<VV> The Rising Price of Corvairs

[Mikeamauro at aol.com]

"...I might take the cake in this group as far as price paid. In  February 
I purchased from Eric Starkey 1969 Monza Convert. #2891. This car had  
21,000 original miles and is a very good example of a survivor. It is a very  
clean original well optioned car. ... I paid between 10 and 20K for this  car. 
Now how about the money people have put into their cars? I'm talking about  
the beautiful restorations that don't get to see the highways..."
 
Timothy, you are sorta' describing my 64 Spyder convertible. Since it was  
professionally restored--even though, mechanically, it's ready to drive  
anywhere--it only gets it "legs" stretched about every 30-days. I do this  to 
keep everything working correctly. Following the holidays, I'm seriously  
considering putting the Spyder up for sale (I've got to pull the documentation  
together, so I can prove what the car is really about). This is a car I've 
owned  since 1972; it is perfect in every way, but I've got two other 
Corvairs and  could use the room in the garage. I'll be asking more than what most 
people  think a Corvair is worth; as such, I may end up keeping it into my 
golden  years.
