Description
1967 Chevrolet Corvair Fitch Sprint – Possibly the Final Conversion, Believed to Be the Only Four-Door Sprint
Overview:
This 1967 Chevrolet Corvair represents a rare and historically significant piece of American automotive culture, having been converted to Fitch Sprint specification in September 1971. The conversion was completed at the behest of the original owner and is believed to be the last Sprint conversion performed by John Fitch’s shop before it closed its doors. Even more remarkably, this example is thought to be the only four-door Corvair ever converted to Sprint specification, making it a true one-of-one in Corvair history.
Conversion & Restoration:
The Sprint conversion outfitted this Corvair with a 140-horsepower, four-carburetor flat-six engine paired with a four-speed manual transmission, significantly enhancing its performance and driving dynamics. The Sprint package also featured unique handling, suspension, and styling upgrades that elevated the Corvair into a distinctly more sporting machine.
Fresh from a comprehensive restoration by the current seller, the car is presented in excellent cosmetic and mechanical condition. The restoration process has been carefully documented with extensive photographs and is further supported by original Fitch documentation that authenticates the Sprint conversion.
Features & Inclusions:
The sale includes both the wheels currently fitted to the vehicle as well as the original set of 14-inch Magnum 500 wheels, provided unmounted. These wheels, along with the restoration documentation and Fitch provenance, highlight the authenticity and completeness of this special offering.
Significance:
John Fitch’s Sprint conversions remain among the most celebrated and distinctive upgrades ever offered for the Chevrolet Corvair, and this example stands apart as possibly the final Sprint built. Its unique four-door configuration makes it an outlier within an already rare niche, ensuring its place as a truly singular collector car.
