Tracys' 66 turbo vert

No No No......That can't be the car.
I thought the rule was that when you dig any car out of long term storage it is somehow by a miracle is in pristine condition.
Haven't you all seen all the "Barn Finds" on e-bay recently, they all look nearly perfect.
Maybe it's got something to do with the Barn atmosphere and sitting in a Garage is something completely different.
If this one turns out anything like the other Corvair, it will be hard to beat. Have fun with it.

Have anymore pictures of that "hauler" it's riding on. Looks very intriguing. Aside from the fact that it's holding up that awesome new project vair.

That bus is friggin' COOL. Nice find on the triple vert. I have no doubt it will run like a raped ape.
