<VV> Re:No Corvair - advise?

[Zane Brock]

I stand corrected on Dodge trucks. They went from the bottom of the barrel
in the 70's and 80's to a dang fine truck. Their biggest problem with other
vehicles during the 80's on was the use of Mitsubishi drive trains and other
parts which were under engineered for the product. An example is the Caravan
which could not get past 60K miles without blowing oil from a pot metal
timing chain guide. It would wear down sending metal shavings throughout the
engine. Chrysler has led the industry in design and forward marketing but I
am still wary of the reliability of the non-truck products. I do though miss
my cherry 1976 Duster. 

Gary I prefer you trade me a BMW. I am on my forth and still no complaints.

Well Zane, You can hear it now.
I bought a 96 Ram pickup "Indy Ram" in 1996, have not had to do anything 
other than regular maintenance and to me it is a keeper. 
Satisfied..................you bet!
I have a 92 Dakota 4x4 for a winter beater, only had 150,000 miles on it 
when I got it. For a MOPAR, that's just "broken in".
I came from a Ford family, still have a soft spot for the T-Birds, and own 
three.
The only thing from the General I own are Corvairs, and in my opinion the 
Corvair was the last good car they made.....
Over the years, every time I owned a GM car, I spent more time fixing than 
driving them....................
I've said it before, I wouldn't cross the street for a free Chevy 
product...............
Tell you what, when someone gives you that free mopar, I'll swap you for the

free Chevy.....................

Drooling and hoping for a new Challenger.............................
