ok Rayburn.... since Greg doesn't seem to surface here.... either go get him or tell us about Greg growing up a VW guy. Let's see pictures of his cars. How about the history of the black '67? I remember seeing it a long long time ago with the 1914/IDAs/FK7 cam... maybe it was 1990? He was just a kid, like Sheep and me. In fact, when we had the disaster-party at my house last fall, Sheep ran into Greg for the first time since 1990 or whenever, and said "Jim, that's the same guy?" I think we all had a good laugh, especially after Sheep ripping on Sarge a few good ones.
Anyway... back on track.... let's talk about Greg's cars... the black car, the Super Street, the hot 914...

Greg didn't actually build the black car right? Someone else owned it before him?

I've got a pic or two of the SS car before it was painted. Greg and I put that car together using all kinds of wierd parts, but it hauled ass. We ran quick 16 before the SS class was invented. I drove it with a couple of different 48 IDA motors in it, Jeff Denham drove it with a turbo motor in it then Greg transformed it into the SS car you all remember. Gary Grauman originally built the '67 and was a DKK meber along with me, Bill, Rick, DKK fred and others. I'll have to recant a couple of drag strip stories and post in the "scariest drag strip stories" thread. Greg has a couple of pics of us putting the BIG motor in the 914. (priceless 80's pics). I'll see if I can get ahold of his photo album.

What happened to the SS car? Wasn't it for sale a few years back? As I am sure someone in the UK was thinking about buying it, but they had a car built in the end.

Nice thread, I was thinking to start it couple of days ago as I wanted photos to see how his Fuchs were detailed  Remembered that they looked better than the original detailing. |

I think that's probably just as well, or you'd all be in jail the moment the book hit the stores! |

Yep, they thought about this one, and Small Wonder too, then decided to get a SS-type pan car built, which became a full chassis turbo car! So, what did happen to Greg Brinton's SS car? Did it sell? |
