Corvair shifter . . .

I like that shifter.

Sort of thing you could build into the front of the seat base.

What, something like this: I dunno, some goofy gearhead probably did it once upon a time.

 

[AusBucket]

;-)) Knew someone on here had done it, was a while back I saw the pic.

It takes IMAGINATION to build instead of buying to get what you want.

From what I can remember, weren't Corvair's known for having a really bad oversteer problem...a challenge to drive? I always thought the rear engine belt system was a fascinating feature of the car.

I think the models thru 1964 could have had problems; the swing-axle rear end was bad about sharp turns. But the 1965 and later models had a version of the Corvette IRS and handled great. I had one.

Don’t channel the body over the frame, and gain 3-4” of interior height!

I had a 65. Great car and steered perfectly.

My friend had a 64 that was on a ‘66 chevelle frame, front engine, ran 10 second quarter miles... Not sure about cornering.
