I think this is not the question. The question is if such ads have
a place in the journal of the Club founded to protect the Corvair.
Why would it make anyone criminal if the rules for printed ads in the
CORSA CC, besides e.g. not advertising any VIN tags, would include
that the ads should be in the interest of Corvair preservation?
This happens to be just not in the interest of the Corvair, that's
all about it.
At least an editor note, that the parts will be used for non-Corvair
business, should be added to such an ad. Not every reader of the
CC is on VV.
The dealer can advertise elsewhere as much as he wants, even in the
CORSA online ads, where such a rule can hardly be enforced.
Do you say that if a known rich guy places a CC ad to buy up any
Corvair for $10000, and you know he gets them all to the crusher to
free the planet of them, you would have print it? And then, when
every Corvair is crushed, we rename CORSA goals to whatever comes
handy to make money out of it?
Why should we pay dues for a club to support dealers to advertise
buying rare Corvair parts for non-Corvair related business? With
the side effect that Corvair parts get more expensive?

Question is not about selling, but about advertising in the Corvair
Club journal to buy Corvair parts to be used with high profit for
non-Corvair purpose. The right to sell whatever to whomever is not
the point of offence.
