This is not a bad one to drive around (270 MPH capable) - Hennessey Venom GT or the F5 for a little more speed (about 301 MPH)

The Chevy Corvair came in a number of varieties. All were rear engine air cooled flat 6 engines. Production started in 1959 as a 1960 model and ended in 1969.

1960 - 4 door sedan and 2 door coupe

1961 - 4 door sedan, 4 door wagon (Lakewood) , 2 door coupe - Monza model being the top model

1962 through 1964 - 4 door sedan, 4 door wagon (dropped after 1962), 2 door coupe, 2 door convertible - Monza model being the top model with the 2 door coupe and convertible available with the Spyder option (150hp turbo charged). Spyder became a model instead of an option in 1964.

1962 through 1965 Chevrolet also produced a Corvair line of trucks which included the Greenbrier Sport wagon (seating for 9), Corvan 95 (panel van), Loadside pickup, and Rampside pickup (the passenger side of the pickup bed had a gate which folded to the street to form a ramp).

1965/1966 - Body style changed with 2 door, 4 door model cars (500, Monza, and Corsa). The Corsa was either a 180hp turbo charged engine or a 140 hp, 4 carburetor engine. Trucks were discontinued after 1965.

1967 through 1969 the Corsa model was dropped and so was the turbo charger. You could still order a Monza with the 140 hp 4 carburetor engine.
I had a '63 and later a '67 with the 140. They were free giveaways from family friends who were tired of the upkeep during my high school days in the late seventies. The '63 had a four on the floor, and the '67 had the 2 -speed auto. It was actually fun.

The 2 different profile tires are interesting. Never seen something like that on a "road car".

I changed my mind, since this sold for $38 million, I would get one then sell it.

Staggered wheels are pretty common on rwd. Narrower/smaller fronts facilitate turning.

They don't look to be as durable as a UNIMOG, but would be way easier to fix in NA though...

Yeah, although apparently they don't make E-350's anymore. The Sprinter has replaced it. I drove a Sprinter at a job long past...it was actually a pretty peppy ride.

I have staggered 275/315mm tires... just never seen mixed low and regular profiles like that.

a new RAM 3500 diesel with a mega cab, larmie longhorn or limited edition.

I already have a new crew cab Ram 2500 diesel, but if I had a blank check I would go for the mega cab, which is what I should have done with my laramie longhorn.

UNIMOG Camper
Yeah, some fancy camper I suppose, including "the works." An exploring house on wheels, complete with gym, stereo, internet, bike, home theater, bath, kitchen, fridge/freezer. :)

It looks like they kept the rim to the same diameter, just went smaller profile on front. Probably narrower as well.

Better get a flatbed tow when you burn out that tire :)
