<VV> Here's the laugh!

[shortle]

Hi Ted, Lots of parts guys are driven crazy looking up stuff for what turns out to be the wrong year of car. You are not alone. Now for the good news- '61's are better than '60's (woops). "61's have parts that are more common to other Corvairs. Just don't buy a '61 Convert.
