"Mean Green Machine"

fiberglass dune buggy Empi Imp project

Side view at the storage yard where I bought it from. This was the lisitng photo on ebay.

Also in storage still, the dash was wood at one time and is now rotten and fallen out.

Someone dropped a heavy something on the buggy at one time. D'oh the headlight stands got busted down into the fiberglass on each side. Made sad eyes on it.

The engine. Real excitement fro me. My Dad was a big Corvair nut. I wish he still was here to share this with. It would have been great. It's a 140 HP Corsa Corvair I'm told.

Paul Moran tow'd it out into the sun for some pics. Thank to Paul and Jerry! Jerry got he quick pics and posted them for me to see!

Head on it looks like it means business. Thats why my sons and I call it "Mean Green Machine". We will be bringing it home from Il, next weekend. 8 hours each way.

Another shot of the engine. It looks like custom valve covers and oil sump. Maybe it's even beef'd up more than 140hp. Somewhere I read something about crankin' 200hp out of these. Email me if your a Corvair guru....

This is what I found on the internet when I searched for a 4 carb Corvair engine. When I get it home, I will post a vin if on the block and try to get more info. Also will need a WV Corvair rebuild/ tune up shop?

Any ideas?????

More Photos please....

As the photos of this project continue, I will post them up here for you to enjoy. Thanks again. John
