<VV> [1969] A New '69...3829

Fri Dec 10 14:27:31 EST 2010

Hi Steve,
Thanks. I'm just worried that you'll slip in things to the Facebook page without sending an email to the Group as you did in this instance (until you replied to my email). You can count on me being out of the loop Facebook wise with the 69 Group, and as Ed Thompson mentioned to you, he will be too. I only use Facebook as a means to see photos that I can't see otherwise. It's a great tool but only one of many, and I have no need or desire to go there to check for '69 Group news. Dave

Hi Dave, 

Absolutely; We will use all available appropriate means of communication to
reach group members when there are announcements, and such. But there has
been no announcement yet; merely a mention in the context of a thread just
as it was here. In other words, I slipped it in to a conversation both here
and on the Facebook page.  

Nevertheless, I'm glad for the opportunity to provide clarity.  When we're
ready to announce the roster, the newsletter, or anything else this will be
one of the places you'll see it;  There's no need to go to Facebook if you
don't want to though it's pretty clear that many group members like that
forum.  

- Steve

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the update and I know all of us will be looking forward to your
updated roster of '69s. Thanks for putting it together. Can you please
continue to use the '69 Group Mailing List to update us, rather than just
using the Group Facebook page? Not all of us live our lives on Facebook or
have time or an inclination to go there. Maybe I'm a '69 "caveman" but I
think that postings to the mailing list should remain the main form of '69
Group communication -- other than the newsletter -- without forcing us to
think to check Facebook for Group news. Thanks for all your efforts,

Dave

Dave,  

I've been compiling all of the Mark's update listings into the 1969 Corvair
Roster and also adding all of the previously unknown '69s that have been
identified to the 1969 Group over the past two plus years.

As you stated, #3829 has been previously unknown, so I will add this to the
roster.

As I mentioned on the 1969 Group's Facebook page, a roster update will be
included with the upcoming newsletter that Jim B. is working on. By the way
folks, don't forget to send your 1969 corvair stories to Jim for the
newsletter.

(Teaser: there will be more than 1250 cars listed on the 1969 Corvair
roster)

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 cou
ple 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
