I remember seeing a shell of the front half of a van or greenbrier welded to 
the back half of a rampside in Phoenix a number of years ago. The man who 
started it went by the name of Stony and passed away a few years ago. It was 
pretty rough, needed much more finish welding but had a lot of promise. 
Since I am not a welder and would not want to be a novice welder taking on a 
finish job like this I passed on buying it even though he offered a lot of 
parts, including drivetrain, body parts like doors and ramps and glass to 
finish it. I don't know what happened to it but I suspect his wife scrapped 
out what was left of his Corvair parts after he died. Interesting concept 
too.
Didn't our Corsa prez, Sarah have a stretch corvan for sale a few years ago 
when her husband Curt Jones died? Whatever happened to that van?
