I think some guy named Larry built it

. I believe the owners name is Joe. I can't wait to see more pictures of it.

Alp · « **Reply #6 on:** June 09, 2008, 02:58:16 PM »

how did it do in the competition?

Lanny · « **Reply #7 on:** June 09, 2008, 04:45:43 PM »

Thanks everybody! It took Best Of Show/Promoters Choice yesterday..we are definitely happy as The Classic is notoriously difficult for out of towners.
RK Smith from HotVWs shot the car on Wednesday/Thursday and I believe Shin Watanabe from Japan shot it yesterday. Stephan Szantai will shoot it at GCVWS this year. Joe and I driving it in to Nicks Friday night was fun to say the least..Bap Bap Bap..

thanks all,

I had an idea and Lanny along with Geoff, Barry, Gary and Darren made it happen.

We certainly made a statement in California.

Awsome job everyone involved, hats off to Joe who wanted only the best for his car, and the team who put it all together with the baddest parts out there.

Can't wait to see it.

Awesome car! Hats off to all involved! Congrats on the awards. But I have one question. What's with the speedo? It looks like it's stuck somewhere around 80mph.

vwshawn · « **Reply #16 on:** June 10, 2008, 06:02:37 PM »

What year is this car?
It looks like a 67 but not sure?
Thanks,
Shawn

pretty sure it's a 68. the bumpers and tail-lights are the most noticeable parts on a late car.

Lanny · « **Reply #19 on:** June 10, 2008, 08:56:20 PM »

Yep it started out as a 68 Semi Auto(hence the IRS). It may appear confusing as the dash looks more like a 67. The speedo is an electronic Auto Meter that hasn't been programmed yet. I have to find an open 2 mile stretch to set it up..

awsome car folks, just curious if anyone got any kinda sound from the car, or do we have to wait to hear it in person

Lanny, you should be able to calibrate it, using a hand held GPS unit.

Congratulations to Joe, and all his little worker bees, for a job well done.

WOW!!!! Nice work guy`s. If you want a GPS for your laptop Lemme know I can hook you up with a nice little unit thats very easy to use. It has a very small receiver/antenna thats would be easy to hide ( and the price is right too )

Lanny do you happen to know the history of that car? Reason I ask is my Aunt in North Van had a 68 green sunroof semi auto for 20 ++ years . I think she sold to a guy who drove bus Maybe 8 - 10 years back?

Lanny · « **Reply #28 on:** June 11, 2008, 08:03:33 PM »

The car came from Long Beach California 2 1/2 years ago. Out of the dozens of VW's I've built, this was the cleanest by far, not a speck of rust, nothing. 45,000 mile cream puff..

That we drove 2500kms (one way) to the show in!

Yep that beast Lanny built will be a tough one to top. Never heard it run, but imagine it would sound very different then any VW out there.
