Title: That green '67 Bug, the Rudy Chavez DKPIII car?
Post by: Jim Ratto on September 08, 2008, 20:47:51 pm
Just a few pics of this car, from that 1992 photo group shot.
Any other info on this car? Is it still around? Was it fast? Any details?
Look like it was a very clean car.

I almost bought that car about 13 or 14 years ago. It was at Pomona for sale. It had a 1776 with baby Dells and I think black Scat pro 90 seats.  I think he was asking $4500 which at the time was a fair price. Today its a steal. The only reason I did`nt buy it was at the time a 67 required an annual smog check and I wanted no part of that. I need to get a time machine.

Schwimmer consistently makes professional lurking look fun. (edit) There... that's now been added to my quote under my avatard.

Was the green car in question in D.K.P. at the time? Looks like some non-club cars in the mix, too.

Stop it ,or you will make me log out & I will lurk as a guest  (like so many others I know).. Rudy was in DKP in the early 90's, everybody in the photo was. We revised our guidelines in the late 90's & some of the cars pictured did'nt quite fit in. All of the Ghia's went to Japan along with Rudy's 67 I  believe. I saw Rudy a while back & he was totally out of VW's & into lowriders.  Hope this helps.  Bill

Actually, joking aside, it does help. I was wondering if all of those cars were in the club, or not. Thanks! Also, that explains where the '67 ended up.
