$28,500 = £15k

YOu couldn't build a car like this for that money.

http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=472020

I bet I could. That ones been for sale for awhile now.

yep it has been featured in hotvw's and bam! it was for sale on the samba... it sure is a nice car, but at that price... but we allready elaborated on the subject. and since it is not sold allready  ;)

Agreed. Its all off the shelf stuff too. I bet you could build it with a real GT steering wheel, real burners, real early Berg shifter, ect for that money.

The problem we have in the UK is that it's not just a case of altering the car generally speaking, it's more a case of cutting it up and rebuilding it first and before you've got to any of the accessories you can easily burn that money in body and paint alone, this makes a California car appealing. For the accessories along the lines of those you mentioned among others you have better swapmeets too, infact you guys have it easy! Whilst you might be able to build that there it would be a tougher prospect here. Not impossible, but certainly tougher.

:D

I know what you are saying, we definitely have it easier over here. If I was on your side of the world, I would have a different hobby!! ;)

If I were into this hobby here I think I'd probably get different hobby! Oh... I think I have to go now...

 :D

a chessclub meeting to attend ???

That car is pretty cool. You european guys have it easy because you just open your checkbook and bring all of the U.S cars over there for cheap, which means you are not really vw enthusiasts ;D

I know where somebody can get a deal on some crappy 88mm liners...74mm crank....some old tractor cam.....CHEAP.  ;D

 >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

I'll give you $5.00

that much? Wow...ok....SUCKER

 :o

that was 5.00 Pesos by the way.....

How did you guess?   :o


What's 5.00 pesos? sorry I lost track.. sounds like a buy!  ;D

What's 5.00 pesos? sorry I lost track.. sounds like a buy!  ;D
[/quote]

it equals to like .50 cents of dollar....... $5.00 mexican pesos.......   :D :D :D  Great buy!!!  :D :D

PM sent Jim.
can you give me some better details?

i signed up myself, all the trills i got from going down the dragstrip at Bitburg... i don't know if can live with that much excitement

15K pounds sterling not enough in the Uk to build that car...

parts alone would be 10-12K UKP

this excludes the labour to do everything.

I have no idea what you're talking about...  ;D

Yeah, if I had the money i would start buying up all those cheap Hi-po parts on the Samba and start shipping them across the pond to sell.

Raise the suspension back up, big and littles on some real wheels (maybe real empi 5's?), sell the stock crap and bumpers, stab in a big motor and you've got a split looker!!  ;D

Oh, dont get me started on that seume guy, he is a real poser. I think he wrote some book a while ago.... :D

I like that car! Here it is a couple years ago at the Classic.

Agreed, that's a GREAT car.  I got to check it out at Bug-In 32, love it.  Very similar to the sunroof that the girl from the "Fireflys" (?) owns.  Not enough pics of those cars.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/SanchoPancho/Scandinavian%20Cal%20Look%20Classic%202006/SCC2006MS039.jpg)

 :)

Nice car! Now lets see the girl!!!  ;D :D

!  :o  ;D

That's the car!  I think the only thing I don't like about the US car is the Porsche seats.  Wrong era, it seems.

yes tessa car's cool
, nice ride tessa  8)

Those pics must have been taken at two different locations. Seems like I like to park next to her :-)

Who doesn`t like to park next to a nice girl?

hehe  ;D

and i'm loving those dual QPs! what are they? CB performance?

Me too! I'd also like to know what brand they are?

Parking next to is not as good as parking with?  ;)

--louis

Tessa´s car and Torgeir´s orange ´57 on the other thread here where the cars that got me into cal-look.
AWESOME cars the both of them!

the gas burners in the pictures (and currently stillon the car) are real. he lowered the price of the car and you get fake ones for that new low price.

http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=450520
10,500 Sterling will take it. The pix don't do it justice. Free shirts included.. ;)

http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=519819

CB dual mufflers, it has been modifyed a bit to fit better + it has a large flange instead of the small one it comes with..

That's bloody gorgeous , that's a giveaway  :o :o

That is my friends car. It is super solid basis for any type of rebuild, but needs some paint work.

just made a little sex wee  :P :P :P :P

Good luck with the sale  ;)

Hey, control yourself there!   ;D

I took a ton of pics today and I am going to put an ad on the Samba, look for it.   

