I like it but not enough to even think about the asking price.

Leaning toward hatred myself. That style Corvair is a pretty neat looking car, those hokey headlights ruin it.

The headlights had me at "dislike". The hood paint and multi-color interior took me straight to "hate".

I like the green, don't like the roof colour, interior might be OK, lights look stupid.

My guess was Chevy Celeb and pointed effectively straight to the ground.

The rear lights have promise in theory but not in execution.

More Pontiac Astre-like could have worked.

I have seen way worse, but yeah, I dont like that one very much. If someone else likes it good for them, I dont think id want it even if it was free though.

Hate it.

This on the other hand...

Not really related to the original car but I was looking for pictures of metal flake roofs done right and this just looks awesome.

Another hate it here. I really like Corvairs and that really ruins it for me.

I love the 1965 period correct paint, I hate the idea that someone thionks it's worth $10,000.

It's just missing gold Daytons, blue dingle-balls on the interior, and air bags. Add those, cut the price to $2500 and I'd be on my way! 8)

I really like 2nd gen. Corvairs, but you would have to pay ME, a truely huge sum of money to take this one off your hands,

The color and roof "treatment" would be the first to go. And if you want it to look like a Pontiac (Firebird?), don't cut the front bumper to make it look (vaguely?) like a Camaro.
