The Cal-look Lounge

Hey people - I'm just wondering if any of you guys have some pic's of 1967 Cal Lookers (upright headlamps)

I thinking of buying one and I want to get some ideas  ;D

Thanks for your help dudes  :)

There should be plenty in the "Cool Pics" thread.

long time no see
(http://www.luftkraft.ch/hh03/09.jpg)

isn't there a late lookers thread here somewhere too?

Love the metalic grey one.   ;D

Cheers guys  ;D My personal favourite is the Black one on Fuchs at Volksworld show - I spoted this car from a mile away  :) Everything about it is just spot on!

Here's a pic of what I might be starting with - its still in California :)

looks like something cool to be!

Hopefully dude  :)

Now you would say that wouldn't you!  :D

I love the look of an 67`US with the long frond hood and the -67 Fenders and lamps. The first car that I`ve seen in this look was the car of Gary Berg, the metallic blue one with an 2 litre Engine on IDA`s , it was in the early 80 and the mag was Hot VW`s.

Not bad I suppose  ;D

Yeah, it looks awesome!

Alex Taylor's other 67, when the Black Bitch is tucked up at home he's out in his daily 67....

Cool pic's guys - has anyone got any pic's of "Street Dragon" That has to be my all time favourite Volkswagen  ;D 8)

here you go:

(http://www.atomschlag.com/stdrgn2.jpg)

Cheers dude - That truly is an amazing looking Volkswagen  8)

Sixty Seven Bugs...


SUCK!

  ;)

Just look at this piece of crap...

(http://www.luftkraft.ch/vowo04/37.jpg)

Hardly cool is it? Dirty stinking wheels. That gay decklid. Stupid noisey engine.

Take my advice - don't bother with a '67.

Oh my god  :o Someone's put OG BRM's on a baja!!!!

Stance Police anyone?????? ;D ;D

I think he just wanted some more luggauge space  :D ;D ;)

didn't the streetdragon hit the railguard a few years ago?

Yeah I heard that too - But I did also hear that it had been rebuit and was running on Centerlines  ??? anyone have any info on this subject  ???

Yes it was rebuilt... one of the english mags featured it after the rebuild... I think

What kind of centerlines does it sport, jaix...they should not be on any street driven VW.

Anyways, that was one of very few cars that really stood out from the crowd, even when wearing BRMS, which i'm sick of seeing all the time by the way. A car don't automatically go cal-look just by someone adding BRMS and dropping the nose.

after it crashed 2000 in sacramento

I didn't like to say but yeah - keep to the subject :D

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v493/streetvw/DSCF1071.jpg)

this amazing car belongs to my friend ERIC SIMON.
type1 2332cc with NOS.
much more photos soon

for me the ultimate 67 is this genuine GTV. It was for sale in 2000 at Pomona.
It is now in France.
(http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a266/herrvee/divers/DCP_0253.jpg)

That is bad ass (literally) :D

Nice Car, i like the color: it looks like "Leberwurstgrau" we say here in this area :-)

But i like strange colors....(http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/files/thumbs/dwl-d.jpg) (http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/files/dwl-d-jpg.html)

And what you guys think about european 67 like mine?

what do you prefer??

vert lights or not??

here's mine 67 project
(http://vw.zona13.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=627&g2_serialNumber=1&g2_GALLERYSID=cd5d75cf3c1d49f2c6bbe445f4d9696d)

TD

Vert lights for sure ;D.

Vert lights on '67 are cool 8) 8)

My Savannah Beige swedish import (pic courtesy of Kobus):

does anyone know whether art fitted these small indicators in the headlight bucket himself?
i did see them on ebay somewhere in a store (ISP west perhaps) but i can't find them anymore...

cheers!

Just noticed that he has two different fenders on the car. Looks like the one on the drivers side is a repro..

looks like he's fitted them to the sidelight position

Man,,,,,I don't know how you spotted the fender difference ???, but, remember that Art had to rebuild the car after that mishap in Sacto back in 2000.

Look at the position of the horn grills

yup, now that you mention it...

Doug Mische has the same lights on his 67 as well...I'm thinking Hella, but not sure.

that's what art said in his email too  ;)

gotta love the internet  ;D

They are avaliable through Mid America Motorworks.

It's only fit for scrap then  :o

Hell no, one of the coolest 67s out there..

Actually, the 67 you identify as Doug Mische was actually Scott Bakkens.  I think that this is the same car that later became "Scotts Medfly" and then later the Car Custome sponsored 67

You're right
http://www.800luvbugg.com/shop?frame=2.169.6039 (http://www.800luvbugg.com/shop?frame=2.169.6039)

but you need an installation kit that's more expensive than the sole headlight  :-\

So, here is where all the 67's hang out?

