Charlie Friends.... Worlds Fastest Corvair?
Here's some info on that Corvair. The crashed one was the first version. The second version claims to have been clocked at 213mph which is the one in the videos. From what I have read the second (current) car uses modern Corvette rear suspension and a Porsche transmission, a G50 I think, bolted to a Chevy 350 v8 swapped around to a mid engine orientation. Far from a stock Corvair the car is a custom fab landspeed car using a 65 Corvair tub.
