<VV> Interesting Custom bodied Vairs- now BST GT

[Brown, David]

Yes, Matt, that would be the BST GT, made with 68 Corvair parts except
for the engine.  The last owner was a real flake.  He removed the drive
train to start a restoration project, but wasn't well equipped to do
much himself.  Once he realized it wasn't worth $50,000, and he wasn't
getting as much free help as he wanted, he left it parked outside (at a
friend's gas station?) to rot.  The last I heard, one of our members saw
it a couple of years ago & was turned off by the growing cancer &
figured it was going to be too expensive to repair.  It may have been
sent to the crusher by now.  I will see the last guy who had contact
with the car & owner on Monday & will ask him what he knows.  It will be
a real shame if it got scrapped.

Looks alot better than the last time I saw it!   BUT  anyone 
interested.....remember this an unfinished   FUTURISTIC   concept
car.....will take lots of 
$$$

Speaking of  Customs........what ever happened with the Custom STEEL
bodied LM  that was bought in TEXAS a few years ago.....Did the guy ever
get it 
roadworthy?   Cleaned up, etc.  Had a Turbo'd engine..was built by a GM

engineer...but in his garage....not at the factory....

Car was found on a trailer!  included in the price of $3500  AFAIR
