<VV> OPINIONS PLEASE. no, or little Corvair.

[Western Canada CORSA]

Only 52,000 original miles!  Shouldn't it still be under warranty?!

I'd ask Vintage Parts if there is something special about that particular
A/C compressor that would prevent them from having the parts necessary to
rebuild your unit in 10 years time should you need it.

Regards,
Joel

Long story short, when do you know, and should you purchase extra parts,
when you plan on keeping a car a long time. My Mom owns a very rare 85 2
DOOR, Park Ave. Most all were 4 doors, this is a fully loaded 2 door. Even
one of the salesman at the Buick house stopped and looked at it in the
service drive, and told her how rare it is. Problem, the AC compressor has
gone out after 8 or 10 years. It was also converted to 134-R in 2000. I used
to work at the Buick/Chevy house, and still have a few buddys in parts. It
took us two days to locate the correct compressor. and at a very good price
too. The original from AC/Delco is discontinued. Went to Vintage Parts
Inc,(didn't have time to check on Corvair parts), and they show to have 8
rebuilt in stock, for $199.95. Beats GMs $700, if they had it. Should I buy
2, and keep one spare? Also, how do you store it for a long time, with out
ruining it? Pack it in grease, and seal it? Will the seals go bad just
sitting in a box? Risk one b  eing available in another 10 years. What do
you think? OH, this car only has 52,000 original miles on it. What do you
guys think? BRUCE
