<VV> Dana Corvair

[Mike Stillwell]

 There is no historical context to call it a Stinger. Dana never called it a Stinger. Even it's P.O's Kevin never called it a Stinger. Kasey has decided to call it a Stinger - that doesn't make it a Stinger. 

 It was not ordered identical to your 108, nor my 117 - it was ordered with an A.I.R. package, as it was sold in California.
