List,
While cleaning through my old high school and college "stuff" in the attic
today, I came upon an envelope filled with repair receipts and.....the original
window sticker, original dealer accessories sheet, and original dealer vehicle
invoice for my dad's 1966 Triumph Spitfire MkII.
It was purchased on August 12, 1966, new, from Werner Motors in Lansdale, PA.
Commission Number FC 77403L; Engine Number FC78882HE. I eventually bought
the car from my dad when I landed my first real job then traded it for a 1969
TR6 (new) in February, 1969!
Here's a summary of the vehicle and accessory costs:
Vehicle $2155.00
Freight 50.00
Service & Prep 50.00
Heater & Washer 53.00
White Sidewalls 25.00
Tonneau Cover 35.00
Wire Wheels 118.00
Seat Belts 25.90
Radio (AM) 75.00
Chrome Tail Pipe 1.75
The paperwork is like new. If anyone wants a digital photo of any of this,
let me know.
What's really funny is that the dealer was an
Imperial-Chrysler-Plymouth-Valiant-Triumph dealer.....whew - what a combo!!
Oh, after looking at each repair receipt I can see why my dad sold me the
car....as I now remember, these cars (my new 1969 TR6 included) even brand
spanking new, were not high quality products....ha, ha, ha....do we ever
learn......I think he used the money to buy a new VW bug.......
