Description
Corvair platform, custom fiberglass skin of unknown origin. The nose seems to be based on early Porsche, and the rest seems to be pieced together from several sources.
Powertrain is the subframe, engine, and trans from a 87 Olds fwd car, mounted in the back Fiero-style.
Bought in '75 or so, it slept from '81 until '03, when I bought the donor car and started the project.
Finally hit the street in 09, and gradually improving it ever since.

Mileage is guess for vehicle - the motor has about 200k, and the trans maybe 140k.
