I would hardly call the Corvair rare, they built 1.9 million of them, many of
which are still around. Sure real Yenkos are fairly rare but it's not that hard
to build a Yenko from a regular Corvair, in fact Yenko conversions are legal in
road racing. Because of the Corvair Society of America and the efforts of
businesses like Clark's Corvair Parts and Corvair Underground cars and parts
are both easy to come by. IMHO the Corvair is just the type of car SM needs and
not at all a "rare" car.
