A custom early, from a '65 GM styling viewpoint, inspired by the Black's 427 LM, the treatment of the grille, awesome work. Back then, it was all shiny chrome and stamped grilles, still loved to this day, lol. Re-imagining the factory's decision to stop the production of the early model while sendin...

Black 427 Corvair, simply brilliant !

The new for 1965 V8 Corvair from Chevrolet, with factory competition options, the Duntov 296 Hemi screams to 120mph in 10.9 sec, the hottest sports car from American manufacturers.

Well, all this drawing and 'imagineering' will, eventually, have a resultant. So, start slicing and dicing any random derelict Vair into a polished gem, desired.

MidVair-014-YellowStinger.jpg Less refined, rough around the edges. I'll do more to bring the impact bumper to '75 standards.
