Dont act disappointes with the 95hp 3 speed....there arent that many out there and in my opinion the 95hp breathes the best at 0 to 55 mph og all the corvair engines. By that I mean its most likely the fastest 0 to 55 of all the corvair engines. You are aware that the 180 hp turbo engine uses the 95hp heads? The three speed has a very good torque/acceleration curve for transmitting power to the wheels. I am currently preparing a 69 500 with a 95hp 3 speed to use as an autocross car for these very reasons. Keep the 500 as it is....enjoy the comfort of the bench seat....it looks to be in good shape....enjoy it! If u want a Corsa or Monza there are lots out there for cheap...trust me I know

I love this corvair. I've always thought that the 500's were pretty cool with the bench seat in front. What I think you should do is drop a 110 or 140 in it, and get a mean looking paint job with some rally stripes. Then paint the inside metal the same color as the body, but that is if you do it. Love it though! Check out my Corvair!

Sweet looking ride. I would be hesitant in making any permanent changes to your car. A lot of 500's have been cannibalized to restore Corsa's and even Monza's. The result is that there are very few 500's left, and their value is increasing. The fact that it has no options, I think makes it even more valuable. Check out my 65 Crown V8 when you get a chance.
