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.
