[SCG] New to the list, Back into Corvairs - a Fabulous Find

[Dan Davis]

Nice to see a group dedicated to documenting the vair-ious factory features of
our beloved little cars.
I've recently purchased a very well preserved example of the American GT car.
It's a 1966 Corsa coupe with just the right options to fulfill it's role.
First, it has the Turbo engine. Correct 4O code is all by itself on the last
line of the Fisher ID tag.  It was built in Los Angeles the 3rd week of Dec.
in 1965. Engine code is T1209RL, so it's easy to assume this is the original
engine. It wears Chateau Slate paint & has the Black interior.  
Now, the original owner made careful choices from the option list to create
this dream car: Telescoping Steering column, standard wheel. Quick steering
box & arms. HD suspension. Positraction differential.
All parts appear to be factory original, based on the "patina" I'm cleaning
off of the car.  It has just over 100K miles and is Very well preserved, for a
soon to be 42 year old Corvair.
