NOT SO FAST, FOLKS!! VIC'S '66' IS NOT CLOSING, IT'S JUST MOVING!!!! Oldgaspump.com in Seattle, Washington has purchased Vic's Place, LLC
& the Vic's '66' Catalog Business and website!!! We are the owners of Oldgaspump.com AND Emerald City Auto Repair, and have been heavily involved in the restoration of old gas pumps and the retailing of pump restoration supplies & related decor for 19 years. We eventually became one of Vic's '66' largest wholesale customers as we restored our own pumps and retailed merchandise via our online store and at dozens of shows up and down the West coast. When we were made aware of Vic's '66' impending closure, we jumped on the first plane to Oklahoma City and quickly made the decision to purchase the company, not only for our own consumption, but so you, the customer, could still have access to the Vic's '66' catalog offerings.
Operations will cease for about 2 weeks as the assets & inventory are transferred from OKC to Seattle, but by the second week in June you can call the same old toll-free number, 888.918.7867, and myself, my wife Lynn and our daughter Cari will be ready to serve you in the same user-friendly way that Vic's '66' was built upon and to show our appreciation of your continued support in the coming years be sure and let us know you are a Oldgaspump.com Member when you call and order any of our products we will be glad to give you a 10% discount on your purchases during the months of June and July 2008. Although we will try and make the transition as seamless as possible, there will surely be some glitches and delays along the way while restocking the inventory that was sold down in the last few months and while adding MANY new products, but rest-assured the whole crew at Oldgaspump.com & Vic's '66' will continue to go out of their way to serve you!! So its not Goodbye to Vic's 66, But HELLO to the new and improved "Vic's Old Gas pump"!!!, And a very special Thanks to Seth and the rest of the crew from Vic's 66 for your continued support during the transition and for making our dream come true. Don, Lynn & Cari

AWESOME!!! For those of you who have not met Don and Lynn, let me just say that they are AWESOME people. I have had the pleasure of meeting and dealing with Don and Lynn and have always felt they are fair and honest. This is great news for the hobby. I cannot wait to order some parts from you. Thanks again for stepping in.

Woohoo!

I'm very happy for Don & Lynn....I've known them through phone communication for sometime, but after spending a few days with them last month, I now consider them friends. I wish them tons of luck and I know their hearts are in the right place in this deal. I cannot wait to see where they take the Vic's brand. They are dedicated & loyal folks and I see this as a win-win also. I'm having a great time at my new company and I know Don & Lynn are chomping at the bit to get started with the transition. I'm very much looking forward to spending some time in Seattle helping with the move (and playing some golf while I'm there). So so much of the business we did was to the West Coast so it's only natural some "Left-Coasters" got the company. As I've said in earlier posts, I will still be involved in the original side of the hobby including having auctions and restoring some pumps. I look forward to using Vic's Old Gas Pump as a supplier!

Seth

Glad to see that Vics will go on. I am going to be starting (finally) on my shop very soon, and "decorating" will follow, including resto of my Boyle Dayton 87b.

Congratulations Don & Lynn!!!

Don & Lynn are great people, enjoy visiting with them at the local swap meets. We are all fortunate they are keeping Vic's alive.

Thanks to Seth for the great products and service. Best of luck to you.

Vic's will now be in my backyard.
