Glenn was still working there when I was working there 5 years ago. He'll probably be there until they close down or he dies. When they moved to their current location, they had to move all the cars too. Glenn told me that because of a lack of time, and no demand, they crushed 3 notchbacks and 1 type 3 Ghia.

I was in Austin a few times in the 80s and actually stopped in there once. I met "Glenn" who was the used parts foreman and showed me around a bit. It looked like they had quite a bit of stuff, but he said there was virtually no demand for type 3 parts. I wish I could have proven him wrong by buying a bunch of stuff, but I was flying home the next day and really didn't need anything (kind of like "carrying coals to Newcastle.") Is Glenn still there? - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
