<VV> 10k Monza on Ebay/concours judging.

[Bill Hubbell]

This happens because the CORSA Concours is set up for judging cars based 
only on appearance (fit, finish, cleanliness), and not in any way shape or 
form based on originality.  It is inevitable with such a system that a 40-50 
year old original body surface/paint job, etc. will receive a lower score 
than a fresh restoration.

But if you'd like to explore an alternative way of looking at Stock 
Corvairs, come to the Annual Stock Corvair Event - to be held for the first 
time ever at the Buffalo convention in 2006.
