That's Funny, I was in Volkomen Strasse in 86 87, I had a slammed 66 Fastback, and a 64 Beetle with club logo painted on the back window, my buddy John was in too...

I cannot overstate how much I love the look of Mark's car. That is clean and pure Cal Look right there, my dream car.

Nice car.

[@user-we5cp5zl8z]

Just read about this awesome bug in this month's Volksworld mag.

[@stephenport4768]

Love those BRM's and the decklid I'm going to have to add that I do love the OC Cal look and the Aronson look I would love to do a UK RHD version as true to the strict specs that the DKP set

[@Gearheadpobre_91]

Esse tá um puro Cal-look. Não vejo a hora de montar o meu, seguindo este mesmo estilo.

[@christianassuncaosabino1750]

Sensacional 😎👍✌

[@stanfordkoch1271]

Cool car

[@kevinruger8819]

Crazy how these engines can make 200hp with minimal electronics and no fuel injection, but we have 90’s era Hondas just barely making over 200hp with Tunable ECU and Variable Valve Timing 😂

[@iddybiddyladybugleeza262]

What I don’t get is Tesla’s don’t have a front license plate

[@jamesonpace726]

Had no idea....

[@johncollins5552]

Twin noisepack exhaust, I believe a 4 into 2 into 1 is more efficient.

[@vikos78]

Did I get it right? He traded a MB AMG + some VW stuff for a set of original BRMs magnesium? How much are these worth?

[@Hugo_Rocker]

VW Freak!!
