Tcoat, I know you're a few years wiser than me, and as much as I did see a few Corvairs on the road years ago I wondered was the rear engine layout so great or is it just the rarity?
The post 64s were a great car. How can you go wrong with a rear mounted boxer 6? Unfortunately they were a bit ahead of what the American public was looking for. Didn't help that they also came out at the very start of the pony/muscle car era. I loved my 66 and have been knocking around the idea of getting another for a fun weekend cruiser. There is a thread on it here someplace.

Nader talked about the first gen and even his statements on those were debunked years later.
