The listing for the '63 Corvair at Mecum mentions:

< its Porsche-inspired 2.4 liter flat 6 engine>

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but weren't Porsches making do with a
VW-inspired four in '63 and didn't have flat sixes until the 911 which was
introduced in '65 so, technically, wasn't it the '65 and later Porsches that 
had  a
Corvair-inspired flat six engine and not vice-versa?
