I bought this built-up at NNL East this year from the widow of the builder. The design intrigued me. It is a first series Corvair with the custom roof from the 69 Corvair. It had the ’69 interior and chassis and a V8 engine. I replaced the interior with a narrowed ’69 tub using the builder’s seats. The chassis was also replaced, and the engine is a resin cast from the Astro 1. The grill is Datsun but I have no idea where the rear clip is from. I also made new glass but kept the wheels and tires. I tried to stay true to the builder’s vision but did remove the wipers and door handles. I changed the colour too from red to silver. A fun project and nice to have a survivor from some unknown builder.
