DeTomaso Mailing List: June 98, Message #354

Well, if you promise not to tell anyone...

A member in our club works as a lock smith. He buys blanks from an Italian
company and a few years ago when he visited them he saw a nice set of
custom keys with Alfa Romeo logos. As a proud Pantera owner he wanted a set
for himself and that's why he got 498 spares... (the minimum order was 500
items). He asked me to "get rid of them".

Well, I sold about a hundred in Sweden, another hundred to different
European clubs and brought the rest to Vegas -93. I offered PI to buy the
rest (about 50 cents to $1 ea. depending of the amount) but they were not
interested. Another vendor was interested but he had no money! So after I
got home to Sweden I asked Gary Hall and he bought what was left.
As you can see at Thomas website they look great. Yes, the function too.

We have talked about making custom keys for the doors too but haven't got
enough encouragement to continue.
