<VV> Does anyone know the seller of this '64 Rampside on eBay?

[Kent Sullivan]

Thanks. Definitely looks like the seller is not a CORSA member but he might
still be a Corvair person... At least around here, we have a lot of people
who aren't "joiners". I assumed by "dual two-barrels" that he meant a 140 HP
engine transplant. It's possible to do this with low-profile air cleaners
(or raising the engine lid).

My 2004 Roster does not show any CORSA members in Oscoda. A check of  
the CORSA database also shows no one in Oscoda (I think this database  
includes anyone who is, or was ever a member of CORSA or a CORSA  
chapter). It could be a matter of the owner not having an Oscoda  
mailing address or something, but my bet is the owner is not a Corvair  
person.

Contrary to what another post has said, you could certainly contact the  
buyer.

It would certainly be good to get this Rampside on the registry. I see  
it has the rare dual two-barrel carb option. Of course we know from  
experience that owners of Rampsides with this option are usually not  
Corvair people ;-)
