Gray Mountain Auto Connection -- A Brief History
Thirteen indicted in auto scams allegedly aimed at Native Americans.
PHOENIX (AP) - Thirteen car salesmen and managers have been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges related to a multimillion-dollar fraud operation aimed largely at Native Americans.
By: Wire Service Jan 30, 2003 0
Defendants face 38 criminal counts stemming from sales at Joe Florek VW-Audi and Gray Mountain Auto Connection, both in northern Arizona, according to the indictment unsealed Tuesday.
The suspects allegedly defrauded Navajo and Hopi consumers, as well as more than a dozen lending institutions, wholesale auction businesses and warranty companies.
"This is the largest automotive fraud case ever charged in Arizona," said Mark Aspey, an assistant U.S. attorney.
The indicted men allegedly carried out multiple swindles. Among the scams identified in the indictment were falsifying customer loan applications, forging signatures, and purchasing vehicles at auction with bad checks.

Here's the old version parked alongside my updated one - slightly bigger and more streamlined. I have to admit that the stickers on mine had taken a bit more of a beating over the past 30+ years than the ones you see in the picture - these are the best I could find on BrickLink. The old ones weren't really in a condition to display...
It's worth mentioning, too, that the original 646 must have been one of the first LEGO sets I ever owned, and certainly the first car to be able to properly seat a minifig inside. It's almost as old as I am, so it holds a special place in my collection.
The VW Beetle needs no introduction... nevertheless: the 1303-Series were available from Aug. 1972. These series are recognizable at their rounded windscreen and the big rear light units.
1285 cc air-cooled boxer engine.
870 kg.
Total production VW Beetle: 1938-2003, however in Germany till 1978.
Production VW 1303 Beetle: Aug. 1972-July 1975.
Original first reg. number: May 24, 1973.
New Dutch reg. number: Summer 1977.
Sold on April 11, 2020 (still valid in Jan. 2021).

I normally say "all stickers are official LEGO stickers" but in this case, it's not entirely true. For the first time I was not able to track down original, unused stickers (surprise!) as the original set is 35 years old. So I had to resort to reproduction "AUTO SERVICE" stickers by MiniStickers.nl. Which is not a bad option - the colour is almost spot-on, and certainly good enough for my use.

Part of my "Updated Classics" series - an ever-growing number of sets I've re-interpreted in order to make them fit better with modern LEGO City vehicles and buildings.
This is based on my old Minivan design from 2011, slightly modified to look more like an update of the original.

Can't find this location - either totally disappeared or totally transformed to an unrecognisable appearance today. Edit update:- Here apparently - see comments below www.google.co.uk/maps/@50.7438176,-1.7395646,3a,75y,82.28...
Edit update:- Apparently that information was incorrect - correct address now given, now retirement flats and here's the Streetview now

This building was built in 1989 as a Walmart discount store. In 2005 Walmart relocated across the road to a new supercenter. Since then this building has been split into Dunham's and Ruler Foods while the garden and auto centers are still empty.

The driver - a female mechanic, obviously, times have moved on - has quite the arsenal of tools in that rear compartment. And yes - it does all fit in there!
I think that's an early model Mazda RX7 turning in to the site - as for the garage, I have spent a while trying to find the exact spot in Christchurch where this was but have given up - too difficult!
Edit Update:- Have now discovered it was here
