<VV> '63 Spyder Convertible on eBay

[Shelrockbored at aol.com]

Barnum said it best.
 
I worked on a 63 convertible (it wasn't a Spyder) that needed engine  and 
transmission work.  The electrical system was a botch  job.  It had been 
cosmetically repaired but that was all.  The owner  had paid 10 grand for it.  
What was worst of all is that it was about to  assume the V configuration 
(which is common to so many convertibles left to  rust) and the owner could 
find on one who would do the necessary welding.   No transmission shop would 
touch the gear box.  It was too far gone.   There were many other things wrong 
with it too numerous to mention.  The  car wasn't worth $50.00.  He simply 
did not know what to look for.
 
For $29000 the car HAD BETTER be in MINT condition.  For that amount  of 
money one could buy a brand new car.
 
What do they say about...
 
money burning a hole in a pocket
 
or
 
a fool and his money
 
You get the drift.

Well I  must say it is a well documented restoration with what appears to be
the  best of anything. And a very desireable piece.
I am surprised they listed  it with all the mud on it though?

In any event, now anyone with an  early Corvair be it a 4-door or a base
model will think it is also worth  that much. Every time a vair sells for 
big
money everyone thinks theirs are  made of gold.
