Asked whether he thinks the 110 HP engine with the Judson supercharger is stronger than the 150 turbo engine, Marcus says he'd like to find out by running heads up with one.

The restoration, new paint and Spyder trim worked out nicely for the '64, as we can see in the pictures, right and below.

Unlike the turbo-charged 150 and 180 Corvair engines, the supercharged Miller engine makes use of a dual exhaust system.

It's a little difficult to read... the bumper sticker says, "Ralph Lied." Makes me smile.

Marcus says he at one time had the attitude that the early model (1960-'64) was the "real" Corvair, although he always loved the lines of the late model, and believes it is one of the finest looking cars ever produced.

Miller stands next to his latest Corvair project, a 1965 Corsa sport coupe with a Crown Corv-8 conversion. It's equipped with a 1969 350 cu. in., 4-bolt main bearing small-block V-8, a close ratio Saginaw trans-axle with a 4-spider rear end, and Camaro Z-28 wheels and low profile tires.

"I've driven late models with the164 CID engine," he says, "and they're lively and fun to drive, but this 350 is a neck jerker, and FAST!"
