<VV> Corvair Value

[Robby]

A non running, trashed interior Monza from the jersey area - IMHO if the
owner gets a $1000 offer he had better take it before the buyer changes his
mind - $500 is probably more reasonable - it is all I would be willing to
give (and would have to think about it long and hard at that price)
