The Astro I was on exhibit at CPF's Corvair Museum in Richmond, VA during the late 90's.  It had a non-functional 140 motor.  It was not hooked up to run and no exhaust system.  The OHC motor was mentioned in the Astro I brochure, cleverly implying that engine was in the car, but it apparently never was.  This car was a design study "roller" from the day it was finished, but it sure was fun to look at!
