Title: Cars you want to see back on the Track/Street ? Post by: 71CALRIPPER on July 15, 2010, 16:07:48 pm Any cars you know are sitting around not doing anything that could do with getting dragged out and let loose again. ( that are not your own ) :)
I would like to see this back out, used to be like a two tone turtle green colour.

Post by: jamiep_jamiep on July 15, 2010, 16:37:28 pm Havew I got a memory of Terry's Beetle Services importing that (when it was green)? I never really liked its looks in the two tone colours, it looks a damn sight better in black in my opinion.
As for cars back out.... well my own! ;) But then, a friend Alan 'Donge' Donlon used to terrorise the streets in this: (http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/177272.jpg) (http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/182063.jpg) It may not look anything special nowadays, but it was a regular street & strip warrior running mid 14's all day long for years, and was one of the cars that kick started my passion for speed in old VW's! Its currently in my back garden missing its front end, engine & trans after an altercation with an elderly driver who needed to hang up the driving gloves! Alan now has a 59 bug with all the bits from this put in it. Like I say, nothing special to probably anyone but me, but special nonetheless. Title: Re: Cars you want to see back on the Track/Street ? Post by: Zach Gomulka on July 15, 2010, 16:53:22 pm After metting and getting to know Gary Berg over the last few months, I'd really like to see him get the Berglar back. I'm not sure if he shares my enthusiasm though!

Title: Re: Cars you want to see back on the Track/Street ? Post by: Rennsurfer on July 16, 2010, 02:40:02 am After metting and getting to know Gary Berg over the last few months, I'd really like to see him get the Berglar back. That's where the poor car belongs, but alas... it'll probably never be as such, sadly. 99% of people that know of that car will agree. As for cars that I want to see back on the street... well, that's already in Da Werks, thanks to Rick M. and Danny G. My fellow DEEKS are making my selffish dream a reality. SO looking forward to seeing this car back on the road, where it belongs.

Post by: Donny B. on July 16, 2010, 02:49:14 am Quote After metting and getting to know Gary Berg over the last few months, I'd really like to see him get the Berglar back. I'm not sure if he shares my enthusiasm though! In a conversation with Gary at Nick's before Bug-In he stated that he is no longer interested in getting his '67 back. He said that he is building another car. Straight from the horse's mouth. Title: Re: Cars you want to see back on the Track/Street ? Post by: TexasTom on July 16, 2010, 03:01:12 am Heard the same thing from him, Donny.
While recently on the infamous Berg shop tour, I spied a set of new Berg 590 manifolds set aside in the shop and asked if they were for sale ... "They're being saved for Gary ..." Perhaps there's something cooking ... ? Title: Re: Cars you want to see back on the Track/Street ? Post by: Diederick/DVK on July 16, 2010, 13:31:07 pm that'd be this one (for me)

I thought I saw it on the streets of Orange Ca. about 2 years ago, haven't seen it since. Didn't it reappear at a VW Classic a couple of years ago, looking seriously faded (almost orange) and no-one really knew whose it was? I think I saw it on thesamba, and I think I've seen the picture on here too. ??? EDIT - found it! http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/album_page.php?pic_id=213219 (http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/213219.jpg) :o Title: Re: Cars you want to see back on the Track/Street ? Post by: Diederick/DVK on July 19, 2010, 12:44:57 pm no neal, this is either jum logudice's '67 or someone else's. there's quite a few differences with billings's '67 if you look carefully ;)
e.g. antenna, antenna hole, lucas indicators, vent windows, no 7" fuchs, chrome tip on dual QP, no beige/tan porsche seats. Title: Re: Cars you want to see back on the Track/Street ?

Of course, I just glanced at the pic of Mike Billings car and remembered this one, then when Glenn said about seeing it recently I put two and two together and got five! :D Still, to keep it on topic, does anyone know what happened to the one I posted? ;) Title: Re: Cars you want to see back on the Track/Street ?

Title: Re: Cars you want to see back on the Track/Street ? Post by: team97 on July 20, 2010, 17:33:55 pm I went to high school with Doug and Clyde, John Lessley (Harvey's old car) and Bill Demoss (KG) . I only saw the car 2 times before Gary crashed it. But it did have an impact on all of us in Orange around the late seventies