ST DRAGN

Oh, BTW: Alfie, I got a fender for you buddy for a great price... ;)

ST DRAGN

No all US 67 had two different fenders.  :P

(http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b115/gold65turbo/67white7.jpg)

Yep.

I've got some buggy bars for the '67 too, but they're hanging in the garage at the minute....

Fabian The Picture of the DER SELTEN KAFER 67 is a Picture Taken at OCIR when Scott Bakken owned it not Doug Mische

What NO 67 Convertibles?? heres mine

oups  ::)  it's an error gary  ;)

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v483/Heydon/front.jpg)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v483/Heydon/callookporn2.jpg)

It looks better with BRMs,  ;D
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v493/deanovw/h.jpg)

Hullo! ;D

Hey H, sorry to hear about your slipping clutch. I hope the next outing is gremlin free and you can run some numbers.  8)

I'll second that! ;D

Have to disagree guys I LOVE the centerlines  :)

Hi, the pic is not too clear but they are Ercos there. Wheels are great in the way they can change the look arent they!

 I have to agree with you, Erco's are very cool looking wheel, very light in weight. also they are almost a exact copy of the DDS wheel.

But everyone knows Erco's are cool but BRM's rule...

amen.  ;D

i f*cking hate ercos  ::)
surely they're functional, but they are not pretty...

so yes, brems suit the car better  ;) ;D

Going to start trouble here.........

Honestly....isnt the reason we all love BRMs is due to the history and functionality of this famous wheel.  The BRM isnt exactly the most aesthetically pleasing design of all time in fact most people outside of the VW hobby tend to think that they are GASP.....ugly! :o

True, but they have more character that ercos have  :-\

(and to me anything looks better than ercos)

blasphemer,  ;)

 I don't think Deano or Eric had plans to put their wheels on the street ( at least not right away ) however Eric did later on offer a extra spacer between the front wheels for the street. The original design was for "race use only". ;) So, being said that, I believe the main idea was to keep the weight off to, to win races. not to give it the so call pretty look!

"simplicity at it's best"

Erco's for the win I'm afraid  ;D




























Although H's looks better on BRM's  ;)

 ;D ::) ;)

Sarge,
 What did I tell you about buying on-line? :D

Sorry, man...couldn't help myself!

Mines

VERY cool dude!!  8)

i love that first pic with the setting sun ;D

Awesome stance  8)

It's kinda hard to tell from the photo, are you running OG BRM's?

Nice car, NoBars...the color's PERFECT! ;D

Sarge..are you seeing double?.. :D ( my bad )...

looks like it yeah, but i think he running those light weights these days.
(saw other pics on CLF)

Not yet ;)

Wondering what kinda numbers are you "67 Lookers" are running? maybe I should start a new thread here.. ( Na, who am I kidding )... :D

Real numbers? ;D or "Bench racing numbers!) :-)

Good old time slips... ;)

Flat 4 brms

Bogarts for the track

only made 1 pass before I broke the trans, 7.91 1/8, = 12.32 1/4

what time are the JG54 '67s running?  :P

My black 67 ran 13.8. Street tyres with 2160 & fk8.
 
Yet to try the new lump, 2332, fk89 and comp elims.

When I bench race it in my daydreams it runs a 12.  ;D :D

only made 1 pass before I broke the trans, 7.91 1/8, = 12.32 1/4


That's a good number for the first pass of day...

 Hey Alfie, what kinda numbers do you lay down? Your car looks like it halls ass..

James (Alfie), tell him about your "rolling 12"  ;D :o lol!

12.39 on pump gas (90 degrees F)
12.20 with a splash of prop and 50/50 race fuel (spinning the tires at Cbad)
10.86 with the hairdryer.

Cool part is that all those #s were done with 40mm intake valves.   :)

I don't have any of my slips nearby, but I know I was 12.0's on street tires last time I was at the track.


...1/8 mile track...


 :'(

Here is one of my favourit 67 Lookers. it belongs to my friend Karsten and was already shown in this thread, but with a rather small picture. I like the stance and the bad ass attitude! And those rare Remotecs are a nice touch that make it look different from any other 67 Looker.

That is a really nice car. Love the stance.

--louis

Very nice stance..the front end is just the right height..not to low ...

I've got a 12 second timing slip, but some people reckon you need both front and rear wheels behind the line  ???

With the old motor (2109) it ran 14.0's all day long wheel spinning like a mofo. I've got a lairy 2276 going in that i hope will do easy low 13's on street tyres without breaking anything, and 12's on M&H's if it doesn't smash the box to a million pieces  :D

I just can't wait to get it back

Sounds to me like you deep-staged you car..check you 60ft. on the time slip. It should read like a S/S leaves the line..130's ..

