Last October I acquired a 1965 Corsa 140.I'm new to the Corvair hobby although I've  been a Corsa member for 6 years and attended the Jacksonville convention..car has been running great until today.started with a slight grinding noise and within a few miles ended up with a loud grinding noise and like nuts and bolts in a washing machine.not a mechanic, so all you guys out there with the experience, any idea what it might be???....dispite the horrific noise the engine sounds fine and it seems to run OK... Appreciate any input .Thanks...Ed Grether .grethers at bellsouth.net
