where are those car from the begining of the dkpIII  ,
some of the first guys of 3rd generation remember this one weathercliffe pearl orange 65 owned by brody hoyt , the car was in the line up in the first shooting display club  took by stephan in 92 
where is  the car now
the car was propelled by a 1995cc
welded 82 mm crankshaft , gene berg 5.400 rods
clybe berg heads with 40x37.5 manley stainless steel valves CR 7.3:1
009 distirbutor
48 ida , stock fuel pump

1 5/8 GB exhaust
gearbox by gary berg stock gears with welded 3 & 4
inside we have h*%da prelude seats , with lecarra steering wheels  , GB shifter

he was friends with Berg (Gary) and was employed there.

and i think the top pictures are taken by Mike Key ( i have a feature in his book: aircooled volkswagens, it is in german and his engineshot is upside down. maybe i can scan them as well. maybe they are slightly different, but likely the same shoot)

it is a great colour and an idea for that post of the blue bug that Jim wants to paint some goldish yellow, i had to think of this car rightaway. i don't like the interiour that much (panels) but i wouldn't be mind being seen in it. 

great car, but probally like Gary a friend and regular. but i am not sure

Steph, thanks, you know I have always had a soft spot for Jim's '67.

Hard to find pictures of it.

That pic of it with higher nose, is how I remember it from Jamboree where I first saw it. What a killer car.

Now how about any shots of the Mason Monster with the side-exit muffler?

- 2nd row: Art Gutierrez's '67, Gary Berg's '67, Bill's '59, John Rayburn's '64, Greg Brinton's '67, Dave Mason's '62

Hey Jim! Feel free to swing by the house one day! I know, it's not very close; but with the baby coming soon, you'd better hurry! Should be fun to dig through old slides, magazines and archives. Let me know...

Thanks Steph, I'll try for a coming Saturday. Weekends have already become baby-preparation time. Knew it was coming....  Do you ever go to Irvine for those early morning coffee & cruises? Maybe afterwards?

see ya,

Coffee & Cruise sounds great! Maybe next Saturday, but I may shoot a car... I'll keep you posted. Following weekend is the Grand National Roadster Show and I'll be busy.
