This van rolls on Hankook Optimo 724 radials, size 205/75R14 at every corner. Each tire is mounted on a new American Racing Torque Thrust five-spoke wheel. The wheels and tires are all in very good shape. This van rides a 95-inch wheelbase and a 4600 GVWR. Out back, beneath the cargo cover is a 145 CID air-cooled, flat six-cylinder engine. The motor is backed by a Powerglide, two-speed automatic transmission and 3.89:1 final drive. The Corvair’s rear-engine facilitated several design objectives, such as helping to balance fore-aft weight distribution and assure excellent rear wheel traction. With removable panels over the engine and transmission/transaxle, the powertrain could be fully accessed from above and below.
