<VV> Dana Corvair

[Mike Stillwell]

 Agreed. Thank you Bob. I have strong feelings about the COPO program, the COPO Yenko Stingers, the UPS/ Tag car Yenko Stingers, Trans Am Corvairs and other racing Corvairs. Why it's important to me, is that in 1965/66, Corvairs had just been given a bad blow by Senoir NAA-duh's book, sales were down, Mustangs were whipping us for the domestic sports car market and we really needed a Hail-mary pass to get some Corvair respect. Our quarterback steps in and it's Don Yenko. Score one for the Corvair. We got some respect back and proof to the world that these are darn good cars.  I've met a lot of Corvair guys that pull for the under-dog. I think it comes with the disease. With the racing success, we at least know we've got a chance.

It's been a good talk. I hope some people got an insight into  the COPO world of Corvairs. It just isn't pure black and white. And the 67's are in a mess of their own. We know that all to well.  Thanks,  Mike.      Bob Dunahugh
