V8 Powered Mutant: 1961 Chevrolet Corvair
Is a V8 powered, front engine Corvair an abomination or an upgrade? I’m sorta torn on that question, but I guess it is better to put a Chevy V8 powering the rear wheels than a transverse Buick V6 pushing power to the front…now that would be a real weirdo. Still…I can’t help but think this thing needs some sorta pancake shaped enough hanging out back. Find this 1961 Chevrolet Corvair offered for $8,500 in Harrison, AR via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!

Plus one for matching the DT red Corvair drawing.
I think that wing is a minus one though. Now a Chaparral 2E style wing would be cool, but that butt barnacle just doesn't look right.
