If you are speaking of CORSA Concours, it's this simple:
All Corvair powered *or* Corvair bodied vehicles are eligible.
Note that I didn't even say "car" :-) If it has a Corvair body - even radically modified, or a Corvair engine, again, even radically modified, it can be entered.
Non-CORSA concours are a different story, but at a CORSA event all Corvairs are welcome. At a non-CORSA event they often say "no modifications", but many cars that aren't quite stock sneak in - for example if you put steel 14" wheels on your Corvair and some sort of Chevy wheelcover, most non-Corvair judges would miss that.
