Title: 1965 Cal Look VW – new price Post by: Fastbrit on July 16, 2010, 11:36:02 am (http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t318/Photokernow/Driving1.jpg)(http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t318/Photokernow/Driving2.jpg)
(http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t318/Photokernow/Engine.jpg)(http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t318/Photokernow/GloveBox.jpg) (http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t318/Photokernow/Interior.jpg)(http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t318/Photokernow/NardiWheel.jpg) (http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t318/Photokernow/LicencePlate.jpg)(http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t318/Photokernow/VWClassic.jpg) (http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t318/Photokernow/DKPCruise.jpg)(http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t318/Photokernow/Wheel.jpg)(http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t318/Photokernow/Shifter.jpg) Don't want to sell, but realistically with the house needing so much work and other 'stuff', somebody's chance to own a very highly-spec'd California Look sedan. Registered in the UK, so no import duties and shipping costs. Why buy from the USA with the exchange rate as it is when you can own the only European-based Looker ever to make it to US Bug-In, VW Classic and the Cruise Nights… Only ever appeared at European Bug-In once, and two small local shows in the UK. Has 1870 miles on its since hitting the road, of which 850 miles were added in California this year! 1965 sedan, originally supplied by California dealer. Subject to full body-off repaint (only needed a battery tray and one bumper mount) prior to repaint inside and out in Laguna Blue, a 1970 Karmann Ghia colour. Chassis painted in two-pack gloss black etc. All new trim, headlights, Lucas turn signals, T-bars etc. NO RUST! Very straight bodywork... Interior: Cobra RS seats on VW subframes Nardi 'signature' steering wheel AutoMeter Ultra-Lite 'Monster' tach with shiftlight and recall etc on billet mount AutoMeter Ultra-Lite oil temp and pressure gauges Glovebox signed by several of the 'legends' including Darrell Vittone, Ron Fleming, Anderson Brothers etc Vintage Speed billet shifter custom-made for me to suit Berg five-speed Handbrakelever modified to work as staging brake/two-step switch New Simpson four-point harnesses on both seats Ron Lummus DRKC chrome-moly roll-cage with door bar Rear seat delete New door panels, headlining, carpets, rubber mats etc Engine: 2332cc Gene Berg 84mm wedgemated forged crankshaft Carrillo 5.6in con-rods J&E slipper-skirt pistons Century cylinders Engle FK-10 cam Udo Becker tool-steel lifters Autolinea aluminium crankcase Berg oil pump Moroso filter head with pressure relief and drain back to sump Berg oil sump JayCee pushrod tubes Berg pushrods Berg 1.5:1 rocker arms Berg dual springs Jeff Denham 043 cylinderheads with 42 x 37 valves 10.0:1 compression ratio Kennedy Stage 2 clutch Berg dual-friction centre plate Art Thraen-modified 48IDA Webers New-style Gene Berg linkage New alternator just fitted CSP breather system Full MSD 6AL Digital Plus ignition MSD billet distributor Rare VW Puma fan shroud Braided-steel hoses throughout Remote oil cooler with thermostatically-controlled fan alongside gearbox Saco upper and lower pulleys (expensive!) JayCee red-anodised billet timing pointer, jet covers and coil mount Guesstimated 200+bhp Transmission: Gene Berg five-speed built by Mike Herbert of Rancho Performance in SoCal FTC mainshaft Weddle 3rd/4th gears 3.78; 2.35; 1.58; 1.21; 0.89 Klinkenborg 3.88:1 ring and pinion Quaife limited-slip differential JayCee chrome-moly pinion bearing support H/D pinion retainer Sway-A-Way race axles Wheels etc: JGE Torker with 145x15 and 205/70x15 tyres VW drum brakes fully rebuilt – all new throughout Hurst line-lock Braided hoses etc Etc,: JayCee springplate retainers Sway-A-Way adjustable springplates Axle limiting straps CSP 'torque bar' Berg solid trans mounts (with weld-in middle mount) Grant fuel pump Restored 'Cotton Goff' licence plate surround (TLF25 plate not included – too sentimental to let go!) New glass Lexan rear screen (lightweight) Basically everything new... Car is currently on its way back to the UK – should be here early August. I will then have the fuel tank repainted (a fuel leak affected the paint round the sender) and supply it with 12 months MOT. The cost to build a car to this spec doesn't bear thinking about. £18.5K – or trade plus cash. And no, the DKP badge and decals are not included… :D Title: Re: 1965 Cal Look VW Post by: Lids on July 16, 2010, 18:55:05 pm Keith you have made a school boy error, sell the house and live in the car.
