<VV> The Rising Price of Corvairs

[Bill Elliott]

About 7 years ago, I bought an almost completely original '67 4sp 
convertible... all records since new, 2 owners (both GM employees), 54k, one 
paint job circa 1976, maybe a carpet kit and a little repair to both the 
front seat upholstery. Original everything else, including the top. I paid 
what I thought was a very reasonable price (over $5k but under $10k)

At least I thought it was reasonable... until I found the cancelled check 
where owner #2 had purchased it from owner #1 in 1976. So assuming the worst 
case, it needed paint, carpet, and the top corners of the front seats were 
split. It had to otherwise be in nearly perfect shape, was under 10 years 
old, and I think had like 30k on it.

The price? $125.00

Ouch!
