Vette(s): 1977 #s matching Orange L48 4-speed and a 2000 Black FRC 6-speed BOTH SOLD :(

Cheap gas, service (and I mean full service) with a smile, AND a free giveaway - usually water tumblers or some other gimmicky item.  Those were the days!!

As Bob Hope would say, "Thanks for the memories."

When I was a kid, I can remember better than most of you old guys, we had a Phillips 66 near us in Sothern California. Me and my buddies could get our bicycle tires repaired there.Big%20smile
