<VV> ALARMING OBSERVATION:?

[shortle]

I met a gentleman in Florence CO at our tri state last weekend who claims to have 300 boxes of Corvair parts. HE ONLY WANTS $25,000 FOR EVERYTHING. He said he had 2 140 engines and 1 turbo. He had no NOS or anything that seemed all that rare or desireable. In his car collection he has a '61 Lakewood with every window shot out of it. He has a '62 Greenbrier with no vin tag. He has a '65 Corsa Coupe with a blown up 140 engine and a lot of rust. He stated he has so far spent $10,000 for storage for all his stuff. He is 76 years old. And he states he is no longer able to move all the stuff as it is all too heavy. All I can say is what a pity.
Another gentleman stopped by my shop yesterday claiming to have 15 Corvairs in Alamosa CO (about 150 miles away from Durango). He is tired of people using them for target practice at his acreage. Most have not run in 30 years he states. He said he would be willing to sacrafice them for $500 per car IF you buy them all. I can hook anyone up with contact information if desired.
