My first car, rusted out completely in less than 4 years.

I had one of those - bought it new to put a 350/350 in. Used a Don Hardy kit cause the counter guy at
Motion was an a-hole!
Took delivery in Feb '74 right in the middle of the oil embargo - took real brains to pull out a 4cyl at that time!

I was living in Queens Village at the time and destroyed it on the city streets in no time!


Here's a shot the day I brought it home from Rupp in Lynbrook.

This car was given to my brother-in-law by his dad in the late 70's . it was a beat up car when he got it . he was 14 at the time and had two years before getting his license.

The car was his mothers and when she was done with it , it bacame a project for him. good way to keep your kid occupied.
He named it Second Chance.



Then years down the road my wife got it for her 18th birthday . when we met in high school in the eighties this is what it looked like and we drove it everyday back then.

+++ Al +++ It's it great going back in time, I made several mistakes along the line... One, getting married, 41 years later still paying the price for that, and secondly Buying a Corvair, the abuse I've gotten over that, just on a daily bases..you know sometimes it's my own darn fault for be so dumb,++ Getting Married that is ++ I just made it worst with that Flat 6 cyl. sitting in my garage... ++ Al ++ really enjoyed the pictures, there are so few people on this site, or any site for that matter that really care anything about are car's /// Covairs /// The price we pay just to play.....Kasey ....

Thanks

I love the old back in the day photos to see what people were driving and what they did to them.

If I decide to sell my car in the future I will let you know.
