Hi Folks,

In case you haven't seen it, there's a gentleman in Bolivia who is  
restoring a 1960:

http://www.widman.biz/Corvair/corvair.html

Richard's daughter lives in Warrenton and he'll be visiting in  
August, so I invited him to our meeting in August in Manassas.  Bill  
Hubbell posted a copy of some things Richard is looking for to VV,  
that's below.  I'd guess we may have some of this stuff around, so  
reply back to him (at richard at widman.biz) if you can bring it along  
in August.
