1965 Corsa Crown Conversion

 Lane's silver car has probably the nicest set of tasteful louvers yet seen on a Corvair. They are functional cooling outlets for the radiator, ala Ferrari style.

The engine in Lane's Vair is a 327 Chevy small block with HEI ignition and Jet Hot Coated Crown headers exiting through a set of Borla mufflers. The air cleaner inlet is attached to a stock Corvair oil bath air cleaner mounted to the side.

The interior is stock except for the Crown seat unit and top engine cover with black carpeting and seat inserts. There is enough room for a stock wood rim steering wheel also. A fire extinguisher has been installed beside the driver. Something we all should have in our cars.

The cooling system is up front in the Crown mode with a vertical cross flow radiator ducted in front from under the bumper air inlet opening. Along with the hood louvers, there is a cut out behind the radiator in front of the stock gas tank which has been removed in favor of a Mustang gas tank mounted in the old engine compartment, now the trunk. A set of Tilton master cylinders operate the brakes and hydraulic throw out clutch bearing. The expansion tank was made by Lane.

The suspension has Clarks HD springs and KYB shocks.

The wheels are nice spoke look custom units  with gold centers and polished rims.

The car has a nice stance with the Z28 spoiler under the chin.
