<VV> Have a Heart

[peter koehler]

If anyone out there wants to drive home from the 
Convention in Sterling Heights in a nice Corvair 
convertible, I have a special event that you might be 
interested in. Randy and Judy Hook from our Keystone 
Corvair Club in PA recently were forced to sell their two 
early model Corvairs. You see Judy has a heart ailment and 
is on a waiting list for a new heart to be transplanted at 
UPMC in Pittsburgh as soon as one becomes available. To 
qualify for financial aid for this life saving operation 
they could only have one licensed vehicle. Soooo, I have a 
nice Alabama 1963 Monza convert that will be sold at a 
"Silent Auction" in the parking lot at the convention. Any 
money collected over the opening bid will be returned to 
Randy and Judy as a gift. The opening bid will be exactly 
what I have in the car when it hits the Parking lot at the 
Sterling Inn. My goal is start the bidding at less than 
$1000. The car needs a repaint (white), but it is very 
solid. It has a newer black top and nice red seats (thanks 
to Larry Claypool - my buddy!). There will be a new 
Clark's red carpet in it and whatever else I can scrounge 
up as the 23rd draws near. The car has a good running 80 
HP engine with dual exhaust and a four speed trans. The 
way a silent auction works is that you look at the bid 
sheet and see what the high bid currently is. Put your 
name and your bid on the next line and wait to see if 
someone out bids you. This is even more fun than eBay!! 
See me at Sterling Inn from Tuesday through Saturday if 
you want any other info. Winning bid to be announced 
Saturday at 3PM. Thanks for the bandwidth and please, Have 
a Heart! - Caveman Pete in Slippery Rock
