Wow....A Corvair for $16 grand. I have visions of a Groucho Marx 
routine....Obviously, this hobby is made up of atleast 2 distinct groups...The Speculators 
and the Utilitarians.....

Subject: <VV> 1969 Corvair #5996

I sold Corvair #5996 with 17k miles to a MD based collector last year. (He 
also bought 5233 with 13 original miles on it from me) He has consigned / 
traded the car to this dealer. I understand that he is reducing his 
collection. The car was owned by Dick Shank at one time, I purchased it 
from a collector in VA. The car is in exceptional condition, there is no 
rust anywhere on the vehicle - it has never been in an accident. The 
interior, which is completely original is close to perfect. The engine, 
which is the factory supplied 140hp runs perfectly and all smog equipment 
is intact. The paint is LeMans blue and was resprayed before I purchased 
the car - it is a good respray but it is showing some signs of age. There 
are no significant chips or scratches. If you are looking for a nearly 
perfect, original Monza - 4th from the last produced - this is a great 
car. I suspect they will need to hold the price at 16k+ to recover the 
purchase cost.
