[SCG] '63 w/red trunk?

[dal]

Bruce,

Hank is absolutely correct.  This Corvair has been altered, restored in areas noted below.  It is far from being 100% original.  It is a nice job, however falsly stated to Ebay potential buyers.  I have sent Tommy, the seller this note regarding the 1963 Corvair.  Also see Tommy (wrxin17) has negative feedback from a past buyer about another misrepresented car in history  Buyers beware!  .

 eBay sent this message to Duanne Luckow (64rampside).

 This member has a question for you

Dear wrxin17,

Tommy, 
I have carefully read your informative description and very closely viewed the photos. You are misrepresenting this Corvair to put it bluntly. It is not in the original 100 percent state. The photos speak the truth. 
1. Carpet is reproduction in front. Can tell from the wrinkles around the accelerator pedal. 
2. Poor masking job around the vin number 
3. Not the typical factory red overspray under the bottom side of car. 
4. Spiral shocks should be painted grey. 
5. Engine compartment is not done correctly, meaning the gobs of sealant are missing and overspray should be evident on the deck lid hinges. 
I am the current National Corvair Society of America Concours Head Judge. I have owned and seen original Corvairs in the past and helped placed them into classes for judging along with Larry Claypool of Frankfort ILL. 
I would highly recommend you amend your description on Ebay. It is a beautiful car, just overstated for potential buyers. Duanne
