A couple of minor tweaks to account for a differences in taste and this could be some major fun, depending on the amount of tune been given to an otherwise anemic (smog burdened)305.
My choice of a Corvair or a 911 with a V8 in the back seat for $15K or $12k?
It's like Christmas in … oh never mind.
Easy choice, this Corvair has a way better build quality. The Porsche is only worth it if you plan to remove all the hack jobs and even then probably not worth the time or money yet to do it right.
Very helpful article, Thank you for sharing. I love you

What IS that engine cover?? I'm thinking the next owner is going to want to get that Vintage Air installed really, really soon.
…nope, no optional side-bolsters in '68. Sweet, and sounds honest to goodness OK.
All that work and have a 305 motor It's a crying shame….Motor cover looks like a dog house from early American van maybe that was cut down ? Do like the car….
