10,000 auto parts

I'm in Ohio, which is closer to Minnesota than Southern California, and I've never heard of them.

Never heard of them

How is your late 80’s recollection? We had about 30 stores in Souther California- think about 20 or so in Minnesota. Stumbled across an old memento/ news letter I kept from our store. Long time ago… Are little in house was game was customers coming in putting down their part and guessing part numbers/ vehicle …you must be working on a SBC with automatic…3510 starter…here you $24.99. That is stuck in my brain FOREVER!

Don’t remember much of the 80’s. Also didn’t live in Minnesota back then.

I grew up right off Lake Street and Cedar where as a 12 year old kid, I would go in their Cedar store and gaze and dream of buying their shiny chrome parts for a Pontiac GTO I would own someday. I ended up even working for them after working for Champion Auto for several years. In fact, I worked at their Lake Street Super Store which was just east of Hennepin Ave on Lake Street. I am looking to buy a 10,000 Auto Parts sign right now. Btw, I ended up with several GTOs. Tempest and LeMans over the years too
