<VV> "structural integrity"

[Wrsssatty at aol.com]

<My problem is with structural integrity (or lack there of) with a rag top.  I
like a roof with an old car as I feel it does a great deal to "solidify" the
car.  This can be especially important when old metal starts to get rusty.  I
have been told in the past that the door pillar that exists in a 4 door makes
it the stiffest platform of all.

I think
that my Canadian made four door is a rare commodity indeed - as it was one of
less than 900 built in 65>

What door pillar?  If your Corvair was built in '65 it's a late model and a 
hardtop and therefore doesn't have a B pillar!  If structural integrity is all 
that important to you and you want a Corvair, get an early 4-door.
