Dream 3 car VW garage what would you have ?

[Rocket Ron]

My dream 3-car vw garage consists of:

1.   White 67 old school cal look with one piece windows that work.  original lotus white paint but de-chromed body ( you know what i mean) , red interior, 2007cc twin 48 Ida motor with hunt magneto, berg linkage etc berg 5 speed and can runs a 12s ¼ mile but reliable enough to run across country, oh and runs on pump fuel.

2.   Early low light ghia, stock looking with 4 1/2 and 5 ½ steel sprints stars or Porsche pattern cosmics. Dark grey or silver paint with dark tan or dark red leather interior, berg 5 speed and large capacity blow through turbo. Would have a nice early porsche style steering wheel (not fussed what type) and early berg or deno shifter. Super clean and perfect running gear. Again runs a twelve but nice round town and not two low.

3.   Early crew cab or panel van with really big type 4 or 3.2ltr Porsche flat 6 again a 5 speed trans, nicely lowered not to low with stock steels or fuch alloys. Dove blue and grey interior and got to have front and rear safaris. 

What would you have 

 Ps you could swap any of the above with a super clean heb cab again with nice ida motor and lowered with porsche wheels. You can pick what type of wheels as I;m not too fussy

[Jordy/DVK]

 1) Early Crew Cab, dove-blue, std interior, lowered, powerful NA low rpm stroker engine (type1) on orig. rims or radars...

 2) Split Karman convertible in two different shades medium grey, with grey rooftop  (cal-look for strip use) on fuchs/erco with MH dot slicks

 3) A nice mildly tuned vw blue '67 cal-look on golden Enkei's, for daily use...

 (and in my backyard a Fridolin, type34 sunroof, nice gasser, a white T2a on fuchs, a 412, Mr. Komori's Dannenhauer, Calfornia-Look Schwimmwagen with a whining 2332cc to use as speedboat in the weekends...

black 701/2 RS Z28 camero on american racing five spokes with a full tilt efi small block

[ESH]

I love it how it says VW at the top and there's a bunch of people that post here regularly that apparently don't know what a VW is? Go figure!

Keeping it simple and in house as per the subject, Bugs only and all the 3's.

[Georg/DFL]

1.) '69 Razoredge Ghia Looker, toga white, Gasburner, Fat Biscuit interior, 2276, IDAs (already in my garage)

And (luckily it's not a VW but still aircooled) a black Porsche 964 coupe w/sunroof for daily use 

[Rocket Ron]

Maybe we should start a new thread for the OTHER cars  but if we've gone open season on any car then

 Ferrari 250 GT California red obviously 

 Porsche 550 spyder silver blue stripes

 Steve McQueen’s Porsche 917 from Le Mans

 Model A coupe with big block engine in black

 RHD 964 turbo s or just plain old 964 RS super low mileage in red or white for Sundays

Ps no particular order

[ESH]

...And (luckily it's not a VW but still aircooled) a black Porsche 964 coupe...

As long as you're not thinking about sticking it in the garage then that's OK.

[Georg/DFL]

Mat, it will stay outside - it's just a daily driver (or will be)

And no, we are not going open!  Stick with the three Vdubs!
