Some may correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that this is a Corvair powered with a engine cover to look like an LS motor.

Yeah but you see the Covair in the May issue of PHR. The gentleman who built it did it for less than 10k and it is a 10 sec car. It has a 455 buick motor, get this, in the front. Great little car. Look for it.

The top one is fake I won 20 bucks in Columbus last year from that car. The one is the middle looks real to me from the pics. I wonder if it pops wheelies.
