After reviewing a few of the interior shots on Pip's thread, the original builder Jim Jones confirmed that it was indeed the car he and Dave Wasson built in the early 70's. This is based on the headrest in the pic, Pip confirming it had aluminum floor pans when he got it, as well as the Bug-In plaques that were originally on the car. After Jim sold the car, it changed hands multiple times. Martin Crossley bought it, drove it for about a year before Bruce Lowry got it. Sometime after that it, according to Pip's recollection, it ended up at the DeCoppen Bros shop. Then onto OldSpeed VW with LennModica. Then it came to Pip at The Compound with primer paint. I have some early pics I'll attach. First is one just after they bought it as a green / blue 59. Soon after, it was painted at B&S Autyo Body in Santa Monica, and pinstriped by Steve Feinberg who also did the graphic on the license plate light. It was originally had an 1835 that did 12.8, and was used for street races near LAX. Then a 2276 / Fumio heads/ IDAs was installed that did 11.70s.
