<VV> CORVAIR REGISTRY & VINs from eBay, Craigs List, Hemmings, etc ?

[Charles Lee]

Correct... Many listed cars may not have VINs listed, but IF they do, we can 
diligently record them (accounting for the possibility that they may be 
wrong) for our registry.

It's a good source for more information than we would have without it, and 
help fill in gaps for our archive.

So, just because they don't always have the (correct) VIN, I would ask 
members to email someone (who ?) with any VIN they may encounter, just for 
historical purposes ?

It would be interesting for members who may find their old Corvair show up 
somewhere ?

Just an idea ...

Charlie
