Re: SPID Picture thread?

Like Tim says, minimal fuel, just enough to get it to the dealer, usually. Sometimes they ran out coming off the trailer or on the way to the gas station. This is because the factory doesn't pay any tax on the fuel. Not sure of the reason. Anyway, we used to take the vehicles after delivery and run them to the gas station down the street before we got our own tanks and pumps. We'd put in $1 worth. Doesn't seem like much, but in the early '70s, that was over 3 gallons!
