The red 67 was Jim Bangs' GTV. He was in our club in the early 90's.

How can you say that? Don's car has been around for 20 or more years and is one of the best-known Cabrios ever built. Way ahead of its time, a real trendsetter... It would be criminal to change it in any way.

where's the car today ??
It was a GTV from Econo Motors. Jim worked there at Empi and for The Race Shop. I don't understand what you mean by a look alike, a GTV was not necesarily built by the dealer. Only a small number were built, most came in a box, or some were put together piece by piece over time. As far as the car goes, Jim was in a messy divorce and fell off the face of the Earth many years ago.

That's what I was saying also. If that car was built today, it would probably receive some GBs.
But it's been like that before some of you guys were even born, so saying the wheels 'don't belong to the car' is a bit ridiculous...
Yes, the fashion has changed, but that is what makes this car so great (and the likes of the Goss/Seume/Richie top chop, or Doug Mische's Ghia, etc...)

So since it was built long time ago (but after I was born
) or belongs to "too famous person in the scene" nobody can present any opinions about it? Well, it did look better in the Volksworld feature with the detailed 16" Fuchs and, IMO, less agressive rake would also work better with those wheels and tires.
