Nice photo Fabs, Doug Church was the owner of "Modern Specialist" independent Volkswagen / Porsche repair in Long Beach, CA... My first employers (as a VW mechanic) and VW mentors were Herb Roberts and Hugh Tietsworth of H&H Motors, again in Long Beach... Herb and Hugh worked with Doug at Modern Specialties back in the late 60's along with some young guy named Jim Dutcher... H&H used to talk about the old dragster often. I believe that was the same car hanging in the rafters of another VW shop in Long Beach named TNT Automotive... I met the owner, Tom Wright as his Snap-on Tools dealer in the early 80's. I'd ask him every week, "you ready to sell it?" He'd always say "not this week" ~DR. |

I'd ask him every week, "you ready to sell it?" He'd always say "not this week" ~DR. We ended up buying it from Tom Wright in the mid 90's It was lengthened 12" & had no motor, but it was the real deal. I remember reading about it in a old Hot Rod magazine annual that I had since I was a kid. Jim McNear had found it & a few of us went in on it & bought it and then restored it. It was quite a thrash to get it ready for Classic 98'. I found some photos of us with Dean Lowry & some of the owners at the time , Jim McNear, Ron Wood, Myself & Mark Herbert. It was a day to remember. Bill |
