1966 Fitch Sprint
John Fitch certainly had lofty goals for his Fitch Sprint, a European-influenced GT car, based on Chevrolet’s Corvair. The Corvair shared Porsche’s 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’s 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’s model series celebrating John Fitch’s accomplishments as a designer of road and race machinery.
