Default Need a PPI in the Fresno, CA area, any recommendations?

I am looking at buying a '78 in Visalia, Ca. and would like to get a good PPI on it first. Any recommendations of a knowledgeable mechanic in the area?

Thanks,

Visalia......."GOOD" mechanic...a contradiction in terms.

That's not to far from here though, 'bout 50 mi north. I'm no expert/mechanic, but if it can wait a week or so, I can tell you if its worth looking further into.

Green one? I think I've seen it on eBay or Craigslist. Looked very interesting.

Some potential I'd be able to stop by too, on Wednesday or Sunday (to or from Thanksgiving). I grew up about 20 miles north of Visalia.

For a real PPI I think you'd need to go to Fresno, or maybe Mickelson could recommend on in Bakersfield. I have a great one in Santa Barbara, but that's 3 hours away.

Not green,
the owner states the color as Kaschmirbeige, with a dark tan leather interior. Only thing it is missing is the Pasha interior


here is the link:

Looks kind of pink in the add, but looks better in the pic the owner sent over.

It is a new color to me. Owner states the color as original, but the only list of 928 colors I have seen did not include it.

Bronto,

If you can stop on your way by and give me your opinion, I would appreciate any info I can get on this car.

I have found quite a few that looked a lot nicer in the add and pictures than they do in person.

Thanks,

I thought it was pretty rare , too. But found out Rog has one the same color. I really need to get up to DFW and see what all he has tucked away in that shop.

Those pics do not represent the color even close.

Sunday would be the likely day. I think there's some 928 guys in Porterville too, aren't there?

Anyone have a PPI Checklist I could use?
