Thank you so much for all your time and effort spent on this - very interesting to read all of the history of the Pinz in the USA market.

Your site is so full of great material!

You should visit with Jerry Bockus (you probably know him, he is a Haffy guy as well). I believe at one time he owned the two U.S. versions which included the one Europa sold on consignment to Arnold.

As he had told me, there were 2 trucks imported for EPA testing, a 5 speed manual and an automatic
