<VV> The 1965 Corvair trunk latch?

[J R Read_HML]

Carl,

I believe (read - don't know for certain) that the latches will all be the 
same from '65 on.  I might have a used '66 one floating around here 
SOMEWHERE.  It would be a search mission to find it.  Let me know if you 
want that - and how soon it is needed.

Later, JR
