While looking through my stuff, I ran across this old (Feb/March 1983) Regardie's Magazine. It has the story of Steve Blake buying the Avanti Motor Co.

Nate,

If you read this be sure to scroll down for a bit on Roger Penn, your local dealer that I mentioned to you when I picked up the seats on Friday.

Leonard - you always post some interesting stuff from the past. Pretty extensive article (I haven't read all of it yet), but I noticed a few glitches in the captions - no matter.

Back when that magazine came out I was still commuting to Washington, DC (where Regardies was published). The following month I went to the publisher and bought all the extra copies they would sell. I was on foot (since I commuted by train and subway). I was planning to walk to the train (a couple miles), but finally gave up and hailed a cab. Those magazines were HEAVY[:I]. I sold them for the list price by a Turning Wheels ad. Considering the cab fare and the checks I had to send back when I ran out of magazines, I think I lost a couple bucks[V].
