inside we found 2 scheel 100 bucket seats   ,vdo gauges , the doors panels were stock units  an lecarra steering wheels  ???

in which vw club that car was at that time  ??? dkp , dvb , dsk  ??? do you remember

Amazing car!!! Late 70ies cal-look at it's best!!  :o

i second that jelle! some very nice cars come from that era

That's a great car.   8)

I want a cocoa mat that goes over the tunnel in the front.   :-\

is that not the car that turned up last year?  old dkp car? june 77 issue front cover

you said this one mickael , watch there's some difference: seat , antenna , external mirror , no handle inthe front decklid ,  no club badge or something like that on the top of decklid ...

That was a great car and the best part.......those sexy Scheel seats!  :)

The other 67 appears to be the same car as shown on the cover of the June 77 DKP issue and the Feb 80 Cal-Look issue of HotVWs.  Has there ever been another cal-look car that was on the cover of HVWs twice....yet never actually featured inside?

Jim just purchased probably one of the nicest '67 verts ever restored (when was the last time you saw a Java Green convertible?). He now lives just outside Phoneix and won Best of Show at the Copper State event. A little background, remember Greg Aronson's cream white 356 Porsche convertible with the VW 2000cc slipper skirt engine? Well, when Greg sold his condo in Yorba Linda (now this is years ago), Jim not only bought the condo, but the Porsche 356 as well! Package deal. I recall Jim showing that red '67 at the Bug-Ins, super nice guy. Glad he is back into VWs.

That is a VERY nice car!!!

Add to that, Jim was by the Dealership a month or two ago in a beautiful, RED, 356 Porsche...some guys NEVER change! 8)

Ok then....two questions.
1) What happened to Jims 67 sedan?
2) Who owns the other 67 pictured here.  (feel free to email me direct so that it doesnt wind up in Europe!)   ;D

Your BAD! ;D  I'll check with the Thurbs...I think he's got Jim's number.

Your starting to sound like a certain Mr. Plow !
 ;D

hey sarge did the 356 have BRM's on it? when I worked at Auto Haus I Remember a Bitchen  Red 356 coming in all the time it had an IDA motor and BRM's Nice Car

No....1964 or 65 C model with chromies.  Totaly restored down to the black and red cocoa mats...BEAUTIFUL 8) 

back in the 70's there were two 356's running around Buena Park one was nice India Red 356A with BRM'S and an IDA motor and the other was a beater dark blue 356B with BRM'S BRM'S Look Bitchin on a 356

some few example of 356A with BRM'S  ;)

röchel.....

very nice.... i will test 5 spokes on a B T6.....

I kept the picture in this reply to have something to compare to.

Back to the red cal-look cars. Is it the same car?

It could be: Scheel seats probably worn out over the years, move the antenna, replace antenna with a original piece, remove handle on the hood, change mouldings around the door windows (maybe it has just worn of the black paint..) . If it's a DKP car wouldn't the owner remove the club badge before it was sold? you can actually see that there has been a badge on top of the hood.

No they are not the same car.
As mentioned above, the other red car was on the cover of HVW twice.  Both cars were around in the late 70s

is Jim was introduced into the dkp ???

The ratty car shown at the Classic a couple years ago is without a doubt the car on the cover of the Feb 1980 issue, but I dont thing it is the Logudice car

Photo taken sometime after April 1975 (one-piece windows on Ex-Deano car) and before early 1976. Nothing to do with a DKP members' meet...

anybody notice the higher aspect tires on the front of Holmes' 63 and higher ride height?

Is the ratty car still owned by the same guy that had it back in the 80's? Really cool survivor.. Any more pics of it in its current state?

Really liking the body colored head light rings with the lucas turn signals. Hood has been shaved of the handle too. Very clean look.

thx keith  ;)

 if i remember well that deano who said that the pictures of the feb80 was taken the same day as the june 77 issue

Funny, that's my wallpaper ( in this time ) ...  :o

Good one fabian !
 :D

Good eye.... That photo was taken after the front end crash that required a new front beam, sheet metal and so on.....

That Red Porsche that Shubee mentioned used to run around Lakewood as well. Would always see it on South St. ( Orangethorpe) He ran around with a guy that had an identical car except it had white EMPI 5's on it . I thought it was the same car with different wheels for the longest time, until I saw them driving together.
