\"\"<\/a>1966 Fitch Sprint<\/h3>\n

John Fitch certainly had lofty goals for his Fitch Sprint, a European-influenced GT car, based on Chevrolet\u2019s Corvair. The Corvair shared Porsche\u2019s rear-mounted, air-cooled, Boxer-6 engine layout, but the quirky Chevy had little else in common with the German sports car. Fitch, however, had the racing and engineering experience to change that. The majority of his effort was spent on suspension upgrades, with revisions to shocks, springs and geometry to yield a more nimble, more neutral, Euro-style driving experience. With that achieved, Fitch perked up the car\u2019s induction to find 15 more horsepower, and sprinkled the interior and exterior with styling and luxury trim items to make the Sprint more refined and classy. The result was easily the best handling, most well-rounded Corvair ever built. This is the second of Automodello\u2019s model series celebrating John Fitch\u2019s accomplishments as a designer of road and race machinery.<\/p>\n

$119.95 (as shown) or $235.00 in Black with Fawn interior and hand-signed by John Fitch<\/b><\/p>\n
