The Corvair got a bad rap as a particular target of Ralph Nader's book "Unsafe at Any Speed." Nader's damning influence, no doubt, had a lot to do with the the Corvair's relative affordability today. Later models, which have nicer styling and improved rear suspension, are considered especially desirable. Of course, that also makes them more expensive. One real plus of owning a Corvair is the large and active owner community that has grown around the car, said Falcione.
A 1969 Corvair convertible, described as "not perfect but a nice driver," is being offered on ClassicCars.com for $4,200.
