Bringing Classic and Collectable Car Buyers Bringing Classic and Collectable Vehicle Buyers & Seller Together Worldwide 1966 Chevrolet Corvair Yenko Clone recreation Copo Up for auction is this completely rust free 1966 Chevrolet Corvair. The owner built this car with a Yenko theme in mind, and didn’t try to fool anyone with the color, stripes, or fake badging. It does have 3 Yenko decals on it, but they can be removed, the car still commands attention. He has never owned, nor been around this solid of a Corvair. The owner has owned 10+ late model coupes and even an early convertible. He also has worked on countless others. The owner has been a Corsa Member and held every office in his local club and has seen a lot of rusted Corvairs. All original Midwest cars have had some sort of rust, but NOT this one. He did not break one bolt during this labor of love, not one rounded fastener. You can spend a lot of time fighting the rust and still have a marginal car when you are done, the owner has done it before. He is not saying this car is perfect, you can always improve on some things, but it’s a great driving car.
