Wow, I can’t help here but this brings back some great childhood memories for me. 1966-67, for 2 years, I had a weekend job helping a guy restore and modify a 59 AC along with a turbocharged aluminum Olds 225 with a Muncie. He had the Borrani wire wheels widened and flares done too. I was the cleaner, sander, all around grunt, but I was in heaven and when I first got bit! We lived in SoCal by Torrance back then. He was an engineer for Air Research and then was hired by NASA to work on the Lunar Lander. He and his family moved to Houston and we lost touch a few years later. Great guy and ahead of his time for sure. But my friend Larry probably knew of the Corvace back then. I never knew of these cars but their existence does not surprise me. Very cool!
