GPR and West Coast Garage are teaming up to bring you an end of summer BBQ/Open House/Super Sale. September 18th from 9am till whenever both GPR and West Coast Garage will be open for you to check out our huge stash of parts. There will be two locations, about 5 minutes apart here in Santa Maria, Ca. GPR will have a free Tri Tip BBQ and sodas and maybe some cheap beer. West Coast Garage will have the wit and humor of the Krusty One.

Between the 2 of us we have enough parts to last a lifetime. Many 914, 914/6, 911 and 924 parts. If you are looking for anything in particular post it here and one of us will pipe in. Everything must go and no reasonable offer will be refused.

For GPR you may also just stop by any time between now and Sept 18th and take a look around. I am really motivated to get rid of everything that I have as far as used items. I also have lots of new stuff that will be sold at Super Sale Prices. Here are a couple pictures. This is just one of 2 warehouses that I have that will be open to look around in. Mark and I have already started opening all the boxes and separating things and laying them out so they can easily be gone threw. I am sure the sale will spill into the parking lot at my location.

If you have any questions just let me know. I am sure John will put in his .02 also.

Thanks

Another Pic of the same warehouse

Dats a lot of boxes...

Dats not even half of what we have.

Hmmm, a trip to Moab and a trip down south in the same month?

Sounds like a good idea to me. Bring the truck. Buy one item and we will fill the rest of the truck up for you at no cost (our choice of parts of course)!!!!!!!!

Quote "For GPR you may also just stop by any time between now and Sept 18th and take a look around."

Is this the same GPR (as in GPR Auto Parts) that was or IS in San Luis Obispo?

On Tank Farm Road?

Not too long ago I was in San Luis one Sunday in that area and went looking for GPR (on Tank Farm) and never found it.

Anyway, where are you located in either San Luis or Santa Maria?

Looking for a rear valance at the very least.

And after seeing and hearing that Mulholland Drive video posted recently, I realize I also want any six cylander engine

Damn that was awesome, but.....In my dreams!

Curt

We were in SLO but moved about 9 months ago to Santa Maria. I am sorry we missed you. I will look and see if i can scare up a rear valance and get back to you.

Just HAD to move close to my shop .....................

We're looking forward to seeing a lot of the So Cal, Mid Cal, and even Nor Cal 914 folks. Last chance to steal my stuff before GAF in October. After that, I'm not planning to do swap meets on the same scale as I have in the past. Bring a truck!

The Cap'n

Anyone from So Cal making the trip ? 200 miles from Orange County. Thinking of driving up Saturday and returning Sunday...

"200 miles from Orange County"? Nope. Trust me, we're LIGHT YEARS from Orange County ........................

The Cap'n

I vote for going up in Elliot's plane from OC. How much 914 crap can we get in that thing?

Unless something changes, I plan on driving up in the truck. Need to let the Krusty One beat the crap outta me. If I haven't bled to death, I will try to make it over to GPR.

Don't plan on spending the nite as the Mid-NorCal folks think their hotels are the Ritz.

225.9 miles from Riverslime.

Gimme a break! I've driven farther than that for lunch ...................... Of course, I've been known to fly 12 miles for lunch, too. We never even got the gear up.

The Cap'n

Mark and I are working our buts off and getting things ready. Spoke to John also and he is doing the same. Found some great stuff today. Got enough brake backing plates to give for to anyone who shows up. Also found about 16 boxes full of wiring harnesses. Lots of suspension and engine parts too. I will take pictures tomorrow to show the progress. Remember, the 18th is the BBQ but you can stop buy any time before that. I am here Monday through Friday from 8-6 and you can call me if you want to come buy on Saturday or Sunday. I will make the time for you.

For us poor smucks that can't come...get some kid power who likes to play on the internet, and have them put up a listing web site like Jeff Bowlsey - pic quantity price - with flat rate shipping included. I know "we" can clean up the rest of the stuff in short order.

Like, a good set of vertical window felt fuzzy strips for a 73? Both doors?
Good luck with the Open House!

I'll think about comming down. 4 hour drive though.... Now,.. what do I need???

BTW, can we have the address? And what time the food will be ready?

Sure, the address is as follows

GPR
312 Oak Street
Santa Maria, Ca 93454

The food will be ready about 11:30 and will go till it needs to but we will be open for browsing by 9 am for sure.

Just talked to my wife and she has offered to make Lumpia and Pansit. This is the real deal here.

Please come and take all this crap...I mean cool rare sought-after slightly used valuable parts off of our hands.


Bring a BIG truck.


For those of you unable to make the trek....too bad! You haven't lived until you've had Santa Maria style BBQ.

FYI I got three recommendations for place to stay Sat night if anyone is also thinking of driving home Sunday:
Of the three, The Rose Garden has a $72 rate and located at 1007 E Main St, I think this is not far from GPR. I'm looking into a coastal inn as well

The other 2 places were >$100

Jim, it is very close to me and to West Coast Garage.

Dude please, I live in the bar b que capitol of the world! Now stop screwing around and rustle me up a really nice S gear to send to the evil one.

That is ok, all the more for me.

I will see if I have as S gear and get back to you.

Here are a few update pictures of all the work that Mark and I ahve done.

Mark and I also made some special buys on some new items that we are going to have on special that weekend. Engine Gasket sets, clutches, flywheels, Bursch mufflers, M&K mufflers, Mahle P&C sets, Bilstein front inserts and rear shocks and the list goes on.

A bump for Jonathan

1st pic had a 914 seat that looked much better than mine, but 5 hours is just a little too long of a drive...

Shoe... sorry to split with you here buddy, but I was BORN and RAISED in Santa Maria... I've got Jocko's in my veins (literally)..

Unless you've split a beer battered oak fired chicken in a Peppertree parking lot, you haven't felt the hand of God touch your taste buds...

Rob...That ain't BBQ that's Grilled Chicken!!

You need you some good ole southern dry (or wet) pork ribs and a healthy side of pulled pork....Ummm

As you say it's in your veins.........same here my man same here!!

......Damn us Middle America guy's miss out on all the good stuff.....
Ya'll enjoy and as Bill had mentioned throw us others a bone after the weekend is over...

Ken

Hope you get a good turnout. I'm planning on leaving here around 6am Sat morning so I can get a parking spot......

Sweet mother That's a nice line of 914s

I need a 100 engine lids.

Smoking meat over low indirect heat ain't REAL Barbecue, it's baked/smoked cheap cuts of meat. Real Barbecue is meat roasted over a seriously hot fire, carefully controlled, and served the way the originators of the term (Vaqueros) "barbecue" did it ..............Rare.

The Cap'n

Carefull what you wish for!























Just kidding, you of all people know we are out of lids.

I'm planning on making the trek down for the day. Looks like you've got a pretty good stash of parts. It won't be any fun driving down in a pickup truck, but if i want any parts the teener ain't gonna do it.

I'm in the south south Bay area. If anyone in the area would like me to pick up some parts for them, let me know.

I'm going to be looking for a stock oil cooler replacement for my '75. Do you have any ?

Jim

I have new and used.

jonathan

Check out my vendor thread for some of the NEW items that will be on sale at the BBQ

Nine days remaining to make your plans and get yourself up here!

jonathan

Now that is a great idea.

Steve,
