Hi, Jim: we removed the Monza ad. The reason we were not advertising it
is because we have decided to donate it to KNME. It will be auctioned by
COPART Auto Salvage Auction in Albuquerque. Sorry I didn't give you a
heads up sooner, but hopefully the word can be circulated to be watching
for noitice of the auction. I understand that the auction will be held
in 4 to 8 weeks. The car has a box with a new right side thermostat, a
new backup ligtht switch, and a new oil filter, all from Clarks.
COPART picked up the car this afternoon. Thanks for all your work.
Hopefully the car can wind up with one of the CNM members.
Truly, Dick Foster

AVAILABLE: My wife and I have started a small machining business here
in Rio Rancho. We thought that the people doing restoration
of Corvairs could use some custom machining from time to
time. We don't do regular automotive machining like
cylinders and brakes etc. We can do most other small metal
parts, repairing parts, making parts, or modifying parts. If
you find time please take a look at our website to find out
more about us. If you think your members might make use of
our services, please consider adding us to your website
links and/or newsletter.
Thanks,
Mike and Cindy Meulendyk

AVAILABLE: 185/13 tires for Corvairs
Wendell has reported that he talked to the people at A B Tire,
where he has often bought tires. They assured him that tires
in the size of 185/13 for Corvairs are still available. If
they are not in stock they will order them for you. If you
need tires for your Corvair, give them a call. I don't know
the name brand or aspect ratio or tread pattern of the tires,
but Wendell says they are good.

The New Jersey "FANBELT" reprints this article about tires:
The End of 13-Inch Tires
by Ken Maxwell, Louisville, KY
Well, it's finally happened. I can no longer get the P185/80R13 tires for my
Corvair.
I work for a large tire company with a huge warehouse and we are direct with all
major manufacturers. Firestone informed us yesterday that their FR380 tire is on
national backorder and "there are no plans for future production." Hankook has
discontinued its H714 tire and Kumho has discontinued its 795 tire. Cooper has
discontinued its Alpha 365 tire. Tire Rack and Tire Discounters don't list any
13 inch tires except for trailer tires (don't use those).
I searched all over the internet and was able to find a leftover set of five
FR380s in Oregon which I ordered. If you think that you will have a need for
13-inch tires for your Corvair any time soon, I would recommend you check with
your local tire supplier as soon as possible to see if they have some stashed
away. The only alternative that we will soon have are classic reproductions like
the BFG "Silverstone" tire with a very wide whitewall that runs $173 each! I
just paid $47 each, plus shipping, for the Firestones.
The future isn't much better for those of us that have 14-inch tires either.
Tire makers are dropping those sizes as fast as they can. There simply isn't
enough of a market to make it worth their while to manufacture them. The 13-inch
tire used to be the entry level size but now the 16-inch tire has that position.
Editor's Note: Clark's Corvair Parts has, as of this writing, a good inventory
of the P185/80R13 Hankook tires with the 3/4" whitewall. But Clark's admits that
the tires are getting harder to find, and suggests that you order now before
they are gone. Clark's part number is C12601 and the price is $75.10 each.
