You had to of, my original owner lived in Mecca, which is a ghost town now, can't imagine it back in 1970 :S Right next to the Salton Sea too.

When he first bought the car, he had to bring it back because the clock didn't work, hazards didn't work and something with the seatbelt. He did all routine services at Walter's though up until like 50,000 miles.

When you worked at V.I.P. where was it at in Palm Springs? Because they just opened up VIP Motors in between the BMW dealership and Mercedes.
