I don't believe that drivers seat will provide miles of comfort.

I always admire to see a piece of machinery that outlives decades younger siblings, but I think the carburated engine on this coach is going to be main draw.
Still can admire the care taken on coach.
Is it me or the coach has trailer wheels on it?

And me not winning 1.5 billion on last night's powerball lottery is now 'ancient history.' ๐Ÿ˜ž

There is a decent looking Greenbriar for sale not far from here. Some guys (not me)are passionate about them.

Right now we're in Mesquite NV for the annual car show. Two years ago there were two of the Corvair RV's here. You could walk through both of them.

Very fun to see, and a interesting concept. No doubt under-powered, but many were back then.

I hope at least one of them is here again this year.
Sold the house, retired, and full timing. 15 years of dreams come true!

Encountered a Rally of over 100 of them at KY Horse Park CG a few years ago. Most were lovingly restored and looked new, or better. Just think what current better technology could do. A 20-24 foot pusher could attract a lot of "downsizers".

Very cool. They made almost any kind of vehicle based on the corvair.

I have never seen on of these before. Kinda Kool! My folks had a Corvair 4 door sedan for a short while. It wasn't Kool. Have a look at the website below:

One sat for several years in the early 2000's along US35 between Jackson and Gallipolis OH. Looked rather rough though.
