FNG and his rides

[TonyL]

Nice Vair! Thought about going the stinger route myself, but decided to go a whole different way. Glad there's one more of us. PT vair guys are few and far between. (which is odd, since they lend themselves to it so well.) Good luck!

That's the nice thing about corvairs. They're different. Even most chevy guys don't know what it is at first. Especially mine since the previous owner shaved all the badges. It's kinda sad, the Corvair is a good platform to start from for any car guy/gal, but go to any of the Corvair forums out there on the web and ask about modifying this or that and be prepared to get shot down in flames by the purists in mass.

I like the Stingers and figured since not much on my Corvair is original that it didn't matter turning it into a clone. It started life as a 1967 Butternut Yellow 500, 110 HP auto w/ AC. Now it has a 140 HP, dumped the auto for a 4 spd, changed the diff gears and swapped out the interior and wheels for Monza stuff. Except for the buckets they are 68 Pontiac A-body seats. Sure beats the sadle bench that car originally came with from the factory. In fact my 66 GTO also has 68 Pontiac seats. So I have 3 sets of 68 Pontiac bucket seats. It just worked out that way. Weird huh?

I plan on follwing the Yenko paint scheme along with some of the fiberglass add-ons but not necessarily the colors...who knows at this point.

The plan is to keep the boxer, again because of being different and besides properly set up vairs more than held their own at the track against all the V8 cars even the V8 Vairs, and set it up as a Stage III specs but with the addition of forced induction. I have played with the idea of going EFI but I also like the idea keeping the Quad 1 bbls. Lot's of decisions to make.

Brakes and Suspension will be all new tech. Which believe it or not my drum brakes were played with by a buddy of mine and stop on a dime. Or like a Porche in his words. I never would of thought you could get drums to perform like they do but none the less they're getting deep six'd in favor of 4 wheel disc brakes.

But until I get to all the tough decisions it's time to start the tear down. I have a busted differential to deal with.

Every now and then there is a beacon of hope for the Corvair crowd. I don't know this guy but saw his vair at a local cruise. Anybody know him? Maybe he's on here.
