It looks  familiar, its probably been to the cruise nite. Cypress is pretty close to my house, If you set it up with the guy I might be able to take a look @ it.   Bill

Thanks Bill for your very kind offer. I will call him tomorrow and send you a mail if it's still for sale and it's available for viewing.

it would be good to get an honest opinion on the cab before I cross the pond Smiley

I grew up in Cypress and occasionally when I visit my mom I see the car parked up the street.They are fairly new neighbors and the time I visit no one's home. I have actually seen the car up close briefly and it looks pretty clean. I think he belongs to the club "foreign creations"? That picture was taken in the parking lot of Cypress Cinema ( no longer there). If I ever see him I will let him know you are interested or if I can help for contact I will do it. Brings back memories when Cypress had some of the fastest street VW's in the county unknown to any car magazines.
Regards,
Steve Niendorf

Ps.I have a '50 cabrio I will sell for $90,000. Shocked

I have some relatives that live in Cypress, I can email the pic to them, and if need be I can visit them and go see the car.

I saw a nice pre-67 convert in Simi Valley yesterday, Coral Red with some type of BRM's, they were at least round.
