Bought gas and had repairs done much as you described. I think they just closed up likely the owner sold out or something happened, we never knew.

I drove a 1974 Duster, jet black with white stripes. Liked it except the engine wasn’t up to handling the air conditioner and with our hot and humid summers I preferred to be cool.