My goal for the '65 was to restore it totally like factory, then do some mods to it, as if the car was bought off the lot in '65 and then had some bolt on mods done.  I think I achieved my goal.   ;D

One of you guys in the UK or Europe need this car.....

even at the buy it now price bargain!!!!!

Pink car for the wife.

(http://i7.ebayimg.com/07/i/000/b2/86/2fe5_3.JPG)

Change the interior and yes its lush

i want it!


does that say anything about my masculinity???


only brave man wear pink

I know that car very very well.  It is a great car and whom every picks that car up is getting a HELL of a deal at 12k.

Jeff

There has been some serious interest in the car of late. I am only getting rid of it due to the ever increasing lack of space. I just bought another ex-DRKC ghia that needs work and is perfect for the track,...SG or maybe SC?  If the car does not sell, I will change the color or the colour. Not sure what it would cost to get it over the pond, but still a great deal. It would cost me at least three or four times the "buy it now" price to replicate.

If I keep it: colour change, new interior, and drop spindles with rader wheels, new stereo, engine tin repant. It will have to be a body off as the original build in mid 90's had every nut and bolt painted, chromed or polished with most of it pink! The engine/tranny combo are perfect for a driiver so those will stay.  The wife can't operate the standard transmission, so I am building her a full auto 66 T34. Parts are a pain in the arss to get her in California.   The more I talk about it or drive it, the more I want to keep the car. Hope I don't end the auction early.

Spill the beans ;D Is it Brian De La Incata's(sp)? I've always loved his gnarly burn outs.

Grab it, put a hot engine in it, take it to the track. Then people will have to explain how they lost to a pink vw.  :D

--louis

Brian who? ;) I can't spell it or even pronounce it.

This ghia has sent many people home having to explain how they lost to a pink car. 

This is getting silly , you would be pushed to put a motor together over here in the UK for this sort of money  :o

http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=518587

Yeah, that is about the cost of the motor here too.

--louis

A beautiful X-mas present.....
Enjoy !

Not cal-look, but worth sorting out the incorrect stance.

http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=499432

this is silly money: $7800

and the ad says original BRMs  :o

I think he would now if they were real BRM`s. I dont believe it, and I think the reason why the front centercaps isn`t put on the rims is because their fakies.....I`m not saying I`m right, but if he is selling the car and know the value of real BRM`s he would find out for sure....he cant be that stupid.

I will probably hang for this when the cars sells and it turns out to be real ones  ;D

Either way the car would be a bargain and it looks cool, great stance...

The first car is overpriced – you're paying for a ton of stuff you'd never want. The paint may be good (or at least, when it was done) but do you really want to pay top-dollar for a car that will need to be repainted – unless you want to drive a car in orange pearl... You're also paying for a ton of other stuff you don't want – yucky chrome repro five-spokes, accessories etc etc...

The second car is a typical "10 yard (metre!)" car. – look at the paint sprayed over the door locks, wiring etc, the baggy seat covers.... Because a car is in SoCal doesn't mean it's rust-free, arrow-straight and built like a Boyd hot-rod... That's a car I would personally stay away from, unless you can see it first hand and drive it.

Caveat emptor... :-X

Got myself a bargain in the states ;) its small but very much a giant killer

Here's another , new year new project ?

http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=493015

....W T F  :o

Way to nice to cal-look

http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=557882
Go on do it!!!!!!! ;D

I saw that last night and thought the same thing! ;D

i saw it and said yes that should be cal looked... its been repainted so not original, therefore no point in keeping it that way, if it was original paint i would agree to leave alone, but its not.

LOL Russell is it on its way to you yet??  ;D ;D

Way too nice NOT to Cal-Look.

Anyone can restore a VW... it takes a real man to Cal-Look it!  ;D

Gary NO not for me..... However you do have something i really really need, please help me out mate.

It really needs color matched fender welting and running boards. Also has early window cranks, but I suppose that could have been carried over from the '66's since it is a first day car. Pretty cool, but I couldnt Cal Look it.

(http://cal-look.no/lounge/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=2796.0;attach=12167;image)

I don`t think I would call that a bargain.

I don't think I can stand those wheels and tires.

not a total bargain but didn't want to start a new thread. Still when you add up a paint, body etc there wouldn't be much change left.   

not cheap these days  ::)

I think they should be two toned black and white... and white walls look weird on anything past '61 ;)
