A car like this looks like it's been to the strip very few times... I mean look at those slicks?? Looks like M&H's to me. I'd say maybe just under 90mph?? Grin

Here's the thing Dean, I don't think that's HIS lawnmower. A guy like that owns one that says PORSCHE on the side. Cheesy I'm think'n east coast lawnmower.

Buddy ran it in DRKC at Sac in '02.  Broke it in Vegas the next month.  Sold it to Deaf Jimmy the next month.  Somewhere I've got a stack of buildup pics.  The creme pan still is an oddity to me. And Dave, Buddy tried to kill me, not Bruce.

Wow, dont know where Bruce came from - Im getting senile  Roll Eyes

It was in VolksWorld Summer issue a couple of months ago in 'On the scene' and is in the latest issue too.

Welcome back KS - it was good to see you racing again at European Bug-in, and it must have really fired you up.   

Does the car have four wheels, or is this pic just from the wrong angle?  Grin

I recently finished putting the ex Buddy Hale 55 back together, the poor thing had really been through the wringer. It now has a 9.5 CR  K-Roc 2332 w. S/E heads, 48's, A1 exhaust etc. All brand new, no corners cut. Disc brakes, FF BRMs, and BUMPERS!! Wink  The owner has an extensive car collection, including a new Z06 502 HP Corvette, a 396 SS Impala, 4 other VW's etc, and is happiest in the 55.  BTW, Buddy raced it a number of times, including getting his butt kicked by me at Sac in 2002.. Wink It was around 13:1 CR IIRC.

The 'sneak peak' pics and the pic of Shaun Geers car show one thing that would suggest they are not the same car... Indicators on top of the wings.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure Fastbrit wouldn't buy a car with side trim on it. Wink

Owned lots of cars with side trim. Depends on what you want. If I was to buy or build a Looker in the '70s style, then I'd personally opt for no trim. If I was going to build or buy a sleeper, then the trim would probably stay intact. Must admit to not liking indicators on wings, though! That may have to change, even if the side trim doesn't!  We'll see. This is one reason why I never built a hot rod – I like too many different styles and could never decide on what I wanted (flathead-powered hi-boy? Hi-tech '34 3-window?). Same with VWs – my first love is the no trim, classic Looker, but I also love cars like Bill's, I love Pro-Stockers, turbo cars, vintage... I don't become emotionally attached to cars and many have come and gone throughout my life. I've had far more pleasure out of owning and racing a variety of VWs than I ever would from owning the same one for years. We're all different – and thank heavens we are! Smiley

For the most part, it's a case of using contacts and keeping your ear to the ground. You can check the for sale pages on websites such as this one, thesamba.com or cal-look.com, or even on eBay. There's no one place you can guarantee to find the car of your dreams – it's often just luck, or being in the right place at the right time.  Smiley

Yup, a roof-rack, fender skirts, Coke cooler, swamp cooler and a sun visor over the screen. What Bill S and I call a mobile yard sale. Needs an IDA motor to drag it all around. Cheesy
