<VV> Modified vs. stock Corvairs

[Frank DuVal]

Well Ned,

It is the simple fact that once an original Corvair is modified, it will 
always be modified, or junked.

So, to purists, original cars are nice but  modifieds have begun the 
slippery slope to the graveyard, never to return to stock status.

Whereas to modified owners a stock Corvair represents another great body 
to carve up to their own liking. When they tire of their current 
project, they look for another stock car to modify, as a preciously 
modified car is too far modified to begin another project. How many 
highly modified cars do you know have changed hands and are still in 
service? I am speaking of severe modifications, not just spoilers, fancy 
electronics, lowering, etc. Again, if the car was already on the way to 
being junked, anything done to continue its useful life as a modified is 
great!

In fact, many of the modified owners also own a stock Corvair, myself included. I like and appreciate them both, for different reasons.
