	I read your question regarding Corvair parts suppliers:

	Wall's Corvair Underground
	10818 NW ST Helens Hwy
	Portland, OR  97231
	(503)283-2610  or  (800)825-VAIR
	(Similar to Clark's)

	For N.O.S. parts, try:

	Bill Cotrofeld
	U.S. Route 7
	P.O. Box 235
	E. Arlington, VT  05252
	(802)375-6782

	Also, consider joining CORSA (the Corvair Society of America)-
	there is no better source for parts, info, and 'Vairs...

	If you want more info on CORSA, or just want to chat, feel free
	to e-mail me!

  I have a few OLD pictures and brochures of Chevrolet, Jaguar, Daimler, etc.
  They're all in great condition and were probably sent to prospective customers
  as a sales pitch. They date back to the '20s and '30s. 

  Is there a market out there for this stuff? If so, who, and how much are they
  worth? I'm considering offloading them. They belonged to my grandfather - they
  say he enjoyed some of the best cars in his days!


  Any information can be directed to me via email:

Subject: Is it worth restoring a '63 Ford PU?
News-Software: VAX/VMS VNEWS 1.4-b1  
Organization: University of Utah Computer Center
Date: 18 Nov 1992 21:16 MST  

I have a '63 Ford F-100 pickup.  Still runs, in fact we still drive it
two or three times a week.  The 292 engine has a worn cam lobe, so
I'll probably have to replace the camshaft.  The body will for sure
need a new paint job.  The main problem is the rust on the chassis, 
especially around the driver's side door.  The frame is still solid
and shows no signs of rust, but the joint where the body wall meets
the floor is so rotted that the rest of the body is starting to sag.
In fact, the supports under the driver's side floor are starting to 
push up through the floor.

Other than that it needs some side mirrors and a horn on the wheel.
So the question I have for this audience is:  How much would it 
cost to make it look good again?   A *ballpark* figure.  Not show
quality, but presentable.  And yes I plan to do the work myself.

I bought a new '67 GT fastback with the 390 engine in late '66. Took delivery
around the beginning of November, '66.  It was the first car I actually
ordered the way I wanted it.

The GT package consisted of the following:   (I hope I can remember)

		Front disk brakes (standard on all 390's)
		Larger sway bars, (front & rear)
		F70X14 Frirestone Wide Oval tires
		Driving lamps mounted in the grill
		Dual chrome exhaust extensions on each pipe (dual exhausts)
		Tachometer mounted in the dash
		Wood grain steering wheel
		Floor console
		Over head console w/map lights
		GT emblems and rocker panel stripes
		GT snap open gas cap

A few months after I took delivery Ford recalled all of the 390's to replace
the front springs with stiffer ones to accommodate the additional weight of
the big block. 

Everything was included in the GT package for "X" amount of dollars except
the 390 engine. The 390, 335 HP engine was $153.00 extra. I did opt for the
louvered hood w/turn indicators (not part of the GT package). Also, the four
speed was an option. The car cost me around $3,300, (what a bargin!)

Boy, I could go on and on about this car .. a real fun car and pretty damn
quick. I sold it in '71.

Probably almost impossible to get yourself one in North America.
There are still quite a few around in France, though...

    Charter for rec.autos.antique, an unmoderated newsgroup

			    may differ in various circles, for the
			    purpose of this newsgroup, an antique auto

			    ago.  For purposes of preventing flames,
			    we'll say approximately.

	Actually, aren't you thinking about the 2CV?  The Duck?  I think that
it is the one that was originally introduced in 1934, it has a Top Speed of 
around 65 - 70 mph.  It is only made in Portugal (from what I know) and not
available new here.  Grey market might be a diferent story.  I have no clue as
to where to find out about them.  I think that they are cute, but have no power.

	But I still love em.....  :-)

IMHO I place a low value on kit cars. They're relatively worthless as an
investment, and they're almost as expensive as a real colectible. Quality
varies widely. I would avoid any sleazoid hard-sell salesman. Plus it 
takes a fair amount of time, extra parts, and skill to build a car.

Personally, I would consider looking at your "second favorite" collectible
car if you can't afford the Porsche. There are a lot of "interesting" old
cars out there that aren't terribly expensive.

It seems I missed the vote and creation of this group. My news reader 
doesn't wait very long for me to read things. I didn't even get to see
the original posting of the above quoted reply (this puzzles me). This 
group just magically appeared one day in my unsubscribed list. I have no 
idea how long it was there before I saw it and subscribed. 

Anyway, I wouldn't want to exceed the charter of the group. I would,
however, like to know just how strict it is. My Healey, for example,
would have distressed a purist when I first got it. It is a 3000 MkII,
originally a tri-carb. When I got it, it had a carb setup from a MkIII,
and a front grill from a Mk1 or 100-6. I don't plan on changing these
back to original form, but I do plan to put electronic ignition on it,
and a modern, compact fuel pump. Are these sorts of things out of bounds 
for this group, or are y'all more concerned about the folks who replace
the Jaguar XJ6 engine with a Chevy V8?

Hi all!

I'm currently restoring a 1969 Chevy Impala convertible, and am having
trouble finding the serial number on the transmission.  It is a Turbo
Hydramatic 350, and I want to verify that the numbers match.  It's on
my garage floor, so the search would be easy except for a heavy coat of
grunge.  I'd rather not scrape off any more goo onto the floor than is
necessary.  Can somebody point me in the right direction for the SN of
the beast?

First, thanks to all for creating this newsgroup...

Lately I've been wondering what the effects are of these pollution  
control programs that some states have that buy up older cars just to  
get them off the road.  I don't know of any such program locally  
(Maryland), but I did hear that Virginia is considering it.  I'd like  
to get some opinions from states that do have such programs.  More  
specifically:
1. What is done with the cars?  Immediate total destruction? Or is an  
attempt made to salvage useable parts first?
2. How are the availability and prices of the older cars affected?

Hey, folks,
	Pardon me if this is an inexcusably silly question, but
does anyone have any information on the Citroen 7CV? I know they
were introduced in 1934. Until when were they made? How rare 
are they? Are any available in the US, and what might one expect
to pay, were any available? Where might I find a good source of 
information about these cars? Just curious.

Does anyone out there have a 67 or 68 Merc Cougar preferably XR7 with
a 4 barrel carb (maybe they only came that way anyway) in fairly good
condition they want to sell me?  It must be drivable.

E-mail or phone me at home (after work) (818) 792-0603
thank you

it's a peugeot 403 cabriolet, an early '60s model [don't have the
exact year; probably unimportant].  while not particularly valuable,
it _is_ extremely rare, which caused the producers much anguish and
dismay as the series dragged on and on...
