<VV> Corvin8er

[ScottyGrover at aol.com]

The amusing thing about this comment is that the past President of CORSA  
West (and the man in charge of the club's Concours d'Elegance and this 
years's  Fan Belt Toss) drives his daughter's LM coupe with a 215 CID Olds 
aluminum V8 in  the engine compartment.  Needless to say, the SCG-type dude with 
his  caveman special doesn't say a word about THIS man's wheels.

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!
