[NoVa-Corvairs] Fw: Corvair for Sale

[63redbrier at cox.net]

Good morning!  As a follow-up to the auction, I went and there was a very poor showing for both the household furniture/stuff and Corvairs.  Nice day, too many other garage/estate sales in competition.  The '63 mentioned below, which was very solid (great battery box!), with a red interior, was sold for $700 or $725?  The yellow/black '64 Spyder Convertible did not sell and is still available for the right price.  The too-old to be an auctioneer started the bidding on this one for $10,000!  I overheard offers of $1700, then $2000 - 2500.  I was afraid with both cars on hidden rust/poor bodywork under the decent paint.  The Spyder did not have any of the wheelwell or rocker panel trim which emphasized the poor bodywork.  I met Harold and his wife, Barb, John Underwood's daughter, and she said there was also a few cars at a cottage in Southern Maryland which need to be sold.  I just spoke with Harold and there are two EM coupes, one with A/C.  One of them has the engine out, but its on the floor nearby.  They also have a '61 Cadillac to sell.  They are going to email me some photos.  Let me know if anyone is interested, and I'll forward them directly.  Enjoy!  Greg
