Here is the new baby girl in my life...LOL

Well, here she is.... 100_2106

Very happy with it. Got it for 2400! dual port heads with dual Weber 34ICT carbs.. I changed the oil and adjusted the timing and carbs and got it running really sweet! Doing that I pop'd off the distributor cap and there sat pertronix pointless system! SWEET.. bonus.

Very quite drive and awesome handling even at stock height..."doctor, we need dropped spindles .... STAT"... give me a few weeks, she will be dumped.

Paint is in fair to good shape.. pan is perfect.. interior is all there, needs some updating.

So, I am back! Feels good to.

There the pics finally loaded. Looks sweet! That was the local car, correct? Did you have to drive up north? Once again congratulations on the score.

That is a NICE looking bug! Congratulations. Love the Pimp steering wheel! tongue

Nice bug! Happy you got it!

Subject: Re: Well, here she is.... Sun Feb 13, 2011 11:56 pm

If that bug has disc breaks including everything else you said. I would say you stole it. Evil or Very Mad

That my friend is a crime and i am going to have to report you to the authorities. lol!

Subject: Re: Well, here she is.... Mon Feb 14, 2011 12:16 am

This one was the local car. The guy in Red Bluff pulled some crap on me last night trying to get me to pay more, so told him forget it.

No disc brakes on this one.. But as you can see it looks good from the go..

It has one piece windows (something I always like).. the pertronix pointless system, dual weber 34ICT's, shaved door handles (Which scares me..LOL), decent interior (for a change), shaved gas door, Monza exhaust, 1600dp, pop out rear windows, new tires, retrofitted older bumpers and taillights...

So I feel for the money, it was well worth it... it is a jump in and drive car! YEAH!.

So next pay period I will get some drop spindles and lower her down some. Then over the summer will do the narrowed beam and aftermarket rims and such... but can start cruising NOW.

In fact, going to drive her to work this week... very excited.

thanks for everyone keeping there eyes out for me! It helped... Dave Cope, thanks for bringing up this car Friday! I would have never seen it over in that area.

I am STOKED!!!!! Pete and Shawna came up and saw it today.. he liked it also.

Looks really clean. Interior is sweet.

Subject: Re: Well, here she is.... Mon Feb 14, 2011 1:19 am

Total score! cheers

She is awesome! Can't wait to see her.

Subject: way to go Mon Feb 14, 2011 8:19 pm

Now you are an honest man. At 90 I thought it looked pretty good. One hell of a bend in the road for that speed.

Now who is next. If David buys speedies super almost everyone is a happy camper.

Subject: Re: Well, here she is.... Mon Feb 14, 2011 9:20 pm

Hey....that yellow isn't as nearly as bad as you guys made it sound at Big A. I actually kinda like it...its different.

That is one sweet looking bug.

Next time you're by the fairgrounds, swing by my shop and I'll sticker her up.

Happy for you.

Subject: What about Mon Feb 14, 2011 9:24 pm

The swap meet is coming up you may find the spindles or a front end with disks and drop spindles.

David

Subject: Re: Well, here she is.... Mon Feb 14, 2011 9:58 pm

I am hoping to score some spindles at the swap as well. Maybe we can get a package deal.

Subject: Re: Well, here she is.... Mon Feb 14, 2011 10:05 pm

"shaved door handles"

really?...I've never seen that before. How does that work?

Subject: Re: Well, here she is.... Mon Feb 14, 2011 10:48 pm

there is a solenoid where the handle use to go inside the door. There is a "secret" button you push to open the door. It's kind of cool...old school hot rod stuff, but I always worry if my battery dies, I am screwed!

@Matt... yeah.. might happen. Just remember that CIP1 has them for 89.00 bucks right now brand new! so don't pay much more for used.

Subject: Re: Well, here she is.... Tue Feb 15, 2011 12:41 am

WOW!!!

What a nice looking ride there Brad. What a score. I hope to see it soon.

Subject: shaved door Tue Feb 15, 2011 11:18 am

I have a shaved door handle. What a pain in the butttttttttt. It is a clean look.

Subject: Re: Well, here she is.... Tue Feb 15, 2011 12:54 pm

Oh yeah, did I forget to mention: It has working heaters! Damn, had to open the window a bit on the way into work this morning.

So nice!.. Like sitting in front of a fire with a cafe' lopez and a snuggie wrapped around me...LOL lol!

So far so good.. engine still seems tight.. I can tell I still need to adjust the carbs just a hair.. but I will do that when the weather is good again.

Subject: its a little strange Tue Feb 15, 2011 1:33 pm

That car has been for sale for 6 months to a year. Time flies so it is hard to tell. It is a good indication on the local economy. I am glad it is working out for you. Is it a 67?

Subject: Re: Well, here she is.... Tue Feb 15, 2011 6:49 pm

Heat sure is nice. I'm gonna guess that it's a 1970?

Subject: Re: Well, here she is.... Tue Feb 15, 2011 7:16 pm

It is a 68! last year for swing axle.

They put the older bumpers on it and the older tail lights.

Subject: 8 spokes Tue Feb 15, 2011 7:45 pm

Thats a 4 lug right?

I have some 8 spokes
