*SNIP*

I had wondered that too, so I checked the CORSA member database. It  
lists:

Perry Moore, 2404 Button, Santa Rosa, CA. His membership expires  
April, 2010.

I can't tell if this is the same guy, but it appears to be.

Also, Googleing - Perry Moore Corvair - returns several hits, among  
them this one:

http://www.examiner.com/x-20802-SF-Corvair-Examiner

This contains his bio:

"Perry is a rather prolific writer who authored an automotive book on  
his favorite classic car, the Chevrolet Corvair made from 1960-69. It  
remains America's only rear engine aircooled car modeled after the  
Porshe. Perry's first interest in the car was as a boy in the mid-60s  
when his parents brought one home. Since then, he has owned, repaired,  
bought them online. Corvair is unique in automotive history and over  
1.5 million were made. The history of the car is interesting and  
owning one is even more so but requires special knowledge when working  
on them and Perry can help with many of the restoration issues many  
newbies have. Like any classic car, it pays to "do it" yourself."

He is listed as a/the SF Corvair examiner on a web site called  
examiner.com.

Doesn't anybody know this guy?

Seth, I thought you knew everyone out there, don't you?
