I'm ASTOUNDED to hear a Chevy dealer anywhere has a "Corvair guy" anymore.
It's like finding a Civil War veteran. This guy must have been 15 when he
became a Corvair guy. I think this Corvair guy should be given an honorary
life membership in CORSA. I wonder if he DRIVES a Corvair still. He must be
older than ME!
     You're a lucky girl, Kathryn - stick with this group. At the very
least, you'll find an eager buyer for your wonderful legacy. Better than
that, if you keep it, you'll find us helpful in partaking of the world of
enjoyment that's to be had from your father's treasure.

I have just inherited my father's 1966 Corvair that he brought brand new and
has less than 30k original miles on it.  He parked it in the garage in 1983
and it hasn't moved since, but working fine at that time.  Other than
obviously new tires, what kind of repairs do you think I'm looking at to get
it running?  I'm in Maine and the car is in Maryland and I'm not into
towing, so I'll be driving it back. Also, I remember my Dad always used
aviation fuel.  This may be a dumb question, but if I can't find aviation
fuel, what type do I use?  Any suggestions would be helpful.  Also, I found
a Chevy dealier nearby in MD who has "one Corvair guy" who can check it out
for me.  The car is in Crofton, MD if any of you have any suggestions for a
better place to take it other than the dealer.

Thanks.
Kathryn
