<VV> A New '69...3829

[Dave Newell]

Hi,
I think I found a previously unknown '69 today...#3829, a Monza Coupe Powerglide, Frost Green (aren't they all?), Green Interior, radio, 140 Powerglide. Body number 309026, built Third week of February. It's not in our 1969 Fingertip Facts Roster or in Mark's update listings. It's been sitting outside but is complete except for the AIR system. It looks to be all original with an excellent body except for the left front fender which is crumpled ahead of the wheel opening but within a relatively small area and it doesn't look like it affected the rest of the front sheet metal. The very nice license frames appear to be correct '69 vintage from F.H. Dailey Chevy in Oakland. This would make a nice driver with some TLC. It definitely should be saved. The car is part of Don Sprayberry's large collection of Corvairs in Fresno, Calif. Some of his 50+ Vairs are parts type cars but most are restorable and complete. They rage from from 1960 on up with some from every year including a couple 60 Monzas, two 60 sedans, several A/C cars (including a 63 Monza coupe, 64s & 65s), a 63 Corvan plus several other FCs including a Rampside, 3 68s including a convert, 3 '67s, and a 61 500 Lakewood (red). Don wants to sell the cars complete and not have them picked for parts. Call Don at 559-906-1289 or email him at saltgmc at aol.com and tell him I sent you. He's a CORSA member and longtime Corvair guy who'll you'll like! Please be sure to send any new '69 sightings, ownership changes, reports of scrapping etc. to Eve Ellis at eemumkat at earthlink.net . She's planning to maintain Mark's '69 registry. Dave Newell
