<VV> Corvin8er

[JEFFREY BREKKE]

It is amazing how those who don't know the whole story can jump to conclusions and assume the car builder destroyed a perfectly good Corvair. I salvaged mine from a field probably slated for the scrap yard. At my first Corvair show with my V6 Buick powered 65 I over heard a fellow asking another friend if he had seen that orange LM abortion while I was waiting in line to pay my registration for the show! Came home with my first first place trophy anyway!
