Title: The Survivor Thread.......... Post by: Lee.C on January 17, 2011, 02:36:46 am Well I am sure this is something our man SPEEDWELL can help us with but how about a REAL Cal Look SURVIVOR Thread :-\ :)
I am talking about ORIGINAL Cal Lookers From Back in the day, Preferable UNRESTORED ;) So lets see what you you got guys :) Title: Re: The Survivor Thread.......... Post by: nlvtinman on January 17, 2011, 03:59:40 am Well, not that my car nor I was ever famous in the day, but back in 1975/76 I took this '53 and built into the standard and style of the time. Genuine BRM's, Porsche "A" brakes, seats and color, a close ratio gearbox, a BERG 1776 with heads ported by Gene. I had a lot of fun in it. In 1977 when I was driving it I was a founding member of the Der Selten Kafers.
Then I shoved it into storage,and here is how it sits today, My genuine survivor . Unfortunately, my "today" photos exceed the maximum size to attach. Title: Re: The Survivor Thread.......... Post by: Hecker on January 17, 2011, 04:06:17 am I'd love to see the NOW shot Steve --- resize it & post it!!!
Maybe you'd like to tell us how many original BRM's you have?? :o Title: Re: The Survivor Thread.......... Post by: Fritter on January 17, 2011, 04:12:52 am Would love to see more pics of this car!
Title: Re: The Survivor Thread.......... Post by: nlvtinman on January 17, 2011, 04:34:52 am Ron and Mike,
Me, being a just a professional car restorer, have not a clue as to how to resize the photo files, otherwise I would. I still have the same 6 BRM's I bought off of Mike Sellers. That was a few decades ago- He was still a DVB member, not chief of police like today. Steve Title: Re: The Survivor Thread.......... Post by: Bryan67 on January 17, 2011, 04:51:02 am This thread is a great idea. I should have kept it but you can`t keep them all I guess. My old 64 that I bought from a guy in Valencia. He built it in the late 70`s but after moving to Valencia had no more room for it. It was a real time warp but it was underappreciated at the time. I sold it about ten years ago to buy a the 67 that Luke now owns.

Let's start a new topic...!!! ::) Whatever... go start your OWN thread. Anyway, moving forward; D.K.K. member Dave Purnell still owns his 1970 Cal Looker that he built in 1979. (http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj128/Rennsurfer/PurnellsBug.jpg) It started out life as his dad's daily driver as Yukon Yellow. He had it sprayed Porsche India Red, and added EMPI 14" & 15" eight spokes. When Dave and I were building our cars together, I worked as a mechanic at his dad's garage, right after Frenchy had left to go work for To#¤ta. Dave still has this car and the license plate: CA LOOK. AWESOME! Car still has it's D.K.K. club stickers, too. Now THAT'S a survivor... super fast two liter/48 IDA engine still runs hard, as well. D.K.K. is lucky to have so many surviving Cal Lookers in it's midst. Title: Re: The Survivor Thread.......... Post by: nlvtinman on January 19, 2011, 01:48:29 am Gary, PM sent.
Steve Title: Re: The Survivor Thread.......... Post by: Rennsurfer on January 19, 2011, 01:53:18 am Fabian, if you're referring to the light blue car on this side of the Oval, that looks like Tod's Blue Hawaii. I forget which issue and what magazine it was featured in. Those BRMs ended up on Dave Kanase's black car, too. But if it's the car on the other side, that looks like one of the Dean brother's cars. I have a picture of my car with Fuchs 2.0 Liter wheels next to Dean's '67, somewhere. I'm sure you can find it quicker than me.
(http://cal-look.no/lounge/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=14810.0;attach=48461;image) Tod's Bug was a '65, too... IF that's the car I'm thinking of. I'm old and the memory tends to fade. ;D By the way, that picture has been poached by somebody... the original one hangs in my house, framed. It's 8"x10" and my childhood friend and photography mentor, Ray Zimmerman, climbed up in a tree at O.C.I.R. to capture that shot. It won him an A+ for a college photography class project, displaying color. I watermarked the original version... since then, someone's cropped out the rest of the club display in the background.

I watermarked the original version... since then, someone's cropped out the rest of the club display in the background. mark it's me who cropped the pictures , I thought that by refocusing it, she would seem bigger sorry for that fabs Title: Re: The Survivor Thread.......... Post by: Rennsurfer on January 19, 2011, 19:38:46 pm No worries, Fabian... Tod's car was very light blue and appears white in some photos. Don't worry about the picture, either... once images are on the 'Net, they tend to get poached and redone. Long as there's no one claiming to have taken the photo and putting their credit on images... that's what I don't get. People are lazy and can't create their own memories.

it was featured in Volkswagen classics fall 1983. together with a very nice yellow convertible ghia. and somehow i though this was Tod's car from another topic, but that is something else. anyway that 65 is one hell of a nice car and sums up a good mix of classic callook with some 80's toughess, like the mirror, the blue tin and enginesize. but i would like to know a lot more about it and especially see some more pictures of it. sorry no scanner to share the article or pics on a sidenote there are some more nice cars in the mag, they belonged to the workers of the Lakewood Motors agency.

After Bugs For Breakfast this month. I followed him home as he drove his '59 and the car looks BITCHEN (no other term fits) in motion. ;) The '65 was his daily driver and it was much nicer than my club car... let alone my DD.

Post by: Rennsurfer on January 21, 2011, 01:14:56 am OK, since everyone is starting or has to start a new topic, i am highjacking this one to talk a bit more on Todd Fullers car... ;D it was featured in Volkswagen classics fall 1983. together with a very nice yellow convertible ghia. and somehow i though this was Tod's car from another topic, but that is something else. anyway that 65 is one hell of a nice car and sums up a good mix of classic callook with some 80's toughess, like the mirror, the blue tin and enginesize. but i would like to know a lot more about it and especially see some more pictures of it. sorry no scanner to share the article or pics on a sidenote there are some more nice cars in the mag, they belonged to the workers of the Lakewood Motors agency. Tod's '65 was one nice car. As for the Lakewood Motors cars... I'm wondering if Marc Souter's(sp?) Bug is one of those cars. That article might have been done after he left that dealership, though.

Can't believe no-ones pointed out Mike Mahaffey's split in Ultra VW magazine this month, in the Mooneyes show report! IF indeed it is the same car, someone has had a taste by-pass. It looked better in red on Page 1 of this thread, but not as good as it did in green, and its hard to imagine it looking worse! White window rubbers? :o Title: Re: The Survivor Thread.......... Post by: deano on February 04, 2013, 06:15:19 am Ah, don't be too sure about that Split in Japan. I took a bunch of photos of it, and sent them to Mike and Ed and they both said there was way too many changes from original (when they had it), for those to not show up now. They seriously doubt it. (things like the rear apron, heart taillight lights, license plate light and many more... The last they hear about it was in fact still in Hawaii...
