  • In this video, we begin building Denny's twin-turbo 69 Chevrolet Corvair. These cars are normally mid-engine, but we'll be moving the motor up front and replacing the V6 with a high-horsepower twin turbo Nelson Racing LS V8. This car will sit on a custom Roadster Shop chassis with massive 6-piston Brembo brakes. It'll also be getting tons of metal fabrication, custom interior, custom wheels, and so much more. Make sure to follow this build closely, it'll be a wild one!

    If the Corvair ends up looking anything like the artist's rendering, its going to be one bad ass car!

    I was pretty stoked to watch this build until I saw that it was going to be a front engine car. Mid-engine Corvairs have been proven to be excellent driver's cars. That's what I was hoping to see here. I'm sure it will still be a badass build...

    I love it when someone has the stones and the wallet to do the audacious. Fuck, anyone can do a 69 Camaro or tri-five Chevy, but a twin turbo Corvair with those mods, is insane, or crazy, crazy like a fox.

      The only thing Corvair is the body shell. It could be any freaking car in the world with a custom chassis and high dollar aftermarket front mounted engine. That's not to say the 2nd generation Corvair shape wasn't beautiful to start with.

  • @markcollins457
    @markcollins457 3 місяці тому +5

    Beautiful workmanship on a truly forgotten classic.
    The only thing missing is that flat six. It would be great to see the Corvair be brought up to date even water cooled like the 911. Chevrolet/GM kicked that technology to the curb long before it had a chance to evolve.

    The Corvair is one of old GM’s most forward thinking , out of the box design triumph . This build,stunning in concept and craftsmanship is little different from any number of SEMA or Roadster Show or Riddler builds. I wish their mandate was to maximize the rear/mid engine design. I don’t think air-cooled would survive,but Porsche has proven that the original form is not only viable,but can be world class. A missed opportunity to be sure , but whoever commissioned this beast will have a stunnning car !!

    It's great seeing cars being built like this Corvair. Everyone seems to build Chargers, early Camaro's and while i know customers kften dictate what is built, it's awesome to see a car that isn't necessarily a go to for customisers! These two dudes are f'ing amazing!

    I've always loved these cars. I drove a '69 Monza for a summer - it belonged to a spoiled little rich girl I was dating. I always felt that the car could have been balanced better and that it needed more power. I think you've got all that worked out. I can't wait to see it finished.👍

    I had a 65 Corvair some years ago ... the flat 6 had a aftermarket 4 barrel, headers, and a 7 quart deep sump oil pan (extra oil is very important with air cooled engines). I loved the lines on this car and the drawing shows a really aggressive stance so I'm interested in seeing the final result. I also helped build a 65 with a 327 Small Block in the 'back seat" ... the light Corvair and the 350 hp small block was pretty potent. Today you can get that sort of performance from a V6 or 4 cylinder .. the big advantage was weight (total) to HP and nearly 60% of that weight on the rear wheels.

    I have a 1968 Corvair Corsa with 180 horsepower single turbo 4-speed no modifications have been done to it runs starts and drives. I'm tired of these places that have to do so much work to these cars and make them absolutely useless and worthless because you want to modify them so you spin youy tires a very famous car designer and driver said "if you spinin your tires you ain't going fast" that was Carroll Shelby. I'm sorry but it's just too much garbage on on UA-cam about how they have to modify cars to make them go faster
    just remember this 1970 Mopar made a car that at Daytona did 203 miles an hour with approximately 500 horsepower on 15-inch rims . the car sold for 4,600 driven by a little known driver named Richard Petty.unlike the new cars that are 90,000 to 100,000 that are only 10 mph faster

I get it the LS is the best thing since sliced bread. i have one in my 65' c 10 it got me everything I wanted on the cheap. but with these big builders, everything is LS swap this LS swap that I want some real original or at least uncommon from these 6 figure high-end builds. heck let's see them do a LS mid-engine (behind the driver seat) Corvair that would be cool.
