A Chevrolet car produced in the 60's that had a rear air cooled engine. Ralph Nader became famous for having it removed from the market as being dangerous.
My Classic Car - 1997 V8 Corvairs was released on: USA: 8 March 2014

Under extreme conditions they handled poorly, otherwise they were pretty good. They were air cooled, no anti-freeze to worry about. The engine sat over the drive wheels, good traction in snow.
Type your answer here... the single most dangerous car ever manufactured Not really, the Pinto was more dangerous. It was an air cooled, flat six cylinder, rear engine, compact car built by Chevrolet from 1960 to 1969.
You have three options here. 1. The Cheap But Difficult Option - You fabricate all the needed parts yourself, including modifications to the Beetle. This is time consuming and requires intimate knowledge of Beetles, Corvairs, and mechanics in general. 2. The Expensive And Not As Difficult Option - Get a conversion kit. Search for one on Google or look in a VW magazine. You will still need a little knowledge of Beetles and Corvairs, and a lot of general mechanical know how. 3. The Really Expensive And Super Easy Option - Pay a professional to do it. There Are several shops able to do such conversions, but be warned that they are not even close to cheap, reasonable, or sane.
