1959 cal look survivor karman Ghia

[@ArthurSperotto]

I'm excited for future episodes on this!

[@volkstroke]

Yes sir we on it

[@volkstroke]

Already working on the update

[@stuck1000]

Damn, I missed this video. I can't believe it. Your 1641 dyno vid brought me here. Nice score.

[@jorgelynch1371]

As long as the front end is in good shape... it's a bonus! BTW the OG color with a black roof will look sick!

[@vayabroder729]

Ghias suffer from frequent nose damage as compared to all other cars; not sure why.

[@warrenmink2429]

What a killer find man , I’m already in love with it ! Beautiful car ! I’m jealn now dude , nice 👍

[@vdubjunkie]

Wow. I'm anxious to see how much bondo you find. A lowlight just hanging around like that. Crazy!

[@rickstine7107]

A low budget low light, awesome 💪🤜👏👏👏👏

[@volkstroke]

Yes indeed!

[@volkstroke]

We will try

[@hughrobinson9978]

Can't wait to see what you do with this - I'm sure it will be awesome!

[@rusttykafer4849]

Good score buddy!! Nice!!!

[@BriceP.O.I.]

You rolled me on that comment "we're not math surgeons", classic! Keep it up bro, you're the best out there.

Great find David! 🎉

Ohhhhh nice

[@warrenmink2429]

@@volkstroke can’t wait to see this old car come back alive !!! Beautiful old car man , don’t get to see these low light cars much here

[@Mikefngarage]

That is really cool. Just put a nice motor in there and give it some paint and it will be really cool. A beat and Bondo clean up at least. just make the panels that are bad and patch it up and paint it.

[@volkstroke]

That's the plan!

[@gustavopadilla9176]

Man l have a bug but ghias are my favorite, looking forward to your magic

[@richardwhite8065]

Nice project looks like fun

[@volkstroke]

Very!

[@richardwhite8065]

Nice , looks like fun 👍🏻

[@petemart-69x]

Welcome to Ghia world! Remember everything is 2x the price of Beetle prices! 🤘. Get some Koni adjustable reds on it as they are heavier and need the stiffer shocks

[@volkstroke]

I already got a stack for it and it’s going to be fun oh and shocks I got some gas adjust

[@Milkshake_dub]

That thing is sweet David. Would love a clean Ghia like that one. Gonna be sick once the Volkstroke gang builds it 🔥😎🔥

[@volkstroke]

We will do a special form of oldscool performance

[@Milkshake_dub]

@@volkstroke perfect

[@gr2262]

Definitely fell into the right hands

[@volkstroke]

We will try to make it cool

[@ocavant]

Hot tip removing spiderwebs with a propane torch. It just vaporizes them.

[@vayabroder729]

Lowlight 🥰 A shame they eliminated the lower moldings and the window weatherstrip trim. The cars look so finished with those.

[@AnakNi_Mina]

That was the 80’s , dechrome or blackout the ese chrome.

[@witcher71]

Lots of room for a turbo! Hopefully you can keep the Sunshine state license plates registered to the car.

[@volkstroke]

That's the plan!

[@volkstroke]

Minus the turbo 😆

[@witcher71]

@@volkstroke Where's the fun in that? lol

[@volkstroke]

@@witcher71 I don’t like turbo motors it’s not my thing I like aspirated carburetor motors lol 😆 slow but snappy

[@witcher71]

@@volkstroke I can dig it. I like turbo because it makes a small engine think it's big and a big engine even bigger.

[@Mikefngarage]

its got a full case tranny in there. so maybe they updated the gears at least to 412.

[@67_squared]

I love my 67, but would trade it for a low-light like that easily!!! 😅

[@codyreep1480]

Hell ya cant wait

[@noahcornatzer3776]

I could be dead wrong but the shifter looks like a DDS (Deano Dynosaur) or bugpack

[@volkstroke]

Thanks I’ll try to get it restored I know the right guy

[@bartman3608]

Use plastic bumper repair epoxy on your steering wheel. I restored my badly cracked wheel in my 56 oval with it. It fills and sands easily.

