I had a high impact collision in a Corvair convertible. A woman driving a 1968 Impala turned left immediately in front of me on a 45 mph road. I hit her broadside. Totaled both cars. The end result was the Corvair ended up nearly a foot shorter. Convertible top that was new and tight was now slack. Front suspension was intact, and gas tank did not rupture. Overall, it did as well as any front engine car would have in a similar collision.
The Spyder had a 150 horsepower 145 cubic inch horizontally opposed 6 cylinder turbocharged engine. The Spyder package included a brush finish instrument panel with a tachometer, head temperature gauge, and a boost indicator. They also had bucket seats in front with a 4-speed manual transmission. They had a 3-inch chrome tipped tailpipe long before they were fashionable.
The Spyder was replaced in 1965 by the Corsa. Standard engine in the Corsa was a 140 hp 164 cubic inch 6 with 4 carburetors. Optionally available was a 180 hp turbocharged engine. Corsa was discontinued after 1966. The 140 hp engine was available up to 1967. Emission regulations eliminated it for the 1968 and 1969 model years.
Ralph was a blowhard. He did not even drive. His real target was Volkswagen. Common sense dictated that it would be more credible to attack a single model rather than an entire manufacturer. So, he wrote a book about something he really knew nothing about.
