My '69 Squareback had a Corvair motor in it while it was in possession of the PO. I never saw it run, but it was sure cool looking. I think he used a Kennedy adapter plate. My brother originally bought the car from the guy. He sold it to him minus engine/trans. I then bought it from my brother. While we're on the subject of Corvairs, I am wondering what the story is about the Type 3 Ghia and the Corvair. They seem fairly similar in style/design. Who copied who? I know the first production year for the T3 Ghia is 1961, but I've seen a 1960 prototype in Wolfsburg. When did the Corvair first hit the streets? Also, based on similarity, why didn't Ralph Nader criticize the Type 3 Ghia? Didn't it have the same swing axel design? What was different? Just wondering.
