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.

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.


You've gotta be shitting me. I've only had good dealings with OTTO and wouldn't hesitate to send people to him with parts needs. (Has he changed from the past?)

Don't get me wrong, you probably know him personally and I've only dealt with him a few times and he was more than fair with me on those occasions.
