Corson Motorcar # 25 (Page 1/17)

Hi to all,

This past November I purchased Corson # 25 just in time to store it for the winter with my Mera and F40. As Spring is drawing closer I am getting eager to start getting it ready for the road.

I'm looking for a Corson Motorcar builder's manual and a copy of Corson's promotion video. Anyone have these kicking around the garage?

Wow, that's a sharp looking car.

Thanks for sharing.

The shifter gate has 7 slots, is this a 6-speed car?

That is one of the nicest Corson's I have seen in a long time. Can you tell me what brand of wheels the car has?

Ahh... the Corson 412 BB replica... if it hadn't been for the shipping costs for the kit to Canada, I would have seriously considered buying one 20 years ago but I bought the Stinger 308 instead. Nice car. Rick, I think those wheels are CSA Cheviots. They only came in 15" dia's but they were a popular choice in the early 90's for Ferrari replicas.

Whatever happened to this kit? I used to dream of getting one back when I had my Sport Coupe back in '87. I love the clean lines of this compared to the Aldino. Is there lineage between the two? You have a very gorgeous car!

I don't have exactly what you're looking for, but I did dig up something you may be interested in. As I said earlier, I seriously considered buying one and sent away for the price and options list for the Corson cars back in 1992. I scanned in the letter and info package he sent. The first page is terrible because it's a faded dot-matrix printer, but the rest are OK. You should be able to figure out what your car originally costed back in the day from this. I may have more stuff hiding if you're interested (for example I have a copy of his V8 installation instructions (Gary Zumalt kit) and a few extra promo photos:

This is FANTASTIC, great historical information!! By all means please post more information.

Do you have the photographs that were included in the "Info Pack" ?

Back in 1992 that was a very expensive kit. Looking over my car, I am very impressed by the quality of the body.
