I used to have a really clean Vair convertible I picked up for Challenge money. It's the one project I regret letting go.

I wanna try again.

I'm looking for a straight rust-free 2nd gen roller with a decent interior at Challenge pricing. Don't care if it runs, or even if it has a motor or trans.

If anyone sees one, keep me posted.

Thanks!

Check the rest of the group that one above was posted in. There are a few sub 2k LM convertibles on there right now. https://www.facebook.com/groups/Corvairtraders/

There is no such thing as a rust free Corvair convertible for challenge money.

I had one.

Factory power top in excellent condition with a near perfect interior. It was in full primer- needed paint. I drove it home the day I bought it.

May as well start looking for Shelby's for challenge money.

So, rather than one of the stiffest bodied convertibles (early vair), you want one of the most flexible (late vair)? And that’s before the rust.

A 6 point cage would be highly suggested.

Yup.

My project will involve plenty of structural change.

I’m not worried about rigidity. It’s just a body to me. Other than the looks, there won’t be much Corvair left when I’m done with it.
