1963 Corvair Monza Coupe Front Engine Conversion Resto-Mod

A lot of work went into this wild Corvair Resto-Mod! It was stretched in the hood to fit the 383 Stroker engine. The custom frame was built by Art Morrison. This is a street legal drag race ready V8 Corvair!
Recorded at Cruise Paradise in Hawaii.

That's a crazy amount of work

[@gregfielder4763]

What an amazing car and owner. The amount of engineering he put into this is staggering!

[@ebikeliverystable]

His racing experience shows in his perfection of this build. Good job

[@charlesdalton985]

Absolutely one of the best builds I have ever seen! The talent, skill, determination, engineering, etc are incredible. I don’t know if he builds cars for a living, but he’s thrown shade on a lot of professional shops with this!

[@aaronburratwood.6957]

Pretty sweet, I dig the yellow with silver over with black.

[@jwelchon2416]

WOW!! That guy is a metal working genius!!

[@christophermay4998]

He did use two hood's..........but only one body..........anybody else that would've tried to build this would've used 2-3 car's to do it..........really shows his planning and building skills........nicely done........👍👍👊👊

[@lateefcarrere1649]

I read "Unsafe at Any Speed" as a kid, and I bet this car would prove Mr. Nader wrong 😁

[@bruceh92]

I can imagine a second Gen Corvair with same treatment, elongated hood, etc., would look off the charts.

[@Manufalket]

Super like,,,,, 🤩👍

[@jasonrackawack9369]

I have seen V8 front engined corvairs before, but I always wanted to see a corvair with a grille in the front......I can die happy now.

Fantasic job with pride

[@SoMDHarleyRider]

Outstanding build!

[@randallfrank5682]

I love the fact that the owner was the designer and the builder of this Corvair. Ingenious!

[@maxthrust976]

That is a seriously cool Corvair

[@danmar007]

I loved the Corvair when I was a kid. Our scoutmaster had one. This one looks amazing.

[@bryduhbikeguy]

Very nice.

I'm a stickler for stock but this is an amazing build!

[@randybock82]

Safe at any speed! Im cracking up

[@HeavyChevy]

Beautiful car, love the color combination and the engine choice. I’m surprised he didn’t go with TH400 transmission. Still super nice ride!

[@Thomas63r2]

One of the details not mentioned is the car's weight. Absolutely nothing wrong with a TH350 in a lighter drag car can easily be built to handle up to 800 horsepower. Besides being lighter in weight, the TH350 has less parasitic drag than a TH400 - which equals more power to the ground up to the horsepower limit of the transmission.

Dennis Please never stop

[@absinth9288]

tasty build

[@danielscott6787]

I've seen 2 Corvairs that were put on G body M.C. frames. My last Corvair was a 66 Monza. Flat 6 with Powerglide. I stuck a set of 3rd gen IROC rims on it. Filled out the wheel wells nice.

[@JohnShinn1960]

Lotta work paid off! Love the colors, awesome! 👍👍👍

Thanks Dennis for another great video. Have a great weekend.

That's a little bit special.

[@vladtheimpala5532]

A lot of good things on that car. Frankly, it’s a very big deal. Tremendous! Nobody’s ever seen anything like it. Ralph Nader is a moron. I’m sure you would never call on him because his book is *_FAKE NEWS!_* Let’s make Chevys great again!

A great build and totally 💯 unique while still retaining much of the original Monza look and body. Congrats from Canada 🇨🇦

Nice I use to have one painted custom and was nice sold it wen I didn't have money but help alot I do miss my car fun to drive he did a nice job

You should check out Matt's off road recovery for another rad Corvair build. A greenbrier wagon converted for off road. Awesome. 👍

Ive got 2 63's, both are convertible and one has the 102hp and the other the 140hp

Very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@plymouthduster225]

Got a buddy that's got a 65 like that he put it on a Chevy S10 truck frame.

[@brandonmiranda2417]

That man is a master of metal work design and engineering amazing. So is there any way of seeing more of this car running at the least maybe at the drag strip?

[@The_DC_Kid]

Will it REALLY go 100 mph? (LOL, I've had 3) Most unique design I've seen, and it's rare to see an early model conversion. EXCELLENT job the finished and streetable car.

[@Pdfflyer1]

Often thought of a stretched 300ZX Z31 from the mid 80's to accomplish a V-12 under the Hood

[@timcornelius1912]

Tasty, very tasty

[@joebarber4030]

Great build ! but really didn’t understand why he lengthened the car unless he wanted the longer wheelbase setup for drag racing. Good looking early corvair 👍

[@patbullard9276]

I luuuvvv it.

[@808kicks2]

How do I find this guy? I’m on Oahu looking for help me my vair and he definitely is the guy!!

[@herrunsinn774]

The elephant lurking in the corner of the room might ask, "Why?". 😅 😂 🤣 Or to paraphrase the famous words of Jeff Goldblum's character in the original Jurassic Park, "You car guys are so preoccupied with whether or not you could, you didn’t stop to think if you should.”

[@dr.arifkaragoz]

Looked like Bmw 3.0 CS. Great car

[@bobroberts2371]

Perhaps 30 years ago someone built a front engine Corvair using a Jaguar engine. I think it had an experimental rear transmission from a Tempest.

[@kingerikthegreatest.ofall.7860]

Cool.

[@tezzzier]

Okay way Kool!

[@The_R-n-I_Guy]

Awesome build. Although personally I think I would rather have an original Corvair

[@scottbecker3563]

Google Corvair mountain for parts...

[@SquirminHermanthe1eyedGerman]

nice Corvair but I spy with my little eye a Dodge Lil Red Express sitting in the background

[@bartscanland9415]

The taillights are from a '64. Also, this car previously had a Powerglide automatic transmission.

[@scootergeorge9576]

The instrument cluster is from a Powerglide car. The lever is not there. 2:45

So, he took a Corvair, and, wrecked everything that made it special. How is this a good thing? He should have his eyes put out for this travesty.

[@MyClassicCarTV]

Actually, what he did made this a very special Corvair.
