RE: [T3] Austin TX anyone????


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?
