<VV> West Coast Corvairs bought back East

[Charlie]

Interesting "travel history" since I just picked up a 1965 Corsa that was
bought in Asheville, NC and was (nearly) immediately brought to Riverside
possibly for the same reason, to circumvent smog equipment. 

The car was then stripped of its 140 to be used in a dune buggy back in
1992, and the body left for dead until last month when I found it just
sitting there.

Hopefully I can bring back some of its former glory!

My 1969 with NY smog equipment ran extremely poorly until I ripped it all
out, doubling my gas mileage and giving the performance I had expected, but
did not come close to getting, with a smogged 140 4-speed!  What a
difference!!!

My Dad was the second owner. The car was bought new in Virginia and we live
in CA. The good thing was that it did not have a smog pump since in 1966
only Ca cars were required to have smog pumps. I owned the car after my dad
and do not remember a non syncro 1st gear. At the time my Dad bought the
car, CA did not require a retro-fit of smog equipment.
