[FC] '61 rampy

[James Davis]

Totally disagree.  I have had a 140 in my 61 Rampside since 1984 and 
have never lost a seat.  In fact, I have 140 in all my Corvairs.  I 
lost my last seat in 1974.  I have over 310,00 miles on 140 engines 
since then.  Oh by the way, the Rampside is also air conditioned.
