------Not Stein but Duclow. I didnt think about the possibility of more than one Dick. Big DUH!!! He ended up starting "Indian Adventures" and offered Pontiac stalwarts a lot of cool stuff. Sold the business and, I think, went south for a much deserved retirement. One of the good guys!.....Bill S

Yes, Dick Duclo, I do remember him as a Pontiac guy. He ran the rep agency for most of the speed lines we handled for a long while around here too. Brings back a lot of great memories. On the street, the big PV Speed vs New England Speed was always implied but we all hung out alot at shows cruse nights etc. I still see alot of the old gang. I still to this day get picked out of crowds at shows by long time customers. Best part of the business has always been the people.

------Dick and his partner, Tom sold me a bunch of stuff for my 64 GP 421/370, 4spd, and I in turn gave them an idea for a driveshaft loop for racing attached to the trans crossmember rather than the floor. They sold a bunch of those and the very first one I ever built is on "Red Alert" to this day.......Bill S

some new info. a prior owner said the car was painted in a bi-centennial style back in 1979. red on top, then thick white striping and then blue on bottom. does that ring a bell?

Tim,

I grew up in Peabody and used to go to the PV Performance Center in Malden and Methuen (I went to ULowell) and used to buy "speed parts" to put on my 1978 Malibu. Is PV out of business? There was also a speed place on the Beverly/Salem line, but I cannot remember the name....

The place is down to it's last breath. The mom and pop speed shop is dying a slow death.

The name of the place in Salem was Automainia which was New England Speed's retail stores.

Yeah, right - Automania - that's the place that was on Bridge Street in Salem. Sure brings back memories.....

Anyone remember a Ken Bernard from Haverhill, Mass or an Anthony Muzzi Jr from Weymouth, Mass? Thanks in advance

Found the owner from 76-78. he remembers the 12 bolt rearend, ladder bars, rotated radiator, 350, turbo 400, b&m shifter, steering wheel, motor mounts, etc. good signs but who knows. No new leads on who he bought it from.

The car was stolen and recovered in nov/dec 1973 in Revere, Massachusetts. Anyone from the Mass area that knew anyone with a stolen vega???
