Re: [T3] What's this?

["Joe Plowick III" <typ3lvr@gate.net>]

I've seen a '69 notchback that had a heater mounted above the transmission.
It had a unit under the hood, and a second auxillary (?) unit in back.  I
saw the car when it was at a local shop and the owner had taken it out.  I
didn't recognize the piece till he told me what it was.
