WetWesties member Vern is currently doing a Corvair conversion. It is
about the sweetest conversion I've ever seen. Seeing as Vern (who's
retired) has never not owned a Corvair, he does have access to tools,
parts and expertise that we mortals can only dream of.  I've been on
his donkey for a couple years to put together a website, but so far,
if you want to see it, you have to go to Bend, OR.

I've not seen the referenced Westy up close, but I have seen Vern's.
To be more special, the referenced one would have to be pretty unique.
Vern's is. (You ever heard of a Corvair 5 speed? Me either.  I've seen
one though. In Vern's ASI.)
