1967 Cal Look bug with big motor

John Bates super helpful machinist out of Oregon shows us his personal pride and joy his 67VW its a street car that hits the track around 13 times a year
Gets his car built and dialed in house and runs consistently with ease good running 12 second VW that is solid vintage nostalgic and a beautiful example of what a real driver street strip 67 should be !!!!!

Not a daily driver,

[@volkstroke]

I wouldn't daily a beast with a $12k engine

[@tonygreen3528]

@@volkstroke so it’s a trailer queen, first sign of bad weather and it’s mollycoddled, cars are for enjoying and DRIVING.!!

[@volkstroke]

Trailer it to the track yeah why not it still drives on nice days and fast cars are easy to crash on wet roads

[@stealth67vw]

I never stated it to be a daily driver. I do drive the car all over town but 100% trailer the car to races as a large percentageof the races I attend are 3-4 hours away. I have broken enough stuff to learn from driving my car to races and being stranded. The video doesn't clearly show that this car is full of road wear that are badges of honor.
