<VV> Thank you!... was: For Sale 1963 Corvair Corvan

[Chuck Kamas]

SOLD!

I want to thank you all for your help in helping me find a buyer for my 
van. I am very glad to say that this one has found a new home, and will 
not be scrapped. I especially want to thank the individual that 
forwarded this post to corvanitics!

Again,
Thanks,
Chuck
