[dth]

Ok , im putting this up for sale again , i had it up last year and just couldnt bring my self to part with it ,its had a few improvements ,changes since then , price is the same though.

1967 Cal Looker for sale , California import (2009) , Ex DKP (Phil French) ,Ultra VW Feature car , have a folder full of receipts for the last 15yrs , and also a diary of events,important dates ,inc when the car accepted into the DKP club. DKP  is now 50yrs old , and this car was part of that back in 2000-2002. Still has the club decal in the rear window and also sports a rare original Speedwell decal that was given to Phil by Gary Justus when the car was completed.I contacted the club when I got the car to confirm all the details and they are indeed correct , at that time it was ok to leave the rear window decal in place when selling a car. News just in , possibly the only ex DKP bug that was officially sold with the decals still attached.

The engine currently fitted was built by me and has been in the car for a couple of years now.
Was removed for a short while when I ran a 2276 for Action last year.

Engine will be fully serviced before sale.Red fan shroud can easily be painted black again, i can do this if required , i like the red ,old school look.

very nice prop to hold it open at the bottom to aid cooling , sale includes UK and California.

All in all a very good , useable cal looker that was first built in California ,so its the real deal.

Would maybe do a deal without the engine , or possible px for cheaper ghia/notch+ cash .

at that time it was ok to leave the rear window decal in place when selling a car.

Actually, it never was 'OK' - caused plenty of 'discussion' among members over the years... 

[vwhelmot]

In other words, take that sticker off   

[jamiep_jamiep]

Its part of the car's history as well as the club's...

Credit to the previous owner and you Donald while it's been in your care, having seen it a few times in person if I had the cash this would be sitting on my drive.

I know Gaz Thompson in the Rennwagens never really got over selling his Zenith Blue 67 Don, might be worth dropping him a line )if he's not already reading this right now!).

Didn't the Goss Chop Top have the decals in the mid 90s?

[dth]

 As far as i,m concerned the decal adds to the car , its part of its history ,emailed the club to confirm details ,and they
said it was "ok" for the decal to have been left on the car when it was sold. If anyone feels the need to remove it they
are free to do so , will only cost them £13,750 for the privelege. After that they can paint it pink and fit some 3 spokes,
although i hope they wouldnt. Nothing more to be said on this can of worms, except this ,

DKP is open to clean, fast Street VWs in the spirit of the original California Look

Membership is open to enthusiasts from Southern California

It would appear rules are made to be broken  .

[Fastbrit]

Jesus. Talk about panties on fire. You've all misread (or read too much into) my comment. It's simply that the club rules were always that the decals are to be removed from a car when it's sold. The fact they weren't is a bonus for the new owner, that's all.
FYI, there are two members from outside SoCal – one in Japan, one in the UK. Club's prerogative to decide on membership – and who is granted decals.
I chose to remove the decals from the chop-top and Bluey when I sold them even though they may have added to the value or desirability, and I only know of one club car sold which left the decals in, and this is it. Doug Mische (reluctantly, it has to be said) bowed to pressure to remove the decals before selling his car to Russell. And then (naughtily) gave some more decals to the new owner...
My comment was only that although somebody might have said it's OK about the decals being in the car now, the fact that Phil had left them in the car wasn't a popular move. That's not any criticism of the current owner – more a bonus from his point of view! ;-)
Good luck with the sale – I saw the car up close when it was in Newton Abbott (Heathfield) and it is indeed a typically solid SoCal car.

Hi Keith , i never took any offence to your comment , just having a bit of fun , good to hear some insider
information regarding these things , i,ll maybe bump up the price if its a one off . Ye we had a sneaky
look at your Porsche when we collected the car , i think it was just out the paintshop

Who owned it there Keith?

[Fastbrit]

I think it was just in the workshop...

It was the guy i bought it from Jamie , he had it stored in with some very nice Porsches , while his other car was getting the engine from this one fitted to it.

[Eddie DVK]

so what.
Let the guy sell his beautifull EX DKP car in this thread.

Start your own sticker thread/topic.

[Frank LUX]

Hmmmmm! have to sort of agree with Keith; .....like wearing a Hells Angels jacket without being a member?? I would imagine the actual members would be pissed knowing what they had to do to join the club!

Or using the Name "Hitler" as a Username..,. Think that's cool....NO....

[WCB Hitler's Hot Rod]

[dth]

All MOT,d again and good to go

[dth]

On the road and running well , still for sale if anyones after a proper looker

[dth]

Not really been pushing this , but could do with moving it on just now,
sale or px on cheaper notch or ghia (must be solid) , or sale minus the engine etc.
NOW SOLD

wish i had seen this add before...where did it go? stayed in UK?

[dth]

Hi mate , was up for a while , it went fairly local to me , not sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing,
hate seeing my old cars running around , but as a plus it is coming back to my shop for service etc,
so still get to drive it

[Andrew]

May I say, the car is a credit to Donald's skills?

The new engine hasn't missed beat in over 1,000 miles!

Just hope I can be a worthy custodian.
