<VV> Horn Slot '60 on Ebay

[peter koehler]

The car in question was built on July 10, 1959. It is a 
very early car. I know of only one other that was earlier 
in the production sequence. I did attempt to purchase this 
car the day after Thanksgiving last year. I took my trusty 
flatbed trailer and cash to the used car lot in Indiana. 
After viewing the car and talking at length with the 
owner, a nice guy with a really cool collection of neat 
old cars, I decided not to purchase his '60. It was hard 
for this Caveman to say "no" to such an early car, but it 
had more issues than redeeming qualities. Of course the 
VIN was the biggest draw.

This car can be saved. It will need some major rust repair 
and the parts that were previously worked on should be 
re-done correctly. The old saying goes that some parts of 
the car are no longer Corvair-shaped. Even the horn slots 
have been compromised. It has 2 1/2 slots on the driver's 
side and there is mostly a smoothed over panel where the 
three indentations should be on the passenger's side of 
the lower valance. Once completed you will have a very 
historically significant Corvair and will be the envy of 
other Cavemen across the land. Instead of this one I will 
work to improve my white 1960 500 sedan that I bought just 
before this car went on Ebay the first time. Plans are to 
have it ready for the convention this summer. See you 
there? - Caveman Pete in Slippery Rock, PA
