<VV> Will the Real "Oldest Corvair" please stand up?

[peter koehler]

Okay. I did go over to the Corvair Center and read the 
posts of someone claiming to have found and purchased the 
Oldest Corvair - even older than the one that I am working 
on (W100375). I hope this guy Mel has been able to close 
the deal and get the car. His original post only gives a 
partial VIN. If the car does exist and he is able to buy 
it, then great for him! I wish he would tell us the full 
VIN. If he has W1002xx, then his car is hours older than 
W100375. But hey! Hours and minutes count when you want to 
claim the oldest of something.

I hope this whole thing isn't an Internet hoax. The reason 
that I got back engaged in trying to buy #375 was because 
someone reported on the Corvair Center Forum that they 
spoke to the guy in Indiana who was selling #375. I found 
out that could not have happened as the guy suffered a 
heart attack and died last year. Sooooo, until Mr. Mel 
tells us the entire VIN of his 1960, my 1960 is still the 
oldest Corvair in the World. But please, keep looking for 
Horn Slot '60's. Try to find one with VIN W1001xx. You 
could be the hero! - Caveman Pete
