As you would expect, it drives like new. Options include an AM/FM radio, wood steering wheel,and, of course, the turbocharged engine. Corvairs, in general, are well supported.
Parts and reproductions are readily available from Clark's Corvair Parts and others.
It has a few flaws. See the last 3 pictures. There is a small dent on top of the driver's side front fender.
A small crack and a paint bubble below it can be found below the
passenger's side windshield. The silver paint in the rear cove is starting to craze.
Also, it has some small paint chips.
All in all, this is as nice of a convertible Corvair as you are likely to find. It can't be duplicated at this price.
