DSC00050_blogWe “snapped” the 1969 Karmann Ghia from a very nice Gentleman, including the “transaction” picture… Ghia’s getting difficult, but this is a pretty good car, very well build, and nice driving… in case of interest or for all further information You can always contact me on Bob@BBT4Vw.com this baby will be in Belgium by end of June, more then likely…

DSC00054_blogok, one more picture from our new acquisition…. Nice car huh? I like it, I like the stance, I like the look, its a decent paint, and the hubcaps are my absolute favorite part of the whole car! Handpainted, nice!

DSC00063_blog I do have access however to the DDS bus, a 1965 panel van, that’s been made with authorization of Dean Lowry… its a cool bus, needs finishing and maybe some repair, cab floor need welding, but all in all absolutely not bad… in case of any interest, just email me on Bob@BBT4VW.com

DSC00070_blog and finally a nice impression of the always nice DKP line up, these are all extreme fast VW’s… the last one in this line up, the yellow one, is my friends Rick car….
