<VV> 62 Corvair Spyder on EBAY

[Chris Busch]

On my 1966 Corvair turbo (which I am selling), the engine ticks louder after
sitting during the winter and takes a few minutes for the lifter to quiet
down.  If there is no quieting down, then I'd be worried.  My previous Corsa
that I had did the same thing, and my brother's 1970ish Ford truck did the
same thing.

It sounds like a lifter, but I would be real hesitant to make that
assumption a basis for my bid.  Given the prospect of engine work and
the ominous "rust under the quarter panels" comment, I would be pretty
skitish, especially when the opening bid is $5k.
