<VV> Blue Flame 140?

[Ray Rodriguez]

     I suppose I should have mentioned that i'm familiar with the water 
cooled "blue flame" six's because of the original vette.  When I was about 5 
i got a matchbox car called the "blue flame" it was a 53-55 vette, and my 
father explained to me where the name came from, I never forgot for some 
reason.  I was wondering if anyone had ever seen this "blue flame 140" 
sticker before is all, I guess one of the inline 6's could have been 140 
horse...

    Anyway it appears that no one here has ever seen this appelation 
attatched to a corvair which is what I suspected, and what I told the 
seller.
