Title: Wade's bitchin' black '67 street & strip car? Post by: Jim Ratto on October 08, 2007, 20:29:50 pm Who remembers this car? I think it was in the MacAttack issue of Hot VW's (?)
Beautiful black 67, 911 alloys, bad ass IDA motors, if I remember correctly...1 for street and one for strip. Car was timeless. Maybe somebody (hiny hint....fabs ;D) can scan some pics and the article? Thank you. Jim Title: Re: Wade's bitchin' black '67 street & strip car?

Post by: team97 on November 01, 2007, 16:23:01 pm I may be mistaken but I think this car is running around in the City of Orange. It has a 1776 or an 1835? ish motor. The kid who drives it is kind of a squirrel. Greiner at Proformance has done some work on it. Glenn

Post by: Jim Ratto on January 31, 2008, 20:17:20 pm this car deserves a second look....
Title: Re: Wade's bitchin' black '67 street & strip car? Post by: Ivan on January 31, 2008, 20:28:16 pm I remember that car being featured too, and it was very inspirational. Loved the interior and the fact it could lift the front wheels and I can recall thinking how cool it would be to have one hot engine, let alone two.
As for the interior in Sonja Boswick's Black '67 - it never meant anything to me. Although what that has to do with anything, I dunno? Title: Re: Wade's bitchin' black '67 street & strip car? Post by: Jim Ratto on August 03, 2009, 19:52:45 pm bump this topic. Such a timeless car.
8) Title: Re: Wade's bitchin' black '67 street & strip car? Post by: Rennsurfer on August 04, 2009, 02:36:00 am Interesting. The license plate suggests that this was one of the very first '67 Beetles to be registered in California. If, in fact, those are the original plates to the car. Forgive me, I've been a license plate fanatic since I was in first grade (1968).
Carry on. Title: Re: Wade's bitchin' black '67 street & strip car? Post by: Jim Ratto on August 04, 2009, 17:43:50 pm I'd venture to say this car was cooler than Berglar.
Title: Re: Wade's bitchin' black '67 street & strip car? Post by: javabug on August 04, 2009, 20:34:01 pm :o Berg disciples gasp in unison! :o

Title: Re: Wade's bitchin' black '67 street & strip car? Post by: Jim Ratto on August 04, 2009, 21:54:19 pm what's the big deal? This car isn't laden down with heaters, water squirters, and the 7.5:1 motor. This car has everythign needed to kick ass and nothing more. Plus it's a '67 that somebody was kind enough to leave the chrome on.
