<VV> Another 69 Bites the Dust

[William Hubbell]

Strange timing.  Due to the recent, sudden, and unexpected passing of
Tidewater Corvair Club member Jim Weber, his 1969 Corvair convertible is now
on the market.  His widow has asked the TCC to help her market and sell the
car.  Smitty, myself, and a few other TCC members will be putting together
specifics within the next few weeks.  If any of you are interested in
possibly acquiring this very nice, low mileage car, please contact Smitty or
me.

It is with a bit of sadness that I inform that 1 more of the 521 1969  
Monza Convertible's, #4413, is heading to the great resting (or rusting)
place  
in the sky.  A victim of Minnesota winters and copious amounts of salt,  
this base Maroon convertible with a 95/3 speed is off to the crusher.  I
tried 
to give the vehicle away to a few folks a couple years ago while I was  
living in Texas and couldn't get to it in Iowa, but no one took me up on
it.  
Now that I am back in the Midwest, the place I had it stored no longer  has 
room and it is going away.  I went down last weekend and took off a few  
parts before it began it's final trip.
 
I did save the vin plate, so I have that and the original Minnesota  title. 
 The seats, seat belts, and steering wheel went a while ago.   The engine 
was complete, but I didn't have a way to pull it (the car was  buckling in 
the center and wouldn't roll) so it is being recycled.  I did  pull the
carbs 
if anyone has any use for them.
 
I was able to save a few chrome trim pieces that were good, such as a  
couple tail lights, headlight trim rings, windshield and convertible boot
snap  
trim, and the wing windows that had good chrome, for use in my 65 Corsa  
convertible, as they were better than what were on that car.
 
I did save the following and have them for sale if anyone is  interested:
 
95 hp carburetors
Voltage Regulator
AM Radio Cover Plate
69 Power Top Frame, motor, cables and switch (the only real option I saw on 
 the car other than a rear antenna)
 
If anyone is interested in a few parts, let me know.  I'm not sure who  is 
keeping up with the 69 Registry, but I thought I would at least report this

rare vehicles demise for posterity.
