Inc. 52 x 48 prop that I decided not to use, (due to the fact that I added a PSRU and can use a longer prop). Therefore, it is for sale for only $250.00 with spinner! However, it is made to turn clockwise and therefore won't work with a VW. But it will work with a Corvair if you buy a new cam from Wynne. I think it is a good deal since I paid $330...and I'm throwing the spinner in for free.

While it's true that Corvairs and VWs rotate opposite to each other, the Corvair is mounted backwards from a VW (so that the prop is connected to the flywheel, rather than the pulley end of the crank), so they use the SAME sort of "backwards" propeller.

Some sand dragsters do it to enable them to use VW transaxles without flipping the ring gear, but it's not entirely trivial, and not something I'd want to do in an airplane engine. Especially just to use a certain propeller!
