<VV> Corvair Powered Tracked Vehicle

[Gary Swiatowy]

Studebaker did make a Weasel for the military.

The Dynatrak is a different animal, made by Canadair.
Speaking as one of those who was responsible for restoring the prototype
experimental Corvair motor used in the Dynatrack. The Dynatrack used air
cleaners similar to early style, and had a magneto with shielded plug wires,
and a 24 volt system with a Mutt generator.  All of the engine shielding on
the Canadair motor was one off, as well as exhaust manifolds, oil pans, gen
mounting bracket, oil filter location and so much more.

The unit pictured in the craigs list ad is clearly a late model Corvair
motor and not original to this unit. So yes, it is a Corvair motor cobbled
into a Studebaker vehicle.

Pretty sure this is a CL-91 Dynatrac. Also known as XM-571. I hope some of
these will be helpful. Good pics on the forum and nice video from
Corvairwild!
