dave i would like to know more about your car she's awesome  here's some few one there's on the car : the engine has a Pepco on it. It is a 1600, with Chong ported single port heads, a VZ 14 cam and an early Berg crank. 010, Carter sidedraft from a 1965 Turbo Corvair, Cylcone 4 in 1 header with cast ends, a matching glass pack and a built gear box. The Americans, a period correct Sun Tach and now an NOS early Hurst Indy shifter are the other additions to the car i want more pictures buddy , i falling in love  of your car  here's some picture , and the one you asked me yesterday in the super vw mag n°208/DEC 06 p.63  rgd fabs |

I don't mean to butt in here.... , but Dave's car has got to be one of the sweetest rides around. I've driven it a little bit and the car is so much fun. I can't describe the awesome noise that little huffer makes back there, but it is unlike any other Bug out there. Probably the coolest car around in my opinion.....I have a soft spot for "pre cal look" Jim |

Thanks to all for the kind words. Fabian, I promise I will take and post some photos for you. It is the least I can do for all your help. Thanks for posting those pics of Jim's (Moore) Notch. Great car, no? It was a real inspiration for me while I built mine. So was Danny Gabbard's car, real clean, looked just right.........and Darrell Baker's Squareback. We were learning and building our T3's at the same time back in the 80's. I can't recall from a past topic, anyone know where any of these cars went?
I'll answer any questions I can about the car. It's had an interesting past..........and should have a good future, too. Just need time to work on it, that's all. There's several cars to build before I can do much about that one, and it's a runner right now. Super low maintenance, fun to drive and dependable.
By the way, and maybe this should be in the shifter post, but I pulled the Hurst and put the stock shifter back in it. I like the feel of it better in this car...........and it's never missed a shift.
Again, please give me a little more time and I'll shoot some more and post them.

Good to see you here as well! As I mentioned, you have quite the following in the lounge, and rightfully so, for a number of well built cars. Let me know when you are settled. We can talk about projects then.
All the best to you, and see you soon.

Those are M&H DOTs on the back! Probably a 165 up front?

Very very nice car. Now lower that front!!! One thing puzzles me though... It's the fuel going UP the intake pipe on its way to the supercharger. No problems with that? |

Yes, Zach, the rears are M&H's and the fronts are are pair of XZX 165's.
Yves, You'd be right to question the intake, but it works really well. Starts up and runs fine.
For a 1600 single port, it runs hard and has been down the 1/8th in 10.01, without pushing it too hard.
I know what you mean about the front end, but for the era this car represents, it doesn't seem right to that.

I dig cars with the color matching fender beading. I gotta find me some Zenith Blue stuff. A few years ago, I used to see it available. Now; not-so-much.
