Jeff Brekke's Buick-powered '65
|
The unique character of Jeff's Corsa may not be obvious to the untrained eye, but knowledgeable Corvair people can easily spot upgrades throughout the car. On the following couple of pages, we'll take a closer look at this well planned and painstakingly executed Corvair. Stock '65s used a single brake master cylinder, and at right we see Jeff has swapped in a dual master cylinder. Next to it, an original style '65 brake master cylinder with the bleed back control diaphragm removed is used to control a hydraulic clutch. |

Ergonomic Recaro seats don't "come cheap," but replacing the stock bucket seats with a pair pays dividends in comfort, exceptional lumbar and lateral support, and adjustability. With your frame firmly planted in one of these babies, you're ready to hit the skid pad or tackle the tightest hair pin turn without worrying about ending up on the door panel or dropping a cheek between the seats. Bring on the autocross! The Corsa's fold-down rear seat is upholstered to match the Recaros. |

The Recaro tweed and leather is also carried over to the custom door panels with color-keyed arm rests, window cranks and door release handles. A manual remote control side view mirror makes adjustments more convenient when running with the windows up and the air-conditioning on. Dig the door jambs, hardware and weather stripping! Such attention to detail greatly enhances the car and makes a person almost forget they're looking at a 35 year old antique automobile. |
