More pics of my 66 corsa turbo

Post by crogers »

This car is my baby,it was the first car I bought with my own money.after owning it for 4 yrs a coworker offered more money than I paid for it and I took it. I soon regretted selling it.around 17 years went by and he called me one day (2 yrs ago now)and asked if I wanted to buy it back,I said yes.when it arrived on the trailer it felt like I was seeing a long lost family member again. I've been a corvair owner since I was 12 and I'm now 43 I've gone through about 37 corvairs and still own 7,they are just in my blood!!thanks guys!the pic on the corvair of the year voting was taken at the old ford plant on Richmond,California. It would be awesome to win corvair of the year but all the cars are so nice! Fingers crossed!haha!

Love the car, and the photos you took. I just had to play with them a bit to see what some computer photo editing could do to possibly bring out some detail, color, etc. Here is a quick effort... I hope you don't mind.
