Title: other forgotten cars from the 80's...but still cool
Post by: Jim Ratto on May 08, 2007, 22:40:11 pm
Black '67 street and strip sedan from Hawaii, I think....had polished Porsche alloys and IDA motor. Owner's name was Wade, I think. Any pics or details on this car?

Metallic blue sedan from Northern Calif....1965 I think, ran detailed 911 alloys, had 2332 ARPM'd case, old Super Flows, 48IDAs, 911 fan and shroud...."Pete's Dragon"...I have a few snapshots of the car from old Baylands and Pleasanton shows. My old boss built the motor.

Kelly-green Karmann Ghia, with 911 alloys, IDA motor, think the car had air-conditioning.... anybody remember it?

wish I had my old magazines.... ::)

Wade hung out with Mike Smith as i recall.  That car did silly wheelies. I seem to recall stories of him delivering pizzas in that car.  :)
