I added a oil temp gauge and voltmeter below the ashtray. Oil temp is still there, can't tell what the guage on the right is now, but you can see it has a black bezel, the oil temp is chrome ringed. I DID NOT add that tachometer, and I had the original steering wheel and rims.

I can't be 100% sure, but I really think this was once my car. My father bought it in 1972, gave it to me in 74 and I sold it in 76 to buy a Fiat 850 spyder.

I think I’ve mentioned it, but my dad had two Corvairs and loved them. The first one was a red convertible. The second white coupe with red interior—I think he bought that one used. This was in the mid-to-late 60s and 70s.

Maybe you should buy yours back...
