Pics off Rick Mortensen's 67??

[rick m]

Hi everyone!  Anyone that wants shots of my 67 is welcome to email me. I have a bunch. I'll also be glad to answer any questions you have of it.  You can still view me doing a burnout on OCEAN STREET VIDEOs Burnout Downloads.  It is titled the nicest street bug ever! How funny.  I thought it was just a cool car and fun to screw around with V8 owners with.

Donny B and I had one of the most enjoyable times of our life in 1997 when we drove our cars from Arizona to Salt Lake City, joined Art Thraen and some others and drove to Auburn Hills, Michigan and back.  5200 mile round trip with a 2110 motor, Dean Lowry heads, Porsche Length/Porsche jounal H beam rods hung on my 82mm stroker crank. The PAUTER Cam was driveable but still a 13.90 car.  I built it to be a traditional Cal Looker like the cars we built in the 70's.  In fact, if you visit the Nostalgia portion of the Cal Look forum, there are pics I send to the webmaster from the early days of the Bug In and I posted a couple shots of my early white 67 with the traditional plaid interior too.

As for bra's,  forget ZAK's comments.  Mine stayed on my 67 for 5200 miles, with the exception of the shot stops and never rubbed the paint off.  If you buy crap you get crap results.  I paid for a top quality bra and the time and it was fine.  It was lined with a special backing and never hurt the paint. The cars paint job is 12 years old today and the GLAZURIT paint still looks good except for minor flaws. A friend locally bought the car and takes great care of it.

The first shot was in Wisconsin, at a dealership show. The second is my 2110 with IDAs. The third is my wife Anne driving the 67 somewhere in the midwest and I am riding with Art THraen in his 66 getting the picture. You may recognize the lady sitting in the passenger seat. It is none other than close friend Dee Berg, who was having too much fun with Anne in my car! The fourth shot shows my wicked traditional Cal Look stance...that I worked hard to get while building the car. The last shot is one of me at my own 1997 Spring Bug-O-Rama, the month before driving to Detroit, doing a burnout in my streetable 67.  It was the traditional 2nd gear smokem till they blow burnout!

Be sure and email me anytime if you want to chat VWs.

Welcome to the lounge Rick M. That is such a cool car. Donny B. just sent me the HVW issue with his and your cars in it. Stop in and chat some time. Lots of cool folks here who love Cal-lookers.

I don't seem to have it. For some reason I have VWT back to 94 but my HVWs only go back to 97.

If you really want one let me know.


Rick Mortensen just attached a burnout picture of his car to Donny B's thread!

cool! too bad the vid is not working on my mac.
but i've seen it before and i think there's a guy yelling, right?

i've had this pic on my pc for a long time, but i only just now recognised the similarities.
plus isn't there a pic of your old 67 featured on the intro page of cal-look.com?

your bra looks awesome too, where did you get it made?

Yes...my 67 is one of the cars that rotates on the CAL LOOK FORUM.  It has appeared in a couple shots in Keith Seume's books too.  He has a shot of my IDA motor, my front neal disc brakes and miscellaneous. Can't remember which book...since he has so many.
