1966 Chevrolet Corvair corsa review from North America
"This car is a masterpiece!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The valves were burned when I bought it. They were replaced with new ones made from solid billets of inconel-very expensive. Other than routine maintenance which this car demands a lot of, no other repairs have been necessary.
General comments?
This car is an extremely rare turbocharged Fitch Sprint convertible that has all the high performance goodies. After forty one years this little car can still show a lot of very expensive new machinery the fast way home. Older Porsches of the 911 variety are its favorite meal. This car is, in my opinion, as close as GM ever came to building a Maserati. The one time GM got it right and they dropped the ball! Mine is red with black top and interior. The body style oozes raw sex appeal like no new car can.
