Re: FirstAmerica Automotive, Inc.
Registration Statement on Form 8-A
File No. 001-15219
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am writing with respect to the above-referenced registration statement
(the "Registration Statement") of FirstAmerica Automotive, Inc. (the "Company")
which was originally filed with the Commission on August 5, 1999. By this
letter, the Company hereby requests that the Registration Statement be withdrawn
effective immediately. No sales were made pursuant to the prospectus included in
the Registration Statement. The grounds for the withdrawal is that the Company
has agreed to merge with another corporation.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please call Andrew Zeif or
Michael Gebhardt of Gray Cary Ware & Freidenrich LLP, the Company's counsel, at
(650) 328-6561.
Sincerely,
/s/ THOMAS A. PRICE
