In the fall of 1986, the 912 traded hands to Mr. Litchy whose ownership was continuous until the early 2000s. Mr. Litchy was a dental director in Chula Vista, California and under his ownership, the 912 was primarily serviced by Mike Schreiber Volvo in San Diego, California. According to the history, the 912 has two more owners in the Southern California region who service and maintained the vehicle.
