<VV> RE: What kind of Corvair?

[Cliff Tibbitts]

This happened to another member of the club, so I am passing this on based
on his word, but it certainly sounds believable.

Years ago, he had stopped at small mom and pops restaurant somewhere here in
the middle of Kentucky.  It was one of those places that also had a set of
gas pumps out front.  He and his wife had noticed some stares and comments
made in the general direction of his late model Corvair.

As he was leaving, he decided to top off the tank so he pulled up to the
pump.  As he was getting his gas, one of the other patrons had come out to
the car.  "Settle a bet for me," he said.  "I bet a gentleman inside that
this is a custom car.  I told him that the back half came off a Corvette and
the front half was a Camaro."  

My friend set him straight, I would have left him thinking he was right.

Kind of reminds me of the time several of us (Corvairs and owners) had gone 
to the RR museum for a day long old car event.  My friend an I were enjoying

the late afternoon with a brew or two and watching the other vehicles as 
they left the grounds since everything had to pass by us in order to leave.

A gentleman came upon us and our Vairs and asked "How many of them are 
left?"  Since the other vair owners had already departed, my friend in all 
seriousness (too many beers?) said, "I think these are the last two".

Later, JR
