<VV> Falcon restoration, was: New slogan - "She's real fine, my four twenty eight" ?

[Robby]

What would be wrong with restoring a Falcon?  The Falcon folks probably
wonder why anyone would restore a Corvair!!!!  As the owner of both, they
are both worth it in my view.  Maybe this is the reason there is waning
interest in Corvairs - folks like you are so narrow minded that you run off
would be enthusaists !!!  Corvairs are not the only cars worth owning just
in case you didn't realize this.
