Don't blame me... I don't agree with including the Corvair vans and trucks in this list!

:goodpost: :woo: :fc front: :EMs Rule:

I wholeheartedly agree!! I love EM Corvairs and hope to own a Greenbrier Van or a Rampside someday. I think they look great and do not belong on this list of ugly vehicles (many of which are repulsive, I must say). The FC Corvairs are not ugly, they are unique and special. :clap: ::-):

I thought a little rebuttal to the ugly car video would be appropriate here, so I transcribed the article and converted it into .jpg images and also into an Adobe Reader (.pdf) file (attached).

The subject of this article apparently did not sell. The auction has ended, but I located the eBay listing...

Asking Price:US $21,999.99

Turns out it is only about 100 miles north of me, in Asheville, North Carolina. But I lack the cash to even consider it! :sad5:

Has anyone been able to personally look at the green ‘62 Rampy for sale on eBay? The pictures indicate it is really nice, just curious why it has not sold?

I saw it at Barrett-Jackson a few days before it sold. It was very nice but not $70K nice. Some folks with way too much money were in attendance that day.

Seller was Bryan Frank who had at least 50 other classic cars at the auction this year.
