<VV> How sad... The seller with a backyard full of parts has had an overnight change of heart.

Joe, darn that's too bad. I guess that means that when I get tired of my
'69 convertible, I should just burn it or have it crushed, cause I know
the cheap Corvair people out there won't fork up $50,000 for it!! 

 Why don't we all work on supply and demand and destroy all our car
parts to drive his pile up in value. Yeah, that's logical!!!

PS: The '69 on the cover of the Communiqué is a dead ringer for mine,
that was on the cover in July '79.

Getting all the information is most of the solution.

heads for $300...

The final blow... "I'd rather see these parts go to the scrap yard than
to sell them cheap"...

.....He said "A Corvette air cleaner will sell for $400 or more, and
Corvair people want a Corvair air cleaner
for $30"  He bemoaned that selling Corvair parts cheap just continued to
devalue our cars and that he would rather scrap parts and take them out
of
the market to raise the price of corvair parts than he would sell them
to
people who need them cheap...

I ended up telling him to call me after he has sold all of the valuable
parts, and I'd be happy to go through whatever he has left to save it
from
the scrap yard.

.
Well gang... I tried.  Another Corvair guy who doesn't understand why
his
Corvair parts don't sell for what Corvette parts sell for.  Someone who
would rather destroy parts and send them to the scrap yard rather than
put
them in the hands of people who could use them.
