[NoVa-Corvairs] Checking out a car in LA

[Daniel Goldberg]

Actually, I think I may pass on the car in LA.  Bidding
ends tonight and I'm loath to purchase a car sight
unseen.  

This semester I took what is recognized as the most
demanding course offered by the school.  Next semester
should be a little easier, since I only have to take 9
credits.  Then again, I also need to find a job.  Does
anyone have any connections with local law firms?  No,
really: does anyone have any connections with local law
firms?  I hope I'm not being too subtle!

A guy by my house offered to sell me a '68 Corvette,
327, 4 speed, t-tops -- no price, but fairly cheap (the
interor could stand some work, and #'s don't match). 
Big problem though: it leaks like a seive.  I sat in
the drivers seat while the owner shot a garden hose at
the car -- I was drenched!  There's also a leak on the
passenger side into the footwell.  If the floors are
shot, that's one thing; if the frame is ruined I
couldn't buy the car in good conscience.  Does anyone
have any expertise with early C4 'Vettes?

Who am I kidding?  I already have to many "projects"
and too little time.  Still, I'd like to have a look: 
a '68 Vette would be awesome.  (So would a running
Corvair.)
