Title: June 2011 Hot VWs: Howard Washington's '68
Post by: bugnut68 on May 02, 2012, 18:06:56 pm
Just got the new issue yesterday... love Howard's '68!  Very nicely built late model, and 200 horses out back doesn't hurt, either! ;D  I met Howard back in 2004 when I was in Phoenix for the BOR event... very smart, knowledgeable guy.  Would love to see the car in person.

Yeah, Howard's car looks great in person.  It was a labor of love for Howard and he is happy to have it completed.  Too bad it took so long to show up in the magazine.

I can confirm the quality of Howard's car too.  Being an engineer, Howard was meticulous about this build.  He is an old VW drag racer and this is one of the nicest late model Cal Looks I have ever looked over. It is also a Buddy Hale paint job...which says a lot.
