Had the AC re-charged and good to go. Hell, the pinstripes even matched up. When I toasted the 3.55 Posi in my '65 GTO in 1990, I went back down there figuring to pick another one up for $75, which was what the going rate was ten years before. NOPE!!! Had to have mine rebuilt for over $900. My driving got a lot better after that.
Still have the '66 GTO AM-FM radio I picked up at Dorris for $12 in 1979.

Spent a lot of time in Doris back in the 90's and early 2000's. You'd hate to see what has become of it now, can't even pick your own part. Last time I was there was in 2019 and my quote about finding a vehicle older than 1995 is mostly in reference to this junkyard. All of the other junkyards that used to be around that area have closed down.
