Title: Re: I said I never would.. Post by: danny gabbard on October 09, 2008, 05:45:20 am Hey lanny again a very very nice car! I don't know about you but when there done there done, And you probably had two or three cars already built in your head by the time you had your 67 finished. The next one will even be more cutting edge than the last, Keep up the good work and guys like you keep this hobby fresh!
Title: Re: I said I never would.. Post by: nicolas on October 09, 2008, 07:21:18 am wow! i can't believe it as it is such a nice car. the only thing that could ever be done to make it better is to dechrome it ;D, so i guess this car is indeed pretty perfect in it's concept.
but i can understand it as it is all done, so if you have a new project that could mean a new challenge and hopefully that will come out as nice as this one. good luck (and make it a dechromed one) Title: Re: I said I never would.. Post by: rick m on October 09, 2008, 07:25:00 am Lanny,
We've all been where you are at. I stated I would never sell mine too but things come up and change takes place. The beauty of it all is you can create another masterpiece like the brown car! I never thought I would sell the attached 67 either. It ended up paying for my wife's new kitchen cabinets and remodeling. She was definitely more important than the car.

Title: Re: I said I never would.. Post by: Lanny Hussey on October 09, 2008, 23:31:11 pm Thanks for the kind words..If it sells, fine, if not, I'll keep it for another 16 years..Just in time for my 5 month old daughter to learn to drive on.. :D

Reminds me of Aaron Broughton's Oval....... a damn fine specimen that was sold all too soon. :-\ Title: Re: I said I never would..

If I re visited all of the memories, I'd surely hang on to it. Old girlfriends ;)..club cruises to Seattle, driving it to The Classic in 97, again in 2000 and 2007, first '12', first 'wheels up' etc.. :)Title: Re: I said I never would..

Post by: Brew 66 on October 11, 2008, 04:27:29 am Lanny,
This should scare you. My daughter Katie has my dad's '68 to drive!!! She really only drives it on weekends, but you know how much my dad loved that car. Should you keep it I'm sure she will appreciate it ;) Title: Re: I said I never would.. Post by: Rennsurfer on October 11, 2008, 04:48:26 am KEEP THE CAR, Lanny. That's one sweet ride. Put it away in storage if you don't want to drive it. Just don't do what I did and sell something that you're going to regret later on.
Funny, I was just reading that issue of Ultra VW (Feb. '08) with your car, today. Title: Re: I said I never would.. Post by: Lanny Hussey on October 11, 2008, 05:28:14 am You may be right Fred. I'm taking it out to a local show with my son tomorrow. We'll see how I feel after driving it for a few hours in the sun. Sure would like to avoid any regrets. I've had the most interest from overseas, I guess the currency conversion is appealing. Bill, at least your dads car won't see any rain.. :) BTW, T2, not a chance.. ;)
Title: Re: I said I never would.. Post by: WCB Hitler's Hot Rod on October 11, 2008, 05:40:57 am Sell DAS BOAT before you sell the '67. Geeezz get your priorities straight man! ;D ;D Knowing you Lanny I'm sure you got something else in the works thats even BADDER!
Title: Re: I said I never would.. Post by: Rennsurfer on October 11, 2008, 05:45:11 am You may be right Fred. I'm taking it out to a local show with my son tomorrow. We'll see how I feel after driving it for a few hours in the sun. Sure would like to avoid any regrets. AWESOME! Glad to hear that, Lanny. See this little orange '66 below? That's been my regret since 1985. Learn from my mistake. HAHA!! At any rate, have fun with your son and car this weekend. Title: Re: I said I never would.. Post by: rick m on October 11, 2008, 11:41:17 am Lanny,
I agree with everyone. To this day, selling my teal green 67 is one of my bigger regrets. It all went to a great cause but I wish I had unloaded something else first. Rick Mortensen Title: Re: I said I never would.. Post by: Lanny Hussey on October 11, 2008, 15:23:29 pm Sell DAS BOAT before you sell the '67. Geeezz get your priorities straight man! ;D ;D Knowing you Lanny I'm sure you got something else in the works thats even BADDER! I knew that would come up. The last time I had the boat out, we had 4 adults and 4 kids in it. Try fitting 2 tall parents and 2 children in car seats in a Beetle. ;) I had a quote to build a 20'X20' garage behind my house..80-100K! That's where the $ would go..ouch. Damn 2010 Olympics! I am on the prowl for a 67 Squareback, that's next..PEPTO!Title: Re: I said I never would.. Post by: speedwell on October 11, 2008, 15:56:15 pm cool next PEPTO
Title: Re: I said I never would.. Post by: nicolas on October 11, 2008, 20:17:13 pm a 67 squareback for your car? where do we make the exchange?
no seriously a square is really, really cool, but i would advice against doing that. can't really think off one squareback being as cool as your car... (even with the trim ;D) Title: Re: I said I never would.. Post by: BLITZY on October 12, 2008, 06:23:41 am Hi Lanny,
I hope your car finds a good home....I just want to share some photos of your '67....Have a great day!!! Paul Title: Re: I said I never would..
