Took a road trip up to the Kootenays last month and saw these dead cars.
Were these photos from the organic mechanic's place ????
-
Don't know who that is.
-
those cars may be from the dreadlock'd owner of "chimera rock works", he's doing all the rock scaling here on the hwy north of summerland.
if they are his, and i know he's from the east kooteneys, he'll want a fortune for them. my 2 cents
-
those cars .......
I've posted pics of cars from 5 different locations. Which cars do you think this guy owns?
-
all my hot rod buddies have been to his place.they don't even glance at bugs, but they all say not one of his cars (american ones) are restorable. all are rusted out smashed up and cut up. that, and him and his wife live in a shack and lets just say they "live close to nature". thats all i've been told, sorry i can't be more of a help :(

I was in Nelson a couple years ago and needed a clutch cable for a Fox. Ended up at the organic mechanic. He's up the Slocan valley a little bit and then off the beaten track a bit more. He had quite an array of old VW's there. Water and air cooled. If I remember he even had a couple of those rare and sought after VW Dashers.

Bruce,
Sir, I think that color of the block off plate is Ruby Red.
Have a look at the color charts on www.wolfsburgwest.com
Thanks,
Shawn ;D
Don`t give me bad karma for this...!

looks too dark to be ruby red. and those ww colour charts are pretty poor quality, imho. ;)

Can't be Ruby Red. The car was a 59, and that year only Garnet Red was offered.
I smite thee!
-
Yes it's true it is the best color vw offered, Garnet red! ;D
-
Hey Geoff... Dont you have a garnet red car????
-
I know I am resurrecting an old post. But now with people out and about travelling around the province. I thought it would be cool to get some pics of some old VW's returning to mother earth.
-
found this one while hunting up north.
-
found these ones up by PG. There was a sasquatch roaming in the area as well, as you can see in the pic.
Sorry, that was my nephew.
Gordo!
