Thats funny. I remember both of those stories, but never realized that they were the same car. I like how the owner in the later story took credit for all of the suspension and chassis work!  |

I remember 9 of us getting into that car when Glenn owned it and going to some parties... Most of the 1776 motor parts from the Fred Elliot version ended up in my sqbck. One of my all time favorite cars. Many many memories in that vert and it was'nt even my car.

Where to start? I got the car from Brian Plummer in a trade deal for my 67' Ghia. At that time it needed alot of work. seems Brians mom work at Truehauf and he got the car through her. (when Brian got the car it was a mess) Well we made a deal and I went through the car, repainted and rechromed all of the undercarraige, built a 2180 cc , 48 IDA motor, 4:88 R/P gear box and drove the crap out of it. The car weighed about 2000 LBS and ran HARD. When I swapped the car to John, I kept the motor and trans and my alloys and he kept the alloys you see on the car in the article. I did run FUCHS on it for a short period of time before I got rid of it. I drove the car daily to Fullerton JC and Cal St Fullerton, car shows, work, ETC on slicks with the 4:88. (it was my only car) If this car could talk, me , Bill, Greg, Mason, Gabbard and numerous others would have to plead the 5th.

BTW Fabian, thanks for posting this, it brings back alot of great memories. I've had never seen the last article until now and some of the facts are questionable, other than the wheels, motor and the added trim the car LOOKS exactly how I left it. Refering back to Bill's comment, these were our everyday cars. We "socialized" with them, "raced" them and just flat out got around with them. I have to give many thanks to Fred Elliot, Dyno and many others who participated in the original build of this car. It is truely one of those "you should have never gotten rid of that one" deals.

glenn...you were the ONLY one besides fred that ever did the car justice after it was built..!! fred is an awesome guy and a brilliant technical mind and has been a great friend thru the years and when that convert was going together it was a pleasure to help with whatever i could...and when it got finished fred took me on a ride on the 22 frwy into the 22/5 turn recommended for 30mph...naw..not fred...nailed it to the floor and took the turn FLAWLESS at 90MPH..!! after i peeled myself from the seat we laughed for hours after ....that was always one of my favorite cars as well... i brokered a deal and sold the car to ted allen from treuhaft not too long after its build and dont remember what transpired from that point but obviously this post points me in the right direction...LOL it would outhandle and outstop most anything on the road.... what a bitchin' car..!!

So, what ever happened to it? How does a car that was in all the VW magazines just disappear?

I always thought the front euro plate was funny - 3M TA3 I thought the car looked good with the 8-spokes too. |
