MCACN friend and Berger GM part number extraordinaire. He probably sold more over-the-counter high performance parts than anybody else and his photo was even used in magazine advertisements. RIP.

Default Jim Luikens....

Jim was a great guy...

He autographed that famous ad with the gal looking out thru the head gasket for Karen.

"To Karen...thanks for being a Berger girl"... Jim Luikens

We have it framed and hanging up with up with other Berger items.

RIP

I remember talking to him at MCACN, we shared an admiration for round port Pontiac engines. I could listen to his stories forever. R.I.P. Jim and Godspeed.

Such a sad loss for our hobby. Jim was indeed one of the good ones and a HUGE supporter of MCACN.

We shared many stories and I loved hearing each and every one of them.

RIP, Jim!
