It seems different threads end up talking about some Vellios parts. It seemed he had quite a few good ideas for 914s, mostly 10 years ago it seems. I heard that he had pretty much retired, and I last talked to him a few years ago. Any of you California types know what he's up to? It seems some of the conversions parts that are becoming available are similar to his ideas. Neat guy from what I remember - he was very nice to talk to.

Be advised...I NEVER did a Porsche deal with him. It was Type I VW stuff back in the late 70s and early 80s....

We even spoke the same language...being Greek descent. He was slippery and a bit of a con artist...but then again so was OTTO in Venice....con artist that is....OTTO was full on redneck......YMMV.
