1966 Chevrolet Corvair Fitch Phoenix Prototype

The 1966 Concept car the Corvair Fitch Phoenix was based off of a Corvair, built on a 95 inch wheel base which was 13 inches shorter than a standard Corvair with an over all length of 174 inches. The Fitch Phoenix had a 170 hp Corvair engine with a Weber carburetor that allowed the car to go 0 to 60 mph in just 7.5 seconds with an estimated top speed over 130 mph. 

The Fitch featured an upgraded braking system, Girling disc on the front and stock Corvair drum brakes on the rear. To further enhance the Fitch Phoenix's performance were staggered wheels 175R/14 in front and 185R/14 in the rear and optional fender humps which were for aesthetics  as well as functional they were used to store the spare tires.

Unfortunately in 1969 Chevrolet stopped production of the Corvair which the squashed hopes of production for the Fitch Phoenix as there wouldn't be a source for engines and parts.

The Fitch Phoenix prototype was a functioning car, there was only one ever made.
