My first was a '63 Corvair Monza Convertible (Christine) White over Aqua. It only had the 102HP engine, but I could make it go
You could still get leaded Hi Test gas back then! She was more stable at 70 than at 30 due to the flat floor pan under the car (like a LeMans racer of the period)
The two best things about her were the looks people gave me as I flew by with the top down and pulling into a NJ gas station and watching the attendant try to figure out where the fuel filler was... I also had fun doing that with the '57 Chevy.
I was very sad when the cancer took her from me.
How many belts did your Spyder throw? I just kept at least two in the trunk at all times.
