For some time now, I've been wondering what a guy named Bill in Florida 
has been up to with an ad running month after month in the CC wanting to 
buy telescopic columns. My suspicions were confirmed this weekend when a 
friend who has had contact with the guy told me what he found out. Seems 
the guy is scavengerizing Corvairs for parts to sell to Corvette people. 
While I have no particular objection to selling common, plentiful 
Corvair parts to outsiders, I despise the selling of rare, desirable 
parts (particularly options) for non-Corvair uses. I know about the 
telescopic columns in particular, as I have a Corvette friend who's been 
wanting to buy a '67 tele column that I have. I have refused to sell it, 
but have sold a common, standard column to him so that he could repair 
the damage on one of his own rare columns.

For those of you who don't just how rare the '67-9 tele column is, they 
made 299 in '67, 199 in '68, and '299 in '69, a total of less than 800, 
which is around 1% of the run.

I feel that the Board should permanently ban this guy and post a 
permanent notice in the CC and CORSA webpage classifieds saying that the 
ads are for use by Corvair people only, and that any other uses will 
result in the advertiser being permanently banned.
