Dave Puhl's Illusion was restyled by Dave at House of Kustoms. In 1965, The Illusion won the 1965Experimental Sweepstakes at the Indianapolis Summer Nationals. In 1966 it won the Sweepstakes at the Los Angeles Winter Nationals. After that it was leased out, touring the United States and Canada.
In September of 1967 Dave was asked to customize a new Javelin as a Rod & Custom Magazine project sponsored by American Motors, just 6 weeks before release date. Time was at a minimum, so Dave himself drove the restyled but yet unreleased Javelin to Los Angeles for its debut at the Hollywood Palladium.
