<VV> Possible Special Guest at the Corvair Ranch 5/23

[peter koehler]

Okay, if you are four hours or less away from the Corvair 
Ranch you may want to consider coming to Jeff's Open House 
event this Sunday, May 23rd in Gettysburg. We may have a 
very special guest attending: Terry Lynn Benson of 1965 
Canadian Winter Rally fame. Well, fame might not be an 
accurate term since he did not finish the Rally. But he 
did try! Of the 132 cars that started only 23 finished 
that year. That must have been one tough Rally course!

Terry and his co-driver entered Terry's then-brand new 
1965 Turbo Corsa. When they limped back to Morgantown, WV 
they had one of the most severely french-fried clutch 
discs in motoring history! But their Corvair got them back 
home. As Terry told me; even Austin Healy's bounce off 
Corvair quarter panels!

Plan to come to the Open House and listen to the stories 
Terry can tell. I will have background information as well 
as some very rare artifacts from that event as part of the 
traveling CPF display. It should be a fun day with a very 
rare opportunity to meet and greet a fellow Corvair 
enthusiast who didn't just talk about Corvairs - he drove 
them! See ya on Sunday? - Caveman Pete
