This 550HP Mid-Engine V8 Corvair DESTROYS Autocross – Meet the CorVin8er!

What happens when a retired aviation maintenance instructor, a wrecked motocross dream, and a wild idea collide? You get the CorVin8er—a mid-engine, 550 horsepower autocross monster born from a 1966 Chevy Corvair.

Built by John Black and his son Cory, this one-of-a-kind machine features a stroked 427ci small-block Chevy where the back seat used to be, a C5 Corvette differential swap, custom suspension geometry (designed on a garage floor with wood!), and bodywork pieced together from Toyota Hilux fenders and a wok-turned-carbon-fiber-airbox.

Forget what Ralph Nader said—this Corvair handles, hustles, and hauls. It’s taken on autocross courses, thousands of street miles, and the HOT ROD Power Tour with brute force and homegrown engineering. From backyard ingenuity to full-blown performance, this is the ultimate DIY transformation story.
