I had a 1963 Corvair Spyder. 1 barrel carb with a turbo sitting on top. Had it up to 120 mph on the highway once, and still had accelerator left. The frontend starting floating on me so that was the last time I pushed 'er that hard. I really loved that car.

I voted Corvair, and that's after owning about five of the little junkers back in the early seventies.

WAY too many mechanical problems, not to mention learning to drive white-knuckled in any bad weather, waiting for that first inkling of oversteer. Volkswagens and Porsches were easy to drive after that Corvair "training" period.

WORST problem was the heated air for the interior of the car passed over the engine first. If the engine was leaking ANY oil, and they usually did, with defrost on, this half-burnt smog was directed up onto the inside of the windshield, then into your lungs!

Hey! The ex had a' 63 Monza Spyder. It was the cutest thing, bought it used in early 70's for $100, kept it about 5 years as a work car, then sold it for $300! Not bad huh?
