<VV> Rarity of various Corvairs

[Bigwave Dave]

Wow, that's news to me. Where did you find the data for the number of AC
equipped cars in 1967. I did not see it in the book. Even with the number of
AC cars, It would have been hard to breakdown since it involve 5 models that
could be so equipped instead of just two models. All estimated data used
just two models in this article. The uncertainty would be much greater. I
have no doubt that and AC 67 Vert would be rare!

> If you want to break it down by model and AC then the '67 convert I had
would be second with an estimated 79 units. (using the numbers from the
Corvair Decade).  My guess would be that the true numbers were less than
that because Convertible buyers would be less likely or order AC than Coupe
or sedan buyers.
