First and only slalom I ever ran was in that car. I missed the practice session, so a guy in a 260Z let me ride with him to learn the course. I made my run and the timer asked me, “What DO you have in that thing?”

“Just a stock 1595 cc engine with 96,000 miles. Why do you ask?”

“You’re in third place, ahead of the ‘Vette.”

Great little car! ( I had put 5.5” Corvair rims with Michelein XAS copy tires on it, so it handled quite well)

I eventually traded it for a ‘66 Alfa Giulia Sprint GT. The owner went back to college and could not afford to pay Alfa dealerships to work on it.
