That is a relatively recent Ohio plate on the front. This may imply that it was run recently.

Way cool. Now if only I didn't have an Ecotec plotting my wallet's demise......

The rust scares me.......and the fact corvairs suck in the snow rules me out here.

And Rx, thats why I got rid of my ecotec......so that my wallet would be full for fun things.

In reply to yamaha:

What do mean "sucks in the snow"? Corvairs are some of the best vehicles in the snow.

As for the ad, the seller must not know Corvairs.

Ok, decent in flat snow.......not the 4-5ft windblown drifts we get here every winter....

Cool. I didn't know a Corvair wagon even existed. Another car to add to my "station wagon museum"...

Do you know how to read my next post farther down?......considering every winter here, drifting snow is the norm, and I've never driven one in the snow....when I was little my grandpa had a '66, and thought the same way as you guys......until he ended up with the front sitting on a drift. Hence my comment.
