your feet....even a nice shot of your shadow swiggin' a cold beverage! It sounds pretty good. A couple of pointers if you don't mind..... turn the phone on it's side to shoot for a wider picture and point it at the car instead of the ground. It runs! That's exciting! Does this mean the '34 Plymouth is off the table now?

the plymouth was off the table as soon as i found out it was plymouth!!!! i dont drink? so no beverage there for me. maybe my soda can. this phone is broken for some reason it does not do sideways video. used to what happens after u drop em 100 times

i was mainly going for the sound

It sounds pretty good, and from what we can see, looks not too bad, either, in my opinion. I wouldn't mind having another 'Vair just for s's and g's.

Post some whole car shots or still photos. Cool sounding car for sure. Good zooms of the tennis shoes!

I had a Spider back in 64 real fun car

heres a couple.

today i got most of the lights working and got rid of that forsaken awful tape on the headlights crap and put the headlight buckets back in. shes got all the lights on the outside, even the dome light! just need to tinker with dash lights and stuff. gonna drive her to school next week oughta be fun haha

Wow the body looks nice and straight! No airbourne misshaps! Nice find. We have a pretty big club in this area of corvair owners. I see two of them, both convertibles, always out in front of a guys house with for sale signs, but have never stopped to check the price, since they've been there for years. Both have new paint.

its straight ish, but it definatley needs some body work

I've always had good luck with the 140's. There are a lot of aftermarket parts still available as they were the engine of choice for the sand car crowd for years. I still have a 140 engine and crown reverse turning kit for it. Kennedy adapters made an adapter that would hang that engine off the back of a vw bus trans-axle. It made for a great marriage as long as you were rolling before you jumped on it. And never, never, get rough in reverse! Ah, the old memory's. Enjoy your ride, there is a lot to work with there and they are a much better car than most gave them credit for.

The Vair sure sounds nice and it is in pretty nice shape too! How'd the drive to school go?
