Had a couple years back- swingaxle "64 or such for girlfriend with automatic transmission and a later independant axle 4 speed- decent enough utitly cars. Also had a 66 VW beetle before so rear end corner twitch was not a problem. Girlfriend front end rot meant sell for parts to rebuilder that liked the shape of drive train, 67 sold to another worker and his wife sort of liked it until burnt out clutch. Oil leaks can be handled some with special spring loaded 2 piece pushrod tubes and thick neoprene valvecover and pan gaskets, sealer around cyclinder base. Unibody at the time didn"t handle Chicago winter salt- germany may be easier on them. Corvairs in Europe were in late 60s, early 70s transported by military personel as private vehicles and the Germans sometimes had them brought over as alternative to VW and Porsches- the handling with a transverse leaf spring improved and the 4 barrel kit like I had meant a bit better drag times- and cost was less than a hot Porsche while being able to fit 4 people inside. Ralph Nader"s book picked on early models and was somewhat justified- but military M151 A1, A2 had same type rear suspension and flip overs also that were reduced in A3 trailing arm independant rears about same as Corvair and later than 1969(?) VWs. Engine hop up parts from the offroad racer crowd have been available for years- getting a bit harder to find, but like Beetle engine type 1 parts are out there yet. Price is up to you. RN

For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
