I need help really bad !!!!
I got the fever really bad... Got the Craigs List Fever...
Need a Fix...
Is it a '62 4 speed Monza Coupe with an older restro but looks good....
Or a '64 500 Coupe with 3 speed and new interior and several year old paint ( Oh nice looking ! ) Love the base cars...
Or a '61 Lakewood that has a 4 spd, original paint but poor and needs interior, runs good...
Or do I let the fever pass and throw the money at my '60 Sedan....

Re: I need help really bad !!!!
The real answer is to put the money into your 60.
Their terminal uniqueness deserves to be preserved.
If you buy another Corvair the two will breed.
As they are just like bunny rabbits that way.

Re: I need help really bad !!!!
Now... it is obvious to me what is happening...
There are 9 Corvairs. 5 Fieros, 1 Ford, 1 Lincoln, 1 Oldsmobile, 1 Buick, 1 Jaguar, 1 Edsel and 1 ALF Fire Truck in my compound... They are Breeding! I just cannot figure to whom the parents are of the Edsel. It has to be that some one came in at night and fooled around with the Fire Truck !

Re: I need help really bad !!!!
After many hours of deep thought and reflections, I am leaning toward the '64 - 500 Coupe. Paint is good, power-train runs nice, new tires and seat covers, would be a nice driver. Also the basic models in good condition are hard to find anymore. The non-syncro first gear 3 speed is also hard to find these days. My first Corvair was a '60 with that box, was a pain until someone showed me how to double clutch it.

Maybe the air is too thin in Colorado.

Have you ever noticed that their stuff is and your is stuff?
5 Fieros and a Buick???? And an Oldsmobile???? (Couldn't make up your mind? ) And an Edsel!
Worth listening to again, and if you haven't heard it, it will, at the very least, be interesting...

OOP's -- While leaving I saw that I didn't list all my wheeled Stuff.... Cad Eldorado - my fathers last car - sinking in the mud - Travel Trailer - car trailer - riding mower - two pushing mowers ( one for parts ) - Little red wagon for my grand child - wheelbarrow for moving stuff... and maybe another '64 Vair?
And only 1/4 of my land surface is covered.
