Hello from South Florida
Hello from South Florida
Hello,
I am new to this forum but not new to Corvairs. In fact, I was brought home from the hospital when I was born in a 64 coupe! Anyhow, I'm down to one Corvair now. My father bought it new - a 1968 Monza coupe with a 140, HD suspension, quick steer and telescopic wheel. I am in restore mode now. Should be ready for paint in a couple of weeks.

Re: Hello from South Florida
I looked at some Yenko lids but they were out of my budget! The Palomino Ivory is the original color of the car. I decided on the Yenko stripes because I always liked the way they looked.
Re: Hello from South Florida
I like that you did the stripes in black too. It's different.

Re: Hello from South Florida
Thanks - I looked up the color on the web and found some Camaros and Chevelles with the Palomino Ivory with black stripes and liked the combo. The black has a hint of pearl in it so it looks kinda cool in the sun.Scott Howey wrote:I like that you did the stripes in black too. It's different.
