1964 Chevrolet Corvair. Purchased used in 1971. Same color/body style as picture. It was GM's answer to VW/Porsche. Air cooled flat 6 cylinder engine in the rear. About 2.7 liters/85hp. Could be had with a 3 speed stick, 4 speed stick, or 2 speed automatic. Mine was a 3 speed stick. Also had same rear "swing axle" design as VW/Porsche which was changed to a fully independent rear suspension in 1965.

Drove it hard for about 2 years until the engine said "no more"  :o

I had an old Corvair as sort of a one day loaner once from a place I worked. Boss warned me I was to only drive it home and back to work the next morning. Of course, I took it out for a cruise that night. A couple of miles outside town, one of the front wheels fell off.  :palm:
