The Cal-look Lounge

I found this photo of a magazine feature somewhere online some time ago. I was hoping one of you would have more information on the car or knows which magazine (Volksworld i think?) and when this was featured.

Thanks.

It's a cool car. Volksworld featured it. It had a number plate something like 11secvw but never ran that fast iirc.
Was for sale on oldbug.com ages ago

Seem to remember it was in an issue with a red '67 cab on 17" Porsche twists on the cover. Around 2004ish I think.

It was built by a guy named Roger, cannot seem to remember his last name @ the moment.  Mark H. had a huge hand in the car, very nice hi-end build & I think NOS was supposed to be part of the 11 sec potential. I think it sold for about 17k @ one of the local auctions around here. Pennies on the dollar for what it cost to build.    Bill

Roger Sailor (not sure of the spelling though)

Hi Bill!

Thanks guys!

Did some more searching and it was covered in the feb 2007 Volksworld. I will get a copy on ebay.

if you're just interested in that article I could scan it for you?

Yes it was volksworld a callook edition.
Think speedwell here on the forum his car was in that magazine as well.

Henk!!!

correct henk , kurt was in  too

Lots of fiberglass, carbon and lexan in that car. I remember the article well.

I got the article from Bean. Thanks and this is why the lounge is such a cool place.

Bumping a VERY old thread! Any idea where this car is now? Its badass!

it got sold on old speed . I think if you google it you end up with those pictures and add. it had Fuchs and centrelines in the add. great car. shame it never had the attention it deserved

Found a few for sale ads for the car when I googled it:

So after asking where this car was 2 years ago in this thread, I've managed to purchase the car!

Here it is in my garage :)

Looking for any pictures or info people may have about the car and its travels all around the USA and Canada since 2007 ending up with me in Vancouver, BC, Canada. The car fortunately remains relatively untouched from when Roger Sailor finished the car in so-cal circa 2007.

Wow! Quite the update on this one, I don't think I've ever even seen it before! I'd love to get some more details if you're up for posting them!

This is the car when it was for sale on oldbug.com many years and owners ago! --> https://www.oldbug.com/11secvw.htm

amazing story! How does it drive? A 2332 with  a FK46 must be a blast!

great story, would be nice to see some more details of the car  :)
Do you know the overall weight with all these modifications?

The car actually doesn't drive that well at the moment as its been through a lot of owners who haven't maintained it. Only 2000 miles since its resto in 2007, but it needs some TLC.

I'll get it all sorted and then I'm sure it will drive VERY well.

The engine makes a lot of power, comes on strong and sure goes through the close ratio gears quickly!

See the oldbug.com link above with all the details of the car.

Not sure on the overall weight. The car has a lot of fiberglass, lexan and carbon fibre, but also has a cage and sits on an IRS pan, so its probably close to the weight of a stock 1965 beetle.

super excited for you! I like that car a lot. the most with the gasburgers IMHO. but great to see it. and enjoy it.
