<VV> $24.5k for a 1966 Corsa convert

[peter koehler]

Seems like a steep price to me. Yes, it has a lot of 
options. But there seems to be room for improvement from 
the pictures supplied. For my $24,500 I would would like 
to have a near perfect Corvair. Just because it is an A/C 
Corsa convert with headrest seats and a tele wheel 
shouldn't move the price point that far North with the 
obvious flaws.

My lemonwood yellow 140 Corsa convert was painted this 
weekend at my buddy's shop just outside of Pittsburgh. As 
soon as the weather improves I will go retrieve it and 
complete the restoration. I will have a new top installed 
at a shop in Pontiac, Michigan. If it turns out like the 
install on the Hemmings $24.5k Corsa I might ask for 
either a refund or a deep discount!

I'm hoping to have my car done with the new paint, top and 
interior and a set of Chevy rally wheels with new BF 
Goodrich Radial T/A's for a total investment of less than 
$7,500. It might not have A/C or the headrest seats but it 
will be very close to the one advertised in Hemmings. I 
might even install the 1966 tele column and wood steering 
wheel if that would bring the value of the car up to 
Hemmings prices.
