<VV> Am I nuts or is this lunacy?

YOU aren't the one who's nuts! This is typical of someone who really has no clue as to what he has. If he's looking for an investment to get a return on, I suggest he look elsewhere. My pop just finished a 5 year restoration on a '64 Spyder coupe that was stripped, dipped, and rebuilt from ground up. He "invested" (tongue in cheek) $20K in it, and it appraised at $15K. So I don't know what's more laughable: a '64 Monza with an opening bid of $15K or a '64 Monza with a Buy It Now for $25K. Just my $.02.

OK, granted I'm a bit of a Corvair newbie...but I've been shopping for
one for quite some time, and as you all know..I bought one last
week....but....is this EVEN realistic?

Holy cripes, man.  One thing I learned being an Edsel driver is you
never expect a RETURN on an old car investment...
Oh...and even I realize there are no 4 cylinder 'Vairs.
Am I nuts? Or am I imissing something here?
