I can’t knock Lohnes for picking the Yenko Stinger…it’s a given that if you aren’t going for a V8-converted ‘Vair, that the Yenko is the way to go. Looking at for sale ads on Craigslist and eBay for a dream car is awesome, we aren’t going to lie. I was doing that long before I got hired on…it’s where I look to for dream builds, and where I’ve found the cars I’ve run as projects. But looking at pictures of a car is kind of like looking at a dirty magazine: sure, the pictures are nice and might do something for you, but wouldn’t you rather be in the middle of the action, hearing the noises, feeling the sensations? Yeah, thought so. Since actually racing a car on the track is something that you, dear reader, will have to actually organize, we will provide you with the next best substitute: a video of someone having the kind of fun you wish you were having. In this case, it is Mike Levine and his Crown conversion Corvair.

Powered by one of two engines (either a 383ci or 406ci small block) and backed with a four-speed, this Corvair is a regular around Road Atlanta, appearing in historical races. It’s a screamer and a handler, and as this footage from the 2013 HSR Historics race will show, it can handle the best out there on the track. Corvette Grand Sport? Sure. Porsche? No problem. All while making a noise that is pleasing to the ear and a stimulant to the heart.

Does the boss have anything left for this war? We will see…
