    Somewhat rough, but it's got the right equipment - 215 aluminum V8 with a 4-barrel.

    Also, what's up with the three-piece glass in the hatch? Does the center roll down?

    Yes, the center piece rolls down and the side pieces remain fixed. We had power rear window on our 63 F85. It rolled down but only to where about 3-4 inches glass was still visible.

    And "naughty" to The Premier for calling this timeless Classic the UD word! :naughty:

    Interesting car, and a very rare little wagon, too. Hard to believe that this is really a Corvair under the skin, but it is. Well, the platform is, anyway.

    Nothing wrong with having a Corvair under the skin, as long as there's no Corvair engine placed behind the rear axle. Pontiac did it best with dividing the weight properly. Something Olds should have done with the Toronado
