Buying a car like that on time payments gives you the opportunity to revisit your mistakes every month.

What is a duntov engine? Is it just an innovative way of saying flat six? Looks like a regular Corvair six to me. And yes, I would love to have this car as well.

A neighbor I suppose. I don’t recall seeing it on the road. Looks good for the asking price.

...down hill with a strong tailwind?
No, on a relatively flat two lane country road. Of course I cannot vouch for the accuracy of the speedometer.

When I had just started driving in 1966 my Dad had one exactly like that except it was a dark green color. He only had it a few years and I don’t remember if he killed the engine like so many others or what. I drove it on Saturdays to take my Mom on her weekly grocery trip.(A job my Dad hated to do). One early Saturday morning I did find out it would do 98 MPH but like many things, that is another story.

Other than an occasional spot the last time I used POR-15 was about 20 years ago. I followed the directions exactly and haven’t Seen any recurring rust. My cars live in the garage so unless I am driving one they get minimal direct sun. In other areas I had success removing wet POR-15 using regular lacquer thinner. Just don’t wait too long. And I have a quart that I bought maybe 10 years ago that I used part of. I followed the suggestion of placing a piece of plastic wrap between the lid and the can when I closed it up and when shaken now long ago the can sloshed. When I watched the video I posted I was surprised to see that POR-15 did not do as well as I would have thought. I had read that the company changed hands several years ago and the formula was cheapened down. My days doing big rust projects are in the past so this is academic to me now.

I would love to have a car like that. If I could get out of it after getting in. I assume not a crazy price on this one?

This You Tube channel did a comprehensive test on rust prevention paints. Maybe it will help you decide.

As with bacon I am also one of the only Americans who don’t like convertibles. So I will pass despite the enormous opportunity it offers.

Patina. That’s spelled rust.

I live near Kenosha where they were made and I never remember seeing very many of them. This one looks good from the photos and despite needing a good cleaning(and a little less fixation on a long gone TV show) it could be a lot of fun.

Back in the late 60’s I had a friend with an early 60’s Comet(?) with a 221 and automatic. It ran well and was good on gas but as my late Sainted Mother would have said”Slow as the itch”

Scant information. Does it run? Why are people so lazy about listings?
I think many of them really have no clue what folks who really shop for old cars are looking at when they do. Modern car shoppers seem to look for a pretty vehicle with all kinds of electronics. Maybe the sellers think a nice picture and of course at least some modernization is all that’s required. And of course converted to 12 volts.😹

As stated, pretty but overpriced.

Well sixes are my favorite and both my old cars are sixes. One three speed manual and one torqueflite. I loved big eights in my youth but now they are ok as long as I don’t have to pay the costs involved.

Yeah except that is not my quote. It was me quoting Larry Schramm. I tend to agree with 7th Son

I personally like the round abouts. They keep traffic moving. The one caveat is the number of persons that have no idea how to approach them and drive through them. It makes you wonder if they can drive normally.
And inevitably those who play “chicken” like on other roads.

I am too but maybe not that one at that price point.
