They had shops in both Canada & Seattle and sold all the usual performance extras from Scat, Bugpack etc. The Logo was a nice looking Dog (what else..) ;D Title: Re: were there canadian performance in 70's ?

They produced their own parts and supplyed the other brands.
Check a Lang sump and an Empi sump, they have the same casting. Bow Wow Auto Parts is still in business, but not in aircooled VW anymore. http://www.bowwow.com Title: Re: were there canadian performance in 70's ?

Beacon Ave, Seattle & 11956- 95A Ave, Deta BC, V4c 3W2.. which I presumed was in Canada as the advert (1980) lists the Seattle address and then the other as Canada? ??? Anyone know for sure? ;D Title: Re: were there canadian performance in 70's ? Post by: Lee.C on October 21, 2009, 12:18:35 pm I am pretty sure I have a "Bow wow" sticker somewhere :)
