I borrowed a torque wrench from my father. He had the original packaging, including the insert card.

From Amazon:
Craftsman Torque Wrench

Another vintage automotive T-shirt post. This one is from “Harrah’s Automobile Collection”. There is no date on the shirt, but I believe it is from the 1980′s. The collection is now the “Harrah National Automobile Museum”, located in Reno Nevada. Mr. Harrah died in 1978 and the museum opened in 1989. I have a feeling that this shirt was made some time between those two events.

They don’t have any SAABs listed in their collection, I checked.

UPDATE:

I received a brown envelope filled with data sheets and photographs from the museum.

My father handed me a bag of his old t-shirts. Here is what I found:

It says, “SCCA National Rally Championship” “Mid-South Region Sports Car Club of America” “The Bluff & The Truth” on the front and

“Beck Arnley Parts For Imported Cars, Inc.” “Sponsor” on the back.

I’m trying to track down the year. The folks were active in the Mid-west Region in the 70s and early 80s. I couldn’t imagine them going to Memphis for a rally after I was born, so I would guess it’s from the early to mid-70s.

Update: My father was not much help on nailing down a year for that shirt. He said, “early 70s, ’72 or ’74.” but he didn’t seem too sure.
