Can busses ever be cool Cal-Lookers?

[benssp]

Yes

[Harry/FDK]

If i could afford one: Lowered, Erco's or Steelies, IDA motor like above.

[Rick Meredith]

You forgot Paul Chee

Refresh my memory, Rick... I remember the name, but which Bus did he have?

 

White over blue Mid '60s Split Window running Alloys... Fuchs... I still can't call them that... they will always be Alloys.

[Rick Meredith]

Most of the Type 2s that I've seen hardly seem Cal Look to me. There's a very small handful of 'em that have caught my attention:

Sean Lucero (D.K.K.) had a gorgeous royal blue late model ('74-'77) panel w/911 alloys and engine. SUPER fast and lowered just right.

Paul Mayeda (D.K.K.) had a very clean '71 that was Ruby Red or something like it. All stock, sat perfect, and had BRMs. Single FourTuned quiet pack. HUGE sunroof in the back. I always enjoyed sitting in the back of that thing, cruising w/the top open.

Mark Ito (D.K.K.) had a cool lookin' root beer brown & white '67 with 911 alloys. I forget which engine he had, but it wasn't stock. We went to Bug-O-Rama in 1981 with our cars.

John Blesgraaf's super sanitary white '69 was featured in Volks World, October of 2007. Other than the rear end sitting too low, it's perfect. Un-polished 911 alloy wheels look SO right at home on that vehicle. Just a bigger engine, and it would be a blast to drive.

that red bus was paul mayeda bus and that blue one at bug in 26

The Red Bus is Paul Mayeda's. The blue one was probably just some stocker... Ya always needed a Bus to house the keg!

Now look what you have done Fabian, you went and posted some really old pics that may be offensive......  Hah!  Lyle Schaffer, absolutely one of the funnest people ever showing his third leg (almost).
That other pic with me (I was skinny) and the others on the roof and Hicken at the keg in Lyles bus, and then hippy Meredith with the porn 'stache'.... beautiful.  Absolutely beautiful.  You can kinda see Luceros bus on the far right with his hot blonde gfriend in the back.

Oh yeah, as Fred/Mark said Sean Lucero's Bay window had the 911 6 motor in it and she pulled strong.  It was a bit of work to get it all to fit but it hummed.  The guy never seemed to jump on it tho.  It had blue shag carpeting and a small fridge in it, ALWAYS fully stocked (not for long) and I also remember some surf art airbrushed on the inside door panel.  All orangy and 70's looking, like that era's T-shirt art.  Anyways, Fabian stop posting porn!

And yes I believe a Bay window CAN be Cal Look

Porn Stache... hehehehe...

[Zach Gomulka]

Good eye Bill, I thought that was Dan Sikich's ghia at first, my black ghia next to the bus. Oh ya and a couple of bug ins ago Steve towed the 62' to the bug in behind the bus

[Rick Sadler]

Or this?

[Worm]

That is one sweet set up.

[Martin Greaves]

Took this on my phone this weekend.

Still need to do the plumbing.

[Rennsurfer]

Great looking engine, Boom Boom.

[Martin Greaves]

Thanks Fred like to keep things simple a bit like myself.

[Cheesepanzer]

More motor will be coming soon in this one

Zach, I dig your SC.  Great inspiration for me on what to do with my own.  I've left mine stock height, but I've been seriously considering lowering it when I bolt on my new rims.  Yours looks great, especially with those rims.  I have questions and will send you a note.

Please could you post old and new pics of the Chick Iverson OCIR bus ?
Thanks in advance,

[speedwell]

franck i don't really think there's a lot of pictures from the old one , or if you can see the bus it was smaller because he was always on the rear side of the track i know he had sprinstars at the beginning and after have chaparral or ansen wheels

[speedwell]

 

[speedwell]

here're 2 old pictures , on the 1st we can see that the bus had ansen wheels

[speedwell]

 

[speedwell]

2 mores back from the day this time with the sprinstars 

[speedwell]

he was there too when the lightning bug was crashed @bug in 3

[Nico86]

Funny how you can spot this bus on some vintage pics, always on the back or half-hidden by "more interesting" cars that were the theme of the pics in this era.

What happenned to the real bus ? It dissapear when the track closed down ?

[speedwell]

not sure nico , on the entire report of bug in i've , this one appears to the early one , after on lot of pictures there's an ambulance and others cars than the OCIR bus 

and don't know what happens to this one

[DKK Ted]

Back to the subject, I hope so, my wife has a 66' bus that's in storage, planning on doing a Cal-Look Bus, stock height out back and a lowered stance up front with a nice engine. Will see when its time to do it.
Carry on gentleman!

Ted
