<VV> looking to buy a Spyder coupe

[shortle]

Hi Ray,
If I were you I would probably wait until the Sturbridge convention and/or the Detroit Homecoming as I know you are planning to be at both of these events. Also, I noticed an ad in the newest Communique where the gentleman (Chris I think) says he has a lot of cars and parts and will be vending in Sturbridge. He asks you contact him with any wants or needs so that he can have it available for pickup. IMO, if I was looking for a Spyder, I would wait for a '64 for obvious reasons. Good luck and I look forward to seeing you in Mass. and Mich.
