I second that. Thru CORSA you can make contacts that simply wouldn't be
available any other way. Also, I highly recommend that you find and join
AND become active in the nearest local CORSA chapter, of which there are
several in Ohio. Any one of them will welcome you with open arms. My
own, Friends of Corvair, is a regional club covering the entire
northeast quarter of the state. We're a touring club, so few boring
monthly meetings - something that seems to be death to many other clubs.

Also, get a better idea of exactly WHAT you want - 4speed or automatic,
how many doors or a convert, early or late or FC. Those are the basic
configurations to start with. Look at all of them then decide. And being
part of a local club, you'll have plenty of opportunity to get a feel of
them all. Plus local members can steer you to a good car once you DO
have a better idea.
