1966 CORVAIR CORSA
My CORSA
A long time ago, I owned and raced a YENKO in SCCA, and I wanted a car to relive a bit of that. This CORSA is the result.
And what a fun car to drive!!!
While I do not know who did most of the body work, I updated the mechanical in the last year or so and the numbers match.
The body had a 68/69 front left fender and new windshield installed, fiber-glass work in the usual places and for the most part, very good results. The tub/frame is in good shape, as is the suspension.
However, this car is not rust free; ie: the price.
