Do I or don't I...........?  Group: Members Posts: 5,899 Joined: 24-March 06 From: SE PA, near Philly Member No.: 5,765 Region Association: North East States  |
I took delivery of my 72 1.7 in August of '72. The 2.0's were on the lot when I took delivery. Couldn't afford it, but the dealer offered to take the Fuchs of of one & put hem on my car for 200 bucks. Couldn't afford it (at the time, I didn't like them either).
Two years later, the delership changed hands. I was heavilly involved with PCA & courted the new owner. We made buds of each other & I liked his approach. I'd bought a 70E Sporto in between & they did right by me on maintenance. Then (yes, I did it) I became enamored with the 924. This dealer had a one-armed salesman (Tim) who could scare the hell out of you! Lost the arm from the elbow down in Vietnam, but was a Titan behind the wheel. Bought the car & never regretted it (until it was killed in an accident). Underpowred (where have we heard that), but a great auto-x car in the day. Two years of love & I sold it to yhe guy who blew my E engine! Never heard about again, but won a bunch of auto-x trophies with it. |

Was this the You Been Had dealership? That was a poor nick name for one dealership in the Philly area. I can think of another who made a name in racing. Pat, you'll have to share more of these stories Saturday.
