40 Corvairs and parts for individual sale
This was recently brought across the SFBA desk and worth a share. 40 individual Corvairs for sale. Long term storage. We have not reached out to verify, but we believe this is longtime SFBA member Bob Langdon’s collection. Bob passed last year after a long battle with cancer. The collection is located in the Sierra…
