<VV> Desert Valley Auto Parts

[bub049 at comcast.net]

During the 2002 Flagstaff convention, my son, his buddy, and I went down to see what these people had and what their prices were. At that time they had 8 or 10 Vairs in the yard. Nothing special. I spotted a very nice rear deck lid for my '63 and they said to take it off and bring it to the office and they would price it for me there. So I did. They wanted $150 for it in 2002! This is for a rust free early convert I had just hauled back from California that I bough for $200. Needless to say, the overpriced sheetmetal stayed at DVAP. It was 113 degrees out that day. We walked their main yard and the collection is mind boggling, but very pricey.

I really had hopes for this show, esp when they bought a early corvair. I just wondered what they were going to do with it, because all they know is front engine lead sleds. Lost all hope with the last show, and the Ford 500. They, the producers I guess, mingled shots of Fords with Chevys, mostly any 60s Chevy. Who does not know the difference between Ford and Chevy. And the kept doing it. What a bunch of idiots! I guess it just goes to show you how bad the shows are these days. I sure would not buy a car from these idiots. How sad, it could have been a good show, for the hobbie, but all it shows is a bunch of money grubbing idiots, who think they know what they are doing.
