<VV> Replacement part quality

[Eric S. Eberhard]

Part of the problem -- there are plenty of cheap, available Corvairs in 
junk yards with perfect sheet metal for no dollars.  I am now considering 
purchasing a 100% rust-free 64 Spyder Coupe (with the hubcaps!).  The 
junkyard owner says it was running when parked.  It rolls, brakes feel 
good, low price.  It is hard to build new sheet metal to compete with 
that.  California Corvair Parts parts out a lot of rust-free Corvairs and 
seems to throw away a lot of usable sheet metal.
Nobody wants it.

Anybody want the 64 Spyder ... I want a few parts and then I would consider 
reselling it?  Or I might get greedy and get it running and sell it on ebay :-)
