<VV> CORVAIR UNPOPULAR

[BBRT]

Mark, You make good points.  www.corvair.org.  It is in the Communiqué, 
also-I realize you probably don't have access to one.  Go to the .org web 
site and there are local club listings as well with contact phone and/or 
emails as I recall.  You can email hjenson at comcast.net or 
corvair at corvair.org.
