Only a Corvair freak...

CORRECT! One down, several to go. We actually have a couple of bone stock Corvair rampside pickups. Nice things.

I'll pick off a couple and leave some for others.

Your Ranchero is a "home built", using Edsel wagon quarters. Despite "urban legend" Ford did not produce Edsel rancheros.

The others are pretty easy, although the red rig does have the non-factory "aero" kit. It might be fun to see how many people know what it's most unique feature was (moreso than the obvious powertrain).

Correct on the Ranchero, Bob.

As for the red rig, are you talking about the Corvair?

The primer beast looks like an Edsel with '59 Chevy taillights.

The pink one is a mid 60's chevy full size. I recognize by the "cats eye" tails.

Red and white is a Corvair pickup.

Green one I dunno. Not much into heavy trucks but the engine layout looks interesting.

Abe

As for "Cats eye" tails, it has them, but look at the front end. Did Chevy ever make a toilet seat?

Right on the corvair pickup, it's called the "Corphibian"

One of my projects is a '62 Monza coupe, 4 speed, wild carbs and exhaust....cool stuff.

You saw through those taillights into the real beast. You got it.

Looks like two 348's with joined cranks....like a "siamese" V16.

Looks like an AMC. maybe a Marlin.

At least you recognized it was a COE. I thought it had already been established it was NOT a 348. Or a 696, for that matter.

still not bad for 29 though???

If you're talking about this one, you're wrong. Try again.

As for a Marlin, here's what one looks like.

Okay Matthew, if you're going to be a smarta@@. That'll teach me to try being a "nice guy" and just giving a little info.

The engine you pictured is for the 7000 series trucks, it is technically a V12, though made from parts of two V6's, GM called it a Twin 6. It is based on the 305 V6 (so shoot me for 1 cubic inch). It is rated at 702 cubic inches, 250 n/hp, 585# n/torque.

The V6's also came in 351, 379, 401, 432, & 478 ci.

Lets see here. The Edchero, Edsled, and Corphibian are all done. That leaves the Big COE and the Wagon. Guess away. And Madgrinder, you did do good. You have 10 years on me, but I grew up around these cars.

And here's a pic I found.
