Title: Re: CAL-LOOK vs CONVERTIBLE Post by: Jordy/DVK on June 02, 2008, 19:56:29 pm I LOVE CONVERTIBLES!!! Karmann convertibles are by far my most favourite VWs, with a split vert being the most favourite.
2nd favourite would be a '67 or a semaphore vert and for the 3rd place any pre '70 vert will do... The Cal-look is perfectly applicable to a vert imho... Title: Re: CAL-LOOK vs CONVERTIBLE Post by: richie on June 02, 2008, 21:19:50 pm richie has one... Nicolas, mine is different,I think mine falls into the resto-cal style as all these Cal lookers have chrome :P :D cheers richie,uk Title: Re: CAL-LOOK vs CONVERTIBLE Post by: nicolas on June 03, 2008, 07:38:40 am richie has one...

That car looks very familiar... I bought that car around 1981/2 ish. The car was a 60 convert and was restored by an older guy in Irvine. I first put the motor and trans from my KG into it, left it stock looking for a while. After about 4 months I lowered it, put in a 2180 SPG roller / 48 IDA motor. I lived in Orange at the time so you might have seen it around Camelot or Carls Jr. We also went to Whittier Blvd. That car was involved in A LOT of street racing. I had American 5 spokes on it for a while too, they came off of the ex John Lesley / Harvey Rosenthal bug.

Who owned that Yellow Vert with the Al Martinez paint sticker? Title: Re: CAL-LOOK vs CONVERTIBLE Post by: speedwell on January 13, 2011, 17:18:25 pm Who owned that Yellow Vert with the Al Martinez paint sticker?

Title: Re: CAL-LOOK vs CONVERTIBLE Post by: speedwell on January 13, 2011, 20:11:00 pm Nah, its gotta be another. scott that stickers is a dsk one so it should be shubee 67Title: Re: CAL-LOOK vs CONVERTIBLE Post by: Worm on January 14, 2011, 01:26:10 am I am still not sure about that. But, truth is you are probably right. I seem to remember back then another car... a bit lighter in color, a little shinier. You are probably right. Hey, I'm old..... this shit is hard to remember. I can't remember what I had for breakfast.
Title: Re: CAL-LOOK vs CONVERTIBLE Post by: 61SNRF on January 14, 2011, 03:32:06 am .Shubee[attachment=1] Where was this shot taken Scott, El Dorado park? Looks like he's parked next to a Deek LOL.On topic, I think they make a very cool Cal-Look. I agree they look better with side trim. The tall doors need it to look in proportion*. A '67 is probably going to make the best, although the black one a few pics back looks awesome with the chromies/nipples and biscuit interior. But, if you're on a budget, there's a lot more money to be spent on the coachwork, which leaves less for HP!. *Little known secret. An old original member of DSK once had an early Convertible that was slated to be the ultimate Cal-Look convertible. That was when we were in ours twenty's and the plan was to section the tops of the doors and quarters to narrow and reduce their height so they looked more in proportion with the trim shaved. Well, the doors and quarters were cut to section out about an inch or so out of the top. The project lay in waiting for several years, things went on and ultimately it was never finished.
