I want to say that Kevin's got several, and most of them are in really nice/restored shape. I think there was a time (maybe still) that we had 2 or 3 folks that had several really nice corvairs.

Many years ago, I wanted to buy one. At the time I was young and poor and gave it a miss because I knew that parts would be (relatively) expensive and hard to get (not in stock at every FLAPS).
