[NoVa-Corvairs] Project cars

[Bryan Blackwell]

The following came across VV, if you want a rust free start to a 
project, one of these might be it (the Monza 140 coupe with air looks 
most interesting to me, but I have far too many projects already).

>>> The '66 is a 140 with a/c. It's Aztec Bronze but with a non-original

>>> top. It has a very good white interior, and tinted glass all around.
>>> There is rear body damage where a driver behind me changed lanes and
>>> clipped
>>> it on the passenger side. There is also an indentation in the front
>>> fender
>>> on the passenger side caused when the car rolled about three feet and
>>> was

>>> The '67 is a 110 with a/c. It was originally Gold inside and out, but

>>> It's important to me that the cars go to someone who would restore
