<VV> On the road again --

[Chris & Bill Strickland]

1960 Corvair #00769O139860 has returned from Group Red neverland -- last 
licensed in 1978 or maybe 1991, on it's maiden voyage, beyond a couple 
recent trips to DMV for VIN inspection, it did the 130 miles to a family 
reunion picnic and back with no problems or complaints beyond a slightly 
leaky fuel pump, no, this is not part of 'that' thread  -- I'll just fix 
it!  Not too bad for the old 140 ci engine (that looked like it was a 
junkyard refugee when I first saw it) that came with the low mile 
original condition body -- just all the bolts were missing along with 
all the rest of the small parts that held everything together.  Good 
thing I've never thrown away a Corvair part in my life, just too bad 
that I had to try and find them.  Reassembly of basket cases seems to be 
my life, just as with the first car I owned, another 1960 769 -- ah, 
nostalgia! (but that one came with a verified good 1964 164 ci 
powerplant with zero miles -- three $25 payments)

And a big thanks to my friend, Roger, who provided trailer  
transportation on his way back from the LA Roadster Show!  And my wife 
for tolerating all this weird Corvair behavior, as well as another car 
-- but this one runs!    :-)

Thanks for letting me share,   : )
