<VV> Corvairs Gone Bad / counterpoint

[Louis C. Armer, Jr.]

Hey Charles, I viewed the link you had referenced and it was quite detailed 
and honest.
Not knowing the price makes forming an opinion on the car a bit difficult 
but it appeared
to be a reasonable project for making a nice daily driver. Many times the 
"horror" stories
potrayed on VV are the result of gross lack of planning on the part of the 
purchaser to be.

This owner was realistically honest in the representation of his Corvair. 
Your e-mail made it a
bit confusing as to ownership, are you the owner of the 1967 now? Is the 
link about your advertising
or the person from whom you bought the 1967?
