Dale Tester - Naples, Florida
Searched the "driest" place in the US and found a 1965 Corvair Corsa for sale in Golden Valley AZ. After a couple of months and over 45 photos, we struck a deal. Then the fun began shipping to the "wettest' place in the US. (at least I think so)
So the buying frenzy started with 5.3L compete drop-out, rebuilt Saginaw 4sp and C5 also a complete drop-out. Still buying the rest of the body parts that were cooked in the AZ desert and will be until the chassis is built. (rubber, body seals & interior)
It currently is on a rotisserie being stripped down to find any damage to the body. (lot of dents.. no rust)
The C5 cradle alteration and purchase of adapter kits were obtained from fellow member Robert Depalo.
So I'm now in the stage of waiting on retirement and slowly making it happen. As many folks have said; "life got in the way". Making it happen is life.
