<VV> Corvair GrandSport Drawing

[Bruce Schug]

I have a screen shot of this drawing which was for sale on ebay on  
12/21/07. Unfortunately, I didn't find another similar drawing. I  
still think there was more than one of these "concept" drawings for  
sale at the time.

The screen shot only shows the drawing itself and doesn't include who  
was selling it or anything else. Still, I'm sure this is a novice  
drawing, not a GM drawing.