[@volkstroke]

Thanks for the tip! I will

[@smsjr36]

I dig your videos man. Are you going to replace that whole back rear left panel?

[@volkstroke]

Most likely

[@evilbeetlekustomscreations4965]

Damn a 59!!

[@volkstroke]

Yes sir

[@volkstroke]

This the one I wanted

[@evilbeetlekustomscreations4965]

I'm seeing Briggs & Stratton red nothing but Era correct speed performance parts, for the engine a one off modern SPG style roller crank have someone make up a set of fumio fukaya style angle Port heads , full roller rockers and Geneberg traction bar, Racestrim valve covers and oil sump, Joe hunt magneto ohh wee all the old school tricks to the new aluminum block and some CB heads😳😂✌️

[@volkstroke]

No roller cranks but definitely a touch of old school performance I’m a fan of the oldskool but also know better about the modern performance advantages of today’s innovations. But for the old school guys I have an engine for a empi gtv car coming soon that will mess with everyone’s heads it’s got rare everything on P11s and truehalf accessories too to bottom! Oh and also a dds parts berg and you will smile for sure

[@ocavant]

What we all want to know is purchase price? ;-)

[@volkstroke]

3800

[@ocavant]

@@volkstroke Reasonable in today's market. Well done.

[@DIY_Semi-Pro]

Daaaaaannng! Low some low-lights.

[@jeraldgoff6475]

You mentioned something about a 67 that was the year of my first car light blue purple tinted windows 1835 dual port to a single 40 that thing was awesome broke the transmission racing a Porsche had him the whole way until 4 th gear threw it back into third and blew it I was a dumb punk OC kid that didn't know what he has wish I never sold it and it Porches rims on it emoji's

Nice man gotta love them 67s too they are such a cool unique model

[@brilog69]

Low Light!!

[@volkstroke]

Yes sir it’s gonna be oldskool

[@598bowtie]

Dude! Put a 2180cc bullet!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@volkstroke]

Hmmm maybe we go more older in the oldskool

[@PatrickSchubert-ww7bn]

For drag race or for cruising ?

[@volkstroke]

Street car small motor

[@AnakNi_Mina]

Yup thats a dechromed Cal Look. That color was called “Magenta” in the 1980s.

[@volkstroke]

Yeah has some distinctive cal look attributes except for the motor

[@AnakNi_Mina]

SGV kids didn’t have as much disposable income as Orange County kids so the Cal Look treatments fell short of the mark. Thats also why the L.A. kids that had even less money would just slam their stockers on Alloys and call it a day.

[@volkstroke]

@@AnakNi_Mina yeah I see that I also see they had 1966 wheels on it as well like even Fuchs were out the budget

[@AnakNi_Mina]

@@volkstroke SGV Vdubbers with the decent feria they had put together some nice cars. I wouldn’t doubt they would have put together even nicer cars had they been Transas and Rateros like a lot of L.A. Vdubbers. LOL

That's a really car is that original paint

[@vayabroder729]

Doesn’t look like it; he says original is like a copper color.

[@AnakNi_Mina]

It looks like 80s era “Magenta”. A very popular color back then. Or maybe just a red that faded.

[@ocavant]

Lol your body guy is stuck in 1960. You can use chemical stripper. You just have to know how to work with it. The one thing you don’t wanna do is sandblast it no matter what anyone says, blasting is stretching the metal and that ain’t good. By the way, that shitty looking formula France steering wheel is actually worth money. Lol I have no idea why but people want them now.

[@volkstroke]

Thanks for the information

[@volkstroke]

I sure like to learn as I go

[@Milkshake_dub]

You are right on point about the sandblasting...that is definitely a no, no... Especially on this car. 🔥🔥🔥
