<VV> Priced To Extinction

[Anarchyburger at aol.com]

Downgrading the worth of Corvairs ultimately detracts serious collectors  
from investing in them. Keeping resale values low discourages restoration and  
the market for Corvair parts and services. Young car buffs are discouraged  by 
others who inform them that "those cars aren't worth restoring" and  therefore 
they will fade away from car shows and the public eye even  faster.
 How can you blame anyone for selling a tele column for three times  the 
money to a Corvette guy rather than a thrifty 'vair owner. One day  there will be 
more tele columns than Corvairs to install them into anyway. Let's  face it, a 
telescopic steering column is probably worth $300-400.00 dollars but  if a 
Corvair owner doesn't want to spend that well so be it, the 'vette guys  will.
Corvair engines, steering boxes, columns, front ends, transaxles and  
"corporate" parts are commonly sold to others for use in vehicles other than  
Corvairs. If the Corvair vendors had to simply rely on the thrifty Corvair crowd  
they would be out of business.
