 My favorite 'vert, my fontana grey 66...   And my second favorite 'vert, another 66, from Belgium...   But I still think that a real Cal Look can't be a convertible! |

  I LOVE CONVERTIBLES!!! Karmann convertibles are by far my most favourite VWs, with a split vert being the most favourite. 2nd favourite would be a '67 or a semaphore vert and for the 3rd place any pre '70 vert will do...
 
 The Cal-look is perfectly applicable to a vert imho...

 Lets see some sans chrome! There is the one in the Cal Look book, and I remember seeing a white one in Hot VW's maybe about 10 years back... |

 Here's a driver and a (sort of) racer from back in the eighties
 Hey Glenn,  What's the story on the burgundy convert will polished alloy wheels? That car looks very familiar...I bought that car around 1981/2 ish. The car was a 60 convert and was restored by an older guy in Irvine. I first put the motor and trans from my KG into it, left it stock looking for a while. After about 4 months I lowered it, put in a 2180 SPG roller / 48 IDA motor. I lived in Orange at the time so you might have seen it around Camelot or Carls Jr.  We also went to Whittier Blvd. That car was involved in A LOT of street racing. I had American 5 spokes on it for a while too, they came off of the ex John Lesley / Harvey Rosenthal bug. |
