<VV> VirtualVairs Digest, Vol 118, Issue 51

Joe: IIRC, all of the Phoenix models were signed by John. They did a Fitch
Sprint also in a couple colors.  I tried to get them to do a Yenko Stinger,
but to no avail.  Imagine that!

Again, IIRC, there's been an ad in a recent Communique from the
manufacturer.  You could ask them...

I do not remember what mine cost.  Some things are best unremembered.
VBG!!!  I suspect his minimum was what he/we paid for them. 

Speaking of models, I got my Nov flier from Squadron (formally Squadron
Shop) in Texas yesterday.  On last pages they have announced AMT is
reissuing their '69 Corvair (AMT894) for US$27.54 and their 1969 CheZoom
Corvair Funny car (AMY 973) for US$28.49.  The box art shown for the non
funny car has the Fitch roof, alloy rims and head rest depicted.  So it can
be built as a custom.  This kit has been reissued several times, and it is
unknown by me if it can be built totally stock.   I do not remember the
funny car kit at all.  Iis not pictured.  But there were several Corvair
funny cars in the NHRA back in the day, so who knows what is on the inside
of the box.  I'll probably have to get them just to satisfy my
curiosity...and to add to that particular collection of Corvair stuff.  Like
I don't have more than enough!       

Historically Yours
              James Rice

Just went for the day - to 24 hrs. of Daytona HSR race(s).  Saw a  Fitch 
model at a vendor in the infield.  It was #187 of 192(?) if I remember
right, and autographed by John.  Had a $195 price on it but said he would
take $150.  I declined.  I remember this subject coming up probably on here
- awhile back, but didn't know how many were signed nor the price.  I had
already bought a couple of other trinkets so had to pass.  Does anyone know
how many were signed and price?  I have his  card and it probably didn't
sell.
