Title: AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
Post by: Jim LoGudice on April 04, 2013, 02:25:33 am
Back in the  mid 70's I sold my red '67 calif street charger.  My current VW collection consists of all very cool to me, cars but they are all stock show cars.  With that said, I just made a new addition to the collection today which is a black '67 cal-looker (thanks to Roger Crawford) that sparked my fire all over again, (big bore motor and a 5-speed haul's buns)!  I will be posting pictures as soon as I get back to AZ.

Regards,
Jim

Thanks John,
When I saw Fleming and yourself buying cal-looker's again, it created an "ITCH" that I have not had for a long while, it's back!

Jim

"ITCH", you should have asked as I could have provided a lotion that would have saved you $$ but not near as much fun.. ::)

Well, last weekend Frenchy and I went to my home in CA to pick up the new car and bring it back to AZ for a bit.  Here are a some pictures of Roger and I at his shop, a stop off at Cars and Coffee on Saturday morning and then loading the "midnight special" in the trailer for the trek to it's new part time home in AZ.

Regards,
Jim

Horse feathers!!  NBVA stickers!  Besides, Jim too busy selecting Bridge of Weir hides for the

seats and the appropriate Wilton wool for the carpeting  ;D

Phil, you know me too well!  Actually I have a pair of Porsche 911R buckets that I'm thinking of doing with perforated tan leather and black cordaroy inserts. 

As far as the NBVA stickers go, here is a couple shots of my '63 camper (original 25K miles - never touched) with sticker on the windshield.  I have more for this car too :)
