<VV> Pinky, 3 speed transaxles and Wire Wheels

[peter koehler]

I spoke to Matt Zorvan soon after moving to Michigan from 
the Chicago area back in 1983-4. Matt said that he 
remembered distinctly the 1-2 shift and then the extra 2-3 
shift. I don't remember asking about a park position. I do 
remember that when Pinky met his demise the only part that 
the new owner wanted was the set of real wire wheels he 
had on him. I don't remember Matt saying anything about 
any parts or anything getting listed in the Communique 
classified section once Pinky was gone.

The best real wire story that I've heard came from DACC's 
Ken Pepke. He was able to score a set of K-H wires for 
next to nothing way back when. When I asked Ken how much 
he got for them when he sold them his response was that he 
still has them! Some guys have all the luck!. - Pete "Wire
