I don't think i have any.
I knew of Dan's first shop (converted gas station?) in the Burbank area with the cool modified GT 350's , corvettes, etc.
Then an article came out in Motor Trend about how you can get an exotic sports car for cheap money. The car was a red Lola T70 with a crate Z28 motor- all that for less than $10k !
So I see this red Lola crusing the streets of the valley while I was in high school. Always going the other direction or me without a car.
One night on Van Nuys Bl, at the Chevron station at the corner of Magnolia I spot a dark blue T-70 with that distinctive AIR across the bow. Holy #@%! , there it is! the car of my dreams!!
Dan was really cool outlining the whole process on how he legalized this car, the hassles with LAPD, etc etc finishing with an invitation to come visit his shop in Burbank. What an inspiration for a car nut
He was in the 1st Burbank Bl location at that point and started customizing Porsches later. Lots more to chat about at another time .
But that poor lola ended up catching fire and burning quite extensively. I don't know where it finally ended up>>> I guess the fire was not that bad!
