<VV> '67 Telecolumn - '65-'65 Holy Cow

[Kent Sullivan]

Yep, and the Boyne switch fits first generation Firebirds too.

I heard from a NCRS parts expert that some of the stuff in the '63-6
Corvette tele column is unique and very hard to find... Which makes me
wonder why so many Corvair columns are getting sacrificed. 95% of a tele
column does not make a functioning assembly! Maybe there is something I'm
missing.

There's a number of parts in the Corvair tele columns, both '65-6 and
'67-9 designs that fit a Corvette. However, what the Corvette guys do is
rob only those parts and then pitch the rest. Thus it denies the Corvair
community of these accessories. Reason enough NOT to sell one to a known
Corvette person. Pretty soon, Corvair people are going to end up paying
Corvette prices for certain parts.

Speaking of which, I found out that the Boyne switch that is used in ALL
'67-9 Corvairs also fits '67-8 Corvettes. Which is why the new repops
are high dollar, and probably also the reason they are available at all.
Kind of a double-edged sword, so to speak. It's happening already.......
:o(

Now if only we could get the 'Vette people to NOT pitch the parts they
don't use..... At least leave us with SOMEthing....
