<VV> Three Speed, Yes Vair-Corsa

[corvairduval at cox.net]

I looked at a Corsa Convertible for sale in Warsaw VA last summer. It also
had a three speed. I couldn't tell from the data plate if it was a factory
3 speed. It WAS a power top, the only letter on the data plate. 1966. It
had some body issues and therefore sold on eBay for more than I was willing
to pay. Did anyone on this list buy it? Good running 140. Sold to someone
out west. Go figure...

Snowfall of three inches overnight. Quite unexpected per reports.

Frank,
     How 'bout if it's a 3 speed CORSA convertible???  Yes, I saw one years
ago in NYC that the guy was considering selling.  It was in beautiful shape
(a 140) and I couldn't believe it was a 3 speed but he proved it by putting
it in what would have been 1st in a 4 speed and backing it up.  The car was
in terrific shape but he never followed through on selling it to me.  Of
course I would have replaced the 3 speed with a 4 speed, but it never
happened.

Waxing poetic as I'm watching the snow fall in huge flakes,
