3sche, great looking car! I've been MIA lately..... Mark your 67 is BadASS!!! Awesome choice on the finish. I'm about ready to send a set to Mr. Reed. Hey Fred Just sent you a text . Did you hear al & Diane retired ? Grace and tony , two of the employees , have now set up their own shop in Orange I believe . (. Can’t believe you still haven’t sold house and moved to orange …. ) |

Hey guys. I rolled through 88 pages of pure car porn. I have been away from the Cal Look scene since the 80's off doing Porsche, Ferrari and BMW but life is a full circle it seems. I am back with a 1969 KG and bitten by the bug again.
For those that remember the 70' 80's and early 90's in the SoCal craziness, here are 2 of the cars some of the guys from back then may remember. Good to see our movement is still alive and well 40 years later.

Welcome! I remember seeing Backdraft run a couple of times while out in the USA. Always loved the Ghia, too. Star of the JSC catalog!

The first pic above was VW Trends cover in '83/'84? I have a copy somewhere but yes, JSC did a lot of bikini car washes in their publications. And yeah, that's me at the right front wheel looking rather youthful.. LOL, bikini clad models will do that to a kid in his 20's...  |

Joe, I had my 57 oval painted by Pete Santini because of your car.... that Ghia was awesome, I remember it before that paint also back in the day cruising around. He painted the graphics on my pan, same colors as your stripes. Larry |

Love your oval!

Thought I'd add my '63 onto this thread. Just a warmer over 1600 with 40IDF's, but parts for a 2017 are waiting under the bench. [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ]
