Don Metz owned the brown car to the left of Mark's and he ran a 1600 with a 110, if I'm remembering right.

I believe that you're correct, Doug. Also... last I checked, Don still has the car. He lives near me, so I suppose I should go and find out.

and.... yes that is don metz' 68. still owns car. Wants to sell it too. Far right orange car was jimmy harris,also non dkp, friend of mike martinez, santa ana crowd,One of the first car with alloys .White truck w/ shell was my dads, can't remember how it got there too.1973 454..fast. Went in it or tried, to a dkp meeting at mike dumphies house, got caught racing and taken to jail...Still not much smarter...bill

[Rennsurfer]

WOW! I'm surprised... I thought Don would never part with the '68. Any idea how much he's asking? That car was built over thirty years ago... SUCH a great piece of Cal Look history.

I remember Debbie Becker as well. She brought her black sedan over to Brad's Upholstery to have the interior done. Brad did the seats in black vinyl with a white/gray/black plaid inserts with gray carpeting. She was nice!

[Roger Grago]

Debbie Becker, yep she was fine!  As I recall Keith Goss went out with her for a while?  Bill you'd know better than I would.  You should have been at Doug's Saturday!

All the best!
