Title: Other than VW what other cars do you have ? Post by: Frenchy Dehoux on December 31, 2007, 06:04:29 am Other than our VW the reason why we visit this website to talk and ask questions about our VW. What other cars do you have in your collection if it is showing it or driving it on the weekend let us know what you have. A lot of you know that I like all type of hot rods or either original doesn't matter as long as we enjoy what we have is what makes the hobby very interesting. If you have pictures to post that would be cool to. Other than my stock 64 beetle 67 kombi 52 split 66 ghia ( Deja vu ) 65 vw drag car and a 1958 NSU Prinz. I have been working on my 1932 Ford all steel V12 hot rod for the last 6 years and my plans are to have this car done this year as I have a few other projects waiting for me. Last June I had found the car I had been looking for 27 years ago it was a 1958 Toyopet and parked in a barn in Calousa Calif not too many people know what is a Toyopet . In 1958 they had shipped their first cars in the US 287 Toyopet and 1 Land Cruiser . Not too many of them survived as a lot of them were not very fast on the freeways and customers were not to happy with their performance but customers were able to bring their car back to the dealer and get refunded. Some of these cars were shipped back to Japan or were pushed over the side into the ocean rumors has it. As of today only 4 of them are know in the US I am lucky to have 2 of them one in all original condition with only 48,000 miles and the other a parts car. The oldest one belong to a owner of a dealership in the bay area the second oldest is the one that I own and the third one is in the museum in Torrance California. Lets have everyone share some of their other hobby cars and stories.

You may want to check out this thread over on the early 911S Registry site. Lotsa great early 911's there. http://www.early911sregistry.org/forum/showthread.php?t=3884 I am in a club called the RGruppe which is a hot rod early 911 club patterned after the original DKP. In fact, Roger Grago was one of the founding members. We all recently got together in Daytona for the big Rennsport Reunion. The midwest bunch drove down and the California guys flew out. It was cool, standing around a bunch of Porsches talking about VWs with Roger G, Scott Henry, Whit Hayden, Harvey Weidman and a bunch of other old Cal-look guys. :) here is another pic of my car with my buddy Jerod driving and my friend Alan's 69"S" targa on the trip to Daytona.

Yes, went on one rally with Roger and I'm guessing a club he belonged to years ago. Fun stuff but turned into more of a race through the canyon then a rally..ha! It was OK with me but my wife was a little on edge through it all. ;D I see the Hayden Bros. all the time. There just down the street from me and they service my car. Doug just help me out in getting my seats redone in leather. All original looking now along with the good leather smell... :) Fun seeing the pictures you posted of my car from the mag.

Sort of an impuse buy, hopefully never own another new car ever. What's wrong with it? I mean - what's wrong with new Mustang, not with buying new cars. Actually the Mustang is great, I was referring to buying new cars. I feel you lose too much when buying a brand new car, would rather buy a recent used if I were going with something late model. Just my opinion--I can't really even talk, I have driven mostly sub-$1000 cars my whole life. :-) As for the Mustang, I like it a whole lot. Ford really did a good job...the sound, the feel, the look. And it isn't all that slow, either. Title: Re: Other than VW what other cars do you have ?

Those new mustangs seem fun - simple, cheap, simple, big engine, rear wheel drive and simple again ;) because simplicity is rare thing in modern cars. I've never driven one so I was curious how they are in reality. Title: Re: Other than VW what other cars do you have ?

Do you do the Fabulous Fords Forever show @ Knott's in April? Kevan Let's see. 130K on it. Complete and restorable. Been sitting since '96. Bought it in August of '85. It was "Cal-Looked" lowered, original cast wheels were polished then chromed with the backgrounds painted white to match the body. All the emblems were removed but I added an SVO sticker emblem off an '84 on the hatch. All the black plastic was painted white. I'm losing my storage space for it so I'll have to get it running soon. Just needs a good going through to be drivable. I used to do the Fab Fords show for years. I sat on on the Council that promotes it for a couple of years. It's probably been 4 years since the last time I went. That '90 GT sounds like fun!

Post by: jholmes on January 25, 2008, 02:40:52 am Other than our VW the reason why we visit this website to talk and ask questions about our VW. What other cars do you have in your collection if it is showing it or driving it on the weekend let us know what you have. A lot of you know that I like all type of hot rods or either original doesn't matter as long as we enjoy what we have is what makes the hobby very interesting. If you have pictures to post that would be cool to. Other than my stock 64 beetle 67 kombi 52 split 66 ghia ( Deja vu ) 65 vw drag car and a 1958 NSU Prinz. I have been working on my 1932 Ford all steel V12 hot rod for the last 6 years and my plans are to have this car done this year as I have a few other projects waiting for me. Last June I had found the car I had been looking for 27 years ago it was a 1958 Toyopet and parked in a barn in Calousa Calif not too many people know what is a Toyopet . In 1958 they had shipped their first cars in the US 287 Toyopet and 1 Land Cruiser . Not too many of them survived as a lot of them were not very fast on the freeways and customers were not to happy with their performance but customers were able to bring their car back to the dealer and get refunded. Some of these cars were shipped back to Japan or were pushed over the side into the ocean rumors has it. As of today only 4 of them are know in the US I am lucky to have 2 of them one in all original condition with only 48,000 miles and the other a parts car. The oldest one belong to a owner of a dealership in the bay area the second oldest is the one that I own and the third one is in the museum in Torrance California. Lets have everyone share some of their other hobby cars and stories. Thanks Frenchy Frenchysrides.com Here's a couple shots of my '66 911 I purchased after selling my White Car back in '79. Still have the car today! ;D Title: Re: Other than VW what other cars do you have ?
