Okay...here's my Corsa which I've not entered here before.
65 Corsa 140 pretty much identical (except color)
to the one that got me into this hobby. Way back when I was a wee lad my grandmother owned a 65 Corsa 140 and that's
the car she only used on Sundays
to take us
to church and back when I was maybe 6 or 7. Even then I knew
the car was quite unusual compared
to others owned by my family and always thought that my garandmother was cool
to be different.
Fast forward
to modern day when this 54,000 original mile Corsa came my way about a year ago. Unlike my stock 66 Corsa, this 65 had all of
the sounds, smells and feelings I remembered from being in a Corvair on Sunday mornings
with my grandmother.
I've cleaned it up quite a bit since I got it. I replaced a bad flywheel and painted up
the engine and and trunk area while I had it apart. I also did a full brake sysetm rebuild. I wasn't sure about
the body color but quickly have grown fond of it. I love
the salt-n-pepper interior. I'm trying
to keep it mostly stock but recently found some BBS rims and rubber that look quite pleasing
to me.
The old 13" white walls were 12 years old and probably not safe for
the road.
I also was featured
with this car and my 65 sedan in
the Wall Street Journal last year.

Here are a few pics including one I really like from last Saturday at
the club picnic in front of
the scenic Superstition Mountains.
