<VV> Parts Needed for 1960 Bolivian Corvair

[Louis Armer]

Hey Bill, From reading some of Richard's posts 
and seeing his businessweb site, I assumed that he is not
destitute but merely lacking access to Corvair 
items and parts. Is this correct? Your post
wasn't very clear as to your reasons for the 
assistance. Please clarify a bit more.

Thanks,
Chuck Armer
