<VV> age aan charlie dye

[Bill Brafford]

age 51, the 63 turbo convert is my first, long history in our family of 
corvairs though.
hate to burst your bubble here clark, but i know charlie dye, and know that 
he has corvair parts, lots of them, as i helped him load up a TON of them 
when Larry's closed in AZ last year, i do not think that he sold all of them 
since,

 good guy, a bit nutty but a good honest fellow
