that one was posted on one of the corvair sites for about a week and everybody either loved it or hated it, no middle ground. Sure its weird but somebody spent lots of time building it and even if you don't like the look you have to apreciate the guys handi work, its all metal!

I find it interesting, sort of a Barris custom gone wrong! I'd love to see it in 1 color.

I think it is pretty cool. Wonder how much the guy wants for it? It was $1250 last time I looked and the reserve was not met.
