[Matt Nall]

That's your problem.."Browsing".....  good cars and "deals" come thru 
"connections"!!!  Your local chapter.....you are a member?

And #1!!   DRIVING a Corvair.....all over the place...to different towns... 
they'll give em' to ya!

My most recent, was way under a grand.. delivered!....has a NEW 140..pg 
64...coupe.......with a pulsating Choke pulloff..... like Rudys....

broken pushrod /rocker arm.........fixed quickly.......while revving for a 
test of a PC  based rpm / Timing   graphing program.....broke the other of 
each on the same cylinder....same symptom.....same fix...just examined all 
parts and chamfered the inner holes of the rockers...per Bob Coffin....

And yes, it had other problems...no upshift [ pinched vacuum line to 
modulator], low brake pedal.......back up 900 times to self adjust..

broken down  drivers seat.....got a free MATCHING one while 700 miles south 
at the Fan Belt Toss......

Has  NEW Clarks Carpet!....but no radio!!  Bummer!!  OH...of course... it 
had almost $300 of back state registration to pay...

Boo Hoo...gg  no rust  94k  miles on chassis...  2 owner... [  member of the 
Corvair Center's Forum...]

The car before that..66 Turbo coupe.....almost cost more to get car shipped 
than I paid.......[ friend from Coyote Corvair Club of San Diego County ] 
car was in Arizona.
