GL Corvair!?
 

Here's a few pics of my long term project. 6 years deep so far. I'm getting there. So, what d'you guys think? Does it qualify as a GL?

Specs:
1969 Corvair Monza
2.7L Flat 6 aircooled motor (GM, not P-car). Mounted in the only right place, the back (GM's handiwork, not mine). I'm working on a custom carb setup (Rochester carbs suck). Maybe use some small ICT's, or K-dogs.

15x7 Cookies (for now, till I can loosen up the purse strings for the 18" Cayenne rims). Mounted with custom made wheel adaptors.
Drum brakes (for now, till I get the time for 944T). I'm planning custom 944/corvair spindles with alot of drop (upto 5" at the spindle depending on rim). I've done a custom set of 944/early bus spindles for a buddy that worked out to 7" of drop at the spindle.
Lowered via short coils, but I have a full air-ride setup already fabricated. The air ride was intalled previously, but due to the fact that this beast has to suffer the Canadian winters outside, I removed the bags. She's setup to lay front crossmember and in the rear the engine is about 2" off the asphalt.


That's about it, hopefully get her done one of these years.
When she does get done, she's up for sale. Need to fund the next project. Something to piss off the purists. :D

I don't know if it qualifies as GL, but it looks like alot of fun!

So thats what has been hiding under that tarp on your driveway ... nice :D but you have to change that color :laugh:

What kind of HP are we talking here with that 2.7L ?

I'll have to check it out sometime this week.

Don't care if it's GL or not, that's a cool ride !

Is it 'legal' ? If so, you should bring it out to one of the meets...

Rob.

Cool! I will call it GL :)

It's not legal yet, I have to finish off installing the glass and interior. It's mechanically done, runs and stops.

As for power, it's a cruiser not a racer. Rated for 110hp, but alot of the design is really inefficient. The exhaust manifold are really restictive, and it's got tiny carbs on it. With headers and some decent induction, you can really open it up.

I've been helping Sandeep with his FI setup, and it's got me thinking....

that looks soooo like a type 34 razor edge ghia! :)

Totally agree! :D

Yeah, I'm not sure if GM copied the T34, or vice-versa. If you're into the mechanical design of auto's, it's a very unique car.

It's up for grabs:
