It's June of 1972, a bit out of sequence from the last one. The car was
in for a 6000 service, oil and filter were expected . It got a tune up and
alignment was checked. That pat is a little bit of paranoia carried over
from owning a brand new GT6+ for a year. It seemed to go out of alignment
when you closed a door. The bill was almost $60, which included $7.25 for
a rental car.
At 12,455 miles, the day after Christmas in 1972 I brought it in for 12000
mile service . It got oil, plugs, carb needles, condenser, points, a vacuum
hose and a snap in the soft top. They did a front and rear alignment and
noted that the rear end needed work, probably a bad bearing. It whined.
Poof. $140 gone.
It went back in 2/5/73, at 13, 324 miles to have the rear end overhauled.
They did, fortunately cover it under the warranty. I paid $22.47, $14 of
which was for the rental.
The saga continues.