See bolded text above, and the related sad face.   ;)

I saw Karstens(DFL) in real life.  Very nice car and I realy like those Remotecs....

It wasn't deep staging, more of a rolling start  :D

Nice try James ;)

(http://i19.tinypic.com/4c0szv7.jpg)

No more convertible lookas...?
It might be the wrong car to start with...?! Or is there just to few with balls...?

Karstens car - long or short axles at the rear?

You've already made an appearance Gaz!

That was back in early 1999,not had paint since apart from a small blemish on the decklid,better without the bumpers and will soon have 2276  ;D

 ;)

Gaz1 are you gonna put Dual QP's back on the car I always prefered them to a big turbo muffler

i agree  ;)

heres how it looked when it first hit the uk streets

nice car kevan! BP

That smoked out look is pretty cool. Did you get your glass from San Bernardino Glass back then?

I used to hate blade bumpers without the guards.. Let alone on a dechromed car... But now, Sh..! The lounge is messing up my head  :D   Way cool car Kevan, color rules!

its all in the details with that one  ;) :)

man! i've just been enquiring about some tints for mine this week,look cool on there

found these on the web..

Two 67 lookers from the DVF. The gold one is Jelle's, the white one is mine.

cool to see more belgium cars come up here  ;D

Thanks!
Crap, that was so long ago, I can't remember where I got the glass from. Pretty sure it was not SB Glass, though.
If you are commenting on my car, thank you!
I sure thought so too! Thanks, thanks a lot you guys, you're making me miss that car more than I had before the compliments!

Kevan :) ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Maiden voyage last June

Beautiful...!   ;)

here is another one from belgium

Where is the second picture taken?? Cool place. How come I can't quote with pics btw?..

They're attachments, not links? If you want to comment using the photo, first download the picture and then upload with your comments.

Here's mine from 1996. It was a pride an joy.

I love 67s, I am going to get one as my next project.  The ST DRAGN and Ivan's 67 are my favourite Beetles of all time

About to shut the door and go 12.66 @ 104, Carlsbad Oct 1999, on pump fuel in my '67

and same car 15 years later

Nice Car Jim.

thanks!    8)

Wow, dredging up some history with this thread!  :)

Another nice 67

carlos 67 look way better with the american racing then the brms

Here are some pics of my buddy Randy's, just finished, clean 67' that he did mostly all the work except paint and headliner and carpet. Also a new DKK member.

Here's a few that showed up for the club meeting at Bill's house last Sunday...

Loving the orange Ghia

Any more details ?

That's a new build that belongs to club member Dustin Patrasek... it's a 1969 and got a full pan-off restoration.
I'm thinking the motor is a 2332 or 2376; lots of nice stuff on board!

Nice pics Jim!  8)

 :-* your free beers are on the way....

i hope this works

some more pics of my car

Ill be taking you up on that Jim!   ;D  What were the choice of beers over the years in the DKP clubhouse meetings anyways?  :D

Love it. That's a nice car!

thanks jim !

Beautiful cal-look motor !  8)

Great pics there Sarge, that sun just seems to add an extra dimension to the colour of your cars. Something i'm very jealous of, with our watery sun here in Scotland.

Just a couple of old fellas hanging out.

Thanks
Jim

sure jim ! I'm not sure you remember but we met like a year or two ago at bens house in whittier, anyway's i had a 67 that i sold and used to the proceeds to move to las vegas in 1998 and thought i would be out of the vw scene forever ( haha ) so about 4 years ago a friend found an almost complete car for my here in the las vegas area, i loved the car but i didn't want the motor as i was recently planning on building a new car i truly wanted an old school cal look motor ! so we purchased the car and he took the motor and i kept the car now for the details on the motor
at it's heart is an old school 76 ems crank with rimco super rods and flywheel which i acquired from Art gutierrez
next up was a set of mahle/cima 94 pistons and barrels and dual relief engine case from D and A racing all additional machine work was done at rimco
for head work i went with CB performance super pro heads 44x37.5 with skat track manifolds match ported by CB performance and CB 1.4 rockers
the carbs were pulled apart and polished by jay cee ent
oil is run through a 4 quart berg sump and filterd through an O'berg filter
the motor was built by dave mcfarlane (mighty mouse)
all fuel lines and oil lines were also fabbed by dave from tmr lines and fittings (all black !)
the CR on the motor is a healthy 10:1 and it has plenty of get up and go !

forgot engle fk87 and engle lifters

thanks sarge  ;D
