We purchased the “Wahl Special” from Paul Brenier’s Museum in Maine. When I was talking with Paul about it he knew it was made by Wahl Brothers but unsure which Wahl (Dave or Terry) who drove it. I talked with Dave Wahl about it and he said he would need to see it to verify which one of them drove it. So when the machine arrived in MN Preston and I brought it up to Wahl Brothers for them to look at. Dave took one look at it and knew it was the one he had driven and won Beausjour on in 1992. As we were talking with Dave and Durmont about it they said they thought they still had the motor that was run it in back then. Sure enough, they checked and still had the motor and pipes that were once used in the machine. It was agreed that they would put the motor and pipes back in and get it race ready again for us. (The pipes even have Dave’s name etched on them.) The machine was at Wahl Brothers for about 3 weeks while they worked on it and got it ready for us. We did have the glass repainted along with the trailing arms and springs.
