<VV> Corvair and their lack of appeal

[Joe Robbins]

The whole problem started when they put electric fuel pumps and Pertronix on
them.
No need to thank me for clearing this up.

I think Mark is on the right track here.  The problem is a lot of people had
and enjoyed Corvairs.   The muscle car guys are buying fantasy not reality.
These aren't the guys that owned Hemi's and Vetts in the 60's . . . they are
the guys that  wanted to own them, but drove slant sixes and Biscaynes
instead . . . now they can afford the dreams of their youth they do.  

Most Corvair guys have Corvairs because they enjoy the way the car looks,
drives, not because the price will double in five years.  Maybe that is why
I enjoy Corvair people so much.
