Re: VIN # and the '78 & whitewalls vendor..

[Yevgheny Khanin <ykhanin@ykhanin-iil.intel.com>]

Alan, folks,

According to the WCM Glovebox Edition Catalog 17, the list goes on as
follows:

1973     313 2000 001
1974     313 2500 001

Question:
My friend is looking for whitewalls for his Ghia. Can anyone recommend a
vendor?

Gratefully,
