<VV> Corvair with 50 miles

[Mark Corbin]

ANY car can end up being "unmolested". Even a maxed-out top-of-the-line
car. Doesn't have to be a 500.

The odd thing about the Corvair hobby is the sheer numbers of 500's that
were stashed away, only to emerge years, and even decades, later as
unmolested originals. The '69's are especially true of this syndrome,
possibly understandably so when you look at the dynamics of the situation
at the time.

But even you state that it's "an excellent starting point." LOL
