I posted to the Stock Corvair Group about this car. In the following  
you can see my original post and Hank Kaczmarek and CORSA Concourse  
Chair Duanne Luckow's comments:




Bruce,

Hank is absolutely correct.  This Corvair has been altered, restored  
in areas noted below.  It is far from being 100% original.  It is a  
nice job, however falsly stated to Ebay potential buyers.  I have sent  
Tommy, the seller this note regarding the 1963 Corvair.  Also see  
Tommy (wrxin17) has negative feedback from a past buyer about another  
misrepresented car in history  Buyers beware!  .

eBay sent this message to Duanne Luckow (64rampside).

This member has a question for you

Dear wrxin17,

Tommy,
I have carefully read your informative description and very closely  
viewed the photos. You are misrepresenting this Corvair to put it  
bluntly. It is not in the original 100 percent state. The photos speak  
the truth.
1. Carpet is reproduction in front. Can tell from the wrinkles around  
the accelerator pedal.
2. Poor masking job around the vin number
3. Not the typical factory red overspray under the bottom side of car.
4. Spiral shocks should be painted grey.
5. Engine compartment is not done correctly, meaning the gobs of  
sealant are missing and overspray should be evident on the deck lid  
hinges.
I am the current National Corvair Society of America Concours Head  
Judge. I have owned and seen original Corvairs in the past and helped  
placed them into classes for judging along with Larry Claypool of  
Frankfort ILL.
I would highly recommend you amend your description on Ebay. It is a  
beautiful car, just overstated for potential buyers. Duanne
