Not exactly sure what year but probably around 77 or 78 or so. My mom went looking for a car. She wanted a Triumph TR6 (which was my favorite car). We went to Larry Reed Motors (i have no idea how I remembered that). We went in and inquired if they had any. The salesman said no they were no longer in production. My mom asked for a used one. And they had none. Then Larry Reed himself walked by. He started talking to my mom. Now she just got a brand new 280Z but wanted another car to drive around and a convertible. Well after several minutes my mom came back and said we were going somewhere. We jumped in Mr. Reed caddy and drove to Culver City. In the car my mom said he had a few brand new TR6's he was saving. Anyway, we get to this warehouse place and he slid open the door and there was 30 cars easy in there. Anyway, we see the TR6's. Long story short. He ended up selling my mom a green one with less than 10 miles on it for $10,000 even. Now I know my mom paid $8300 for the Z car. So she paid more for the TR6. Mr. Reed convinced her to buy it as an investment and not a daily drive car. Well we drove back to the dealership and went home. My dad got our neighbor to help him the next day and they ended up towing the car to our cabin in Running Springs. They were going to use it up there when they went. Well another long story short, my dad or mom hardly drove it at all. They always took my dads truck and drove that around or hung out at the cabin. Well my died in 85. After all medical insurance paid the bills my dad still ended up owing a tremendous amount of money. So jhe ended up having to sell alot of stuff to pay the bills. Including the cabin, my mom 450SLC which she had at that time and other shit. My mom spent close to one year in the hospital. Anyway, he ended up selling the TR6 for $25,000 (if I remember right) and it had less than 1000 miles on it. He kept that thing immaculate. It was basically a brand new TR6 in 1985. Anyway, thought this story was kinmd of like this guy selling a new Fiero.
