Re: OPGI Catalog Delayed

Based on going through OPI's on-line catalog many of the items seem to be generic and can fit multiple parts. Clarks has Corvair specific items which is a major difference in my opinion.

Re: Right Hand Drive Conversion

Many vintage Royce’s are converted when Americans-buy them and import them into the States. I know Royce’s were built in the US I believe in Springfield but they where ma...

Re: OPGI Catalog Delayed

If you pre-order you get bombarded with their emails for their other products. IMO Wait until it happens and then request the catalog.

Re: GM Designer’s Amazing One-Off: 1968 Molzon Corvair-Porsche Special

The body is a copy of the P3/P4 sports racer and not an Alfa. This is one of the most desirable Ferrari sports racers. Very rare.
Gorgeous copy

Re: New Product: Replacement Fuse Panels! (more info)

Bucket Seat Replacement

I looking to replace the bucket seats in my 1965 Corsa convertible. Would like to get a set of later model buckets with the headrests or highbacks hopefully in red. Second choice would be an aftermarket suggestion that would fit the '65 with as little replacing items as possible. Any suggestions of ...

Re: 65 vert brakes went out

Both Clarke's and California Corvair indicate it is for '67-'69 model. Is it appropriate for a '65?

Thanks in advance.
