Default Langhorn Speed Shop PA Closed

Drove by Langhorn Speed shop today and it is as empty as Charlie Sheens Agents voice mail box. Not a car in the lot and not even a carb rebuil kit on the walls. Just 2 for rent signs in the windows.

I'v got an old picture of my uncle with a Shaw's Speed Shop shirt on, what did some of Langhorn's old logo's look like?

WOW, what a shame. Passed it last Summer and it was still open. It never ends!

also.. BP speed in Horsham also closed recently.. Two local speed shops.. gone.. Langhorne speed was always a treat as a kid to pass by with my parents to see some musclecar sitting outside.. I remember when Steve used to own it in the mid 80's

IMO, you can thank the mail order kings, Summit and Jegs, for the extinction of Speed shops. Nowadays, it is the kid waiting for the UPS guy to deliver the fart can muffler to put on his Mom's old Civic, Sad

Don't know when Google snapped this picture, but for those who don't know the place.

Bummer - grew up just a few miles away, frequent visitor/buyer. Moved to Hatboro several years later - got to know the guys at BP Speed pretty well too. I guess Markovich is still in Warminster?
