Hi All US guys!



Is there any of you guys that knows this 1957 Diamond Green Oval?
It has been owned by Brian Cox and a guy called Larry Jarvis.
The new owner "Gregg Hannon" lives in Florida, but I think the car originally is from North Carolina.

Thanks for your reply

I think the car looks solid and it sounds like a fair deal, it has the potential to be change to a really nice cal-look/street racecar or DRKC style, only with a few changes.
It reminds me of François "Shrek" Delvaux Green Oval from SCC2008 , and ever since that weekend I have that car in my mind day and night.  Cheesy

If that cool Oval is in your mind 24 hours a day, look for January or February 2004 issue of Super VW, the feature of Aaron Broughton's Diamond Green Oval with Fuchs, you won't sleep after that  Cheesy

It would be cool to see how that Florida Oval evolves in your hands.

Yeah, Aaron Broughton's car was amazing! It was also featured in Ultra VW (issue 12 i think?) Amazing car!

Hi

Yes I know Cheesy, I have a issue from Ultra VW magazine I think it's from 2004 hanging on my wall in our great room, that car is just so nice but it's on an other level than this one, almost to nice to use as many other great looking cars, and you know me, I would like to use my car.  Wink

And I have kept the detailed Fuchs wheels from the yellow split  Wink

Get rid of the "slammed" look and alter the stance to be more Cal Look and it'll be a good lookin' car. Good luck with your venture.

Please tell me if you know anything about the car I need to know?

Yes this is exactly the plan together with some needed stuff for the track, but lets see if this car comes to Scandinavian .

Maybe someone here on The Lounge lives near by and could go over and have a look for you and take the pictures you want? Just a idea......

Whatever you decide - good luck! - and I mean that in a positive way!
