Spotted: 2 Pinzies in Park City, UT

Post by todds112 »

I'm in Park City for a Glock armorer's school. Was headed to dinner and spotted 2 Pinzies. Both are 712's. One looks like a M converted to a K. The other looks to be an original K. Both have graphics for Park City TV. Only have my cell phone with me. I'll try to get the pics uploaded.

Thanks for the photos!

I really like the racks, etc. on that yellow one. Very nice looking Pinz.

Yellow one was an Austrian model. The cage was bright blue (what wasn't rusted anyway). They both looked fairly neglected in person.

The other one was bright red (doesn't look that way in the pic).

They are in good shape, but rust from the heavy salt application on roads in the winter is evident. One is a mobile studio that they use for ski events etc.

I saw Jon Light install the door locks on the red one. Was the first time I saw the improved door uppers.

I am so glad they don't use any salt in Jackson. I hate that stuff.

Guys to set the record straight.
We got the "Red bronzy one" from EI in an engine stripped condition and installed a 2,7 engine WITH the correct camshaft under the dog house--Then installed an OD box behind it with lottsa mods and repairs!
I then drove it one morning from Denver to Park City UT, leaving at 5.00 am and arriving around 3.00pm. A trucker came with along me who was having an APU installed in his Volvo rig in my shop. (He hadn't been west of Denver and wanted to go over the Continental Divide.)
We went west on I/70 to Silverthorne then headed nortwest through Craig Co through Dinosaur Co, and crossed into Utah arriving in Park City.--Tired!

The drive was fair and having minimal heat the legs/feet got numb--it was November after all!
The treat after the drive at an Italian style restaurant killing time for the plane back to Denver I got talking to an old Vet who was at Anzio Beach with Gen Mark Clark's lot. The old guy was astonished that I knew about Anzio and what it meant--It was my honour to have such a talkfest with this old fellow who is in fact part of the USA's finest generation, now sadly disappearing.
A memorable trip!
Cheers Dennis
