You have really out done yourself! First you met up with the second owner and got a lot of info and vintage pics then you met the ORIGINAL owner! Man that must have been cool. You are truly a class act!

BTW little Gavin looks like a member from Durran Durran! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Great story Darren,and now I know why you were absent Saturday.
Did he have anymore pix or Original parts for you?

It's funny. The guy said he never took a picture of the car. In fact we were laughing about it cause when I showed up there he took a picture and said "Well I guess this is the first picture I ever took of it".
There were only 2 items that he took of the car. Care to guess the first one?? Smog! Then he replaced the heads after getting a call from the dealership. Get this. He took the car in for an charging problem check up. They called back and said they had to tow the car cause the mechanic pulled out a bunch of studs during a "road test". I imagine he was checking to see of the tach would go to 11. Anyway the parts are long gone.
And yes when I took the picture of my kid I was thinking the same thing. Mike Score Jr. (Lead Singer of the Seagulls). [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img]

No they were press in. He commented that he tried to get a set that were screw in from his brother-in-law (who worked the dealer parts counter). But none were available yet.
