I am posting here, as I used to be in business (bad) with him, that ended rather tragically. This was late 70's.
He had a shop in San Francisco on South Park, and a slight troublesome addiction...

If anyone knows of him (he's dead), or knew him, I would appreciate your kind reply, public or otherwise.
I have some interesting stories about him, and of a San Francisco 'gentleman' that stole one of my Coupes, in/out of cahoots with Mr Dermer.

Regards, Alberto
 
I believe he had a shop back East somewhere and it went wrong. He rolled into our shop in Marin one day in 1975 in a white van and unloaded 50 Borrani steel wheels, a new set of real turbo flares and dam, a couple sets of DCOEs, etc. He clearly somehow had an inside line on top-shelf BMW hotrod parts. I put the flares on my car, went to a track day at Sears Point, and Allen Hardy was *quite* interested in how the parts had gotten into the country.

There is a Phil Dermer that died in 77, a Vietnam veteran. Don't know any of the stories but maybe better to let his memory rest.

Yes let his memory rest. I amonly curious about the car that was stolen / mishandled from my ownership.
In those days it was a $10K car, a lot of money back then.

Oh, I can help with both questions:

1) I don't have it
2) It is probably worth $120k

Do you have a picture of said car? Else we can draw an identikit. VIN?
