No.
Obviously most of it went into the Astro 1, so what was the Astro 1 based on?

Actually I didn't realise that;  in that case I have misled you.  Sorry.
The puzzle car is nothing to do with the Corvair and only its appearance went on to be (largely) used for the Astro 1.
I'll keep it locked for you to have another go since I fed you incorrect information.

This is a 1966 Chevrolet Corvette mockup, mid-engined and designed by William 'Bill' Mitchell. It was inspired by the 1965 Mako Shark II ...
