Now, now, Chuck, have you forgotten to add, "HUMOR" to your posts 
lately??? ;-)

Or is this truly the rumored experimental van that GM was working on to 
add towing capacity to the FC line? I heard larry claypool talk once 
about a conversation he had with an old GM engineer who was on his 
deathbed. The man is said to admit that he did indeed work on the 
top-secret XL100 program, but was sworn to secrecy about it. I'd be 
careful that word doesn't get out to anyone at GM that  you have this 
vehicle, you couldn't drive well with broken knees.

On a more serious note, you are aware that there was a dual-engined 
front-to-back drag race car run years ago? As I remember, it was an 
Altered class car, not Corvair bodied, using a Fiat or Model A Ford 
body or similar. I have pictures of it somewhere on my hard drive.

Got to do something when your indoors in the Winter, huh?
