RARE SILVA BUILT CONVERSION - One of six Silva Conversions build personally by Art Silva and Fred Santillo. This is the only convertible that they built together.
March, 2020 Update - I recently purchased Karl Cozad's V8 Corvair from his family. Karl passed away in 2017.
Check out this video that Karl did a few years before I ended up with his car - |
215 Oldsmobile V8 in rear, Corvair 4 speed transaxle.
Owned by Carl Kozad for many years, purchased from his widow in February 2020. Originally built in New York in the late '60s by a group of three guys that built six conversions. This was the only convertible they made. Carl drove the V8 to several CORSA conventions and on the Hot Rod Power Tour.

One of my old V8 Vairs that was sold to Eric Kline of Wichita, Ks.
1966 Corvair with a Kelmark conversion. 283 Chevy V-8 with a cam and a front mounted radiator. T Kellmark is much more comfortable and quieter for this fat old man than my Crown car was.
Another of my old cars that now lives in Missouri.
Previous V-8 Corvair. Black LM Crown conversion rear radiator, 327. Fun car, but I was too big for it even with Corvette C-5 front seats that gave me a couple extra inches.
