<VV> PF4 story

[J R Read_HML]

Hey Hank,

They are charging $9.00+ for the Wix filters around me - Western suburbs of
Chicago.  You gave him a DEAL!

I asked about a case price at a couple of the FLAPS and get the answer that
they only get onesies and twosies in and that THEY don't buy them by the
case.  Sounds fishy to me.

So, who has the best price on the Wix filters?  Anyone know?  Can we put a
group together and buy a bunch?  Is that even a good idea since we would
then have to ship them all over the place to VV folk.

Does not want to use up his stock of PF4s

> Yesterday I got one of those calls I get about 2x per week. My inventory
at Victory Chevrolet still shows we have 9 PF4 Oil filters in stock on the
nationwide locator. Well, they're here, but they're mine. I connived them
from the AC Delco distribution centers across the state the day I found out
that they were discontinued. there were 30, but I have been buying 6-8 every
month and taking them home.

> Anyway, I gets this call from a guy asking about the filters..and I gave
him the answer my boss does when folks call inquiring.

> H:they're not for sale, have several Corvair guys in the area, and I am
one of them.
>
> Caller tells me that he is building a car for Concours, and can't find any
readily available. I tell him about the Wix 51038 and the NAPA gold 1038
(same filter). But he would like to get one PF4.

> So I ask him the first hurdle question. "ARE YOU A CORSA MEMBER??" and he
answered Yes. first Hurdle jumped.
>
> Then I asked him--the 2nd hurdle. "Are you on Virtual Vairs by any
chance?" --and he answers Yes.
>
> So then I ask, do you know who you are talking to?? and he says no, so I
tell him.....and after the big OH!!!, I broke down and sold him one at the
old price of 7.00 plus shipping.
>
> And I didn't wait for him to send me the paypal payment before shipping,
so Mark, please do ASAP....

> Another benefit of being a member of our happy little group.....It worked
for Mark in Columbus.
