Not sure why I wanted this one, but...
... it's sorta grown on me. My late brother had several 1:1 Corvairs back in the 70s, so maybe that's why.

I think it's nice John. I'd add it to my collection if I had the opportunity.

Got one to redo as a mid engine, what if conversion.

You know Phil, you nailed it. Some cars are worth having or wanting if only for the nostalgia they represent. The Chevy Corvair and Ford Falcon would be two examples of this. I'm not a lover of either car, but certainly would be cars that I'd add to my collection only because of their historic contribution to the auto industry.

I bought one of these a couple years ago and was kind of shocked by how much I liked it.

I would like one also for historical reasons. In addition to the Corvair I would like
The Valiant and Falcon representing the first wave of small cars, then on to the Vega, Pinto, Omni and Gremlin as kind of the next generation of import fighters.

I've also bid on a Falcon model, but didn't win it.
