- Clarks in New England is by far the best source after you've exhausted
- all other possibilities. I've had:
- 1963 Monza Convertible
- 1963 Corvair 95 (the van with no windows)
- 1964 Monza Coupe
- 1966 Corsa Convertible
- 1963 Spyder
-
- I also used to live in the Orlando area (dunno how close that is to you)
- several years ago, and found that the local scrap yards had _tons_ of
- corvair parts. In fact it was in one of these junkyards that I found
- the only example of the corvair station wagon (forget the name... Lakewood?)
- that I've ever seen. Try the ones out state Rte 50 and the ones down
- Orange Blossom Trail towards Kissimmee. Dunno how many of these places are
- still in business, but they kept me running for quite a while.
