An old issue of Hot Cars with the Lightning Bug on the front and a vintage Drag Scoop program with the Mouse Trap on the cover !

 Grin

Got up early to bid on that one and it went silly!!!! $168.50!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did it have anything else inside about MouseTrap or just the picture on the front??

All of that coiled wire, colored components, Carrera fan shroud, missing fresh air hoses... yep, THAT'S the real Cal Look. You're onto to something, there.

Good luck at the show. Scott Schroeder used to show something like that at the old Bug-Ins. GOOD TIMES.

Yep! Way too many goodies to list... noticed all of that. I'm gonna keep an eye out for an upcoming issue of Hot VWs. Seriously... that would be cool if they actually did an article on it. Change things up a bit.

AH-HAHAHA!!! Good one.

C'mon, carpeted interior door frames, steering wheel, and safety handle (over glovebox)... what's not to like? It's probably so quiet in that cabin, you'd hardly hear the engine. GOOD STUFF! Get that thing running. Put a huge good running powerplant underneath all of that and blow minds at the track and on the street. DO IT.
