When I was a teenager, this is what got me into Cal Look VWs.
Since then, my preferences have evolved... but I still appreciate the '70s look that started it for me. Also, if Hot Wheels™ was ever commissioned to do a Cal Look '67, my vote goes to Art Gutierrez's metallic dark green car. It simply fits the bill.

Ah, february 1981 HotVWs issue!
Been reading that one for 3 nights in a row now. Love those features, too bad the cover cars are not to be found in the magazine itself.

The good use of an aged paint  (though chrome parts are a bit too shinny)  |

WOW!!! That's my car!!! Everything on this car is original except the headlight rings and BRMs. Hecker gave me an original pair of '67 SB12 Hella rings I will be swapping on this week. I have a huge dilemma with this patina. I love shiney bugs, but this patina is only there once- and it the car was born the same week as me. Currently I plan on getting another one to be shiny and leave this car alone.

But there are SOOOOO many other '67s out here- CHEAP!!! I have had "project" cars since I was 12 years old- LOTS of them (all of them worked on but never finished and driven) and now I'm 43. Just got divorced and LOVING driving this car everyday! I can't imagine tearing it apart for a year (or 10 or 20!) and then it being "too nice" to enjoy. My dad has 35 restored cars and hot rods. Some of them are amazingly restored show cars, but I enjoy the ones with old paint so much more becasue your not afrair for that tiny scratch- or will that truck toss a pebble that will damage the paint. Yes, I do want a really nice bug, but after having "bug lust" most of my life I really think I will leave this one exactly the way it is and enjoy it! I'm a magazine guy- written for them for the last 10 years, and I KNOW I don't want to end up with a project like Dean's if I don't at least have one I can enjoy! |

Keep it like this, find aged german headlight rings and original wheels, and it will be perfect.

nice one Agreed, that is beautiful. Along with Diederick's Java green '67, it's really proven that blacked out trim works. |

Here are a few shots of my '67 circa '77/'78  Original color matched Empi 5 Spokes!  Gotta love the velour! Note the DDS shifter and well worn Grant steering wheel  Pencil coiled wiring! Hot Stuff!!! I really loved this car but unfortunately coming home from a club party in San Diego it met it's demise. However it go a new life and was resurrected by a fellow lounge member as a Class 11 offroad car. -jeffrey |
