Very strange. The Corvair was Chevy's failed attempt to offer a US alternative the strange and rapidly multiplying VW Beetle. It was so poorly engineered it flipped and killed lots of people, including two I knew in high school. It gave Ralph Nader his start as a consumer activist, the subject of his book "Unsafe At Any Speed" As an engine, if I recall correctly, it fried valves frequently or had another fatal defect. Strange to have one running, let alone in a VW. Halloween is over isn't it?
