Here it is. As I posted in the events forum, I'm tossing around the idea of planning a big socal vintage euro car show, a counterpart to the booming Japanese Classic Car Show (www.japaneseclassiccarshow.com). This is what I'd be bringing...

'67 Volvo 1800S
Original CA black plate car
Fresh B20 (originally had a B18)
Dual SU carbs
Fuel injection ("D") cam
Unleaded conversion
10:1 compression
Ipd finned alloy valve cover
K&N filters, 4 speed + OD trans
Ipd sway bars
Poly bushings
KYB gas shocks
Braided stainless brake lines
Lockheed brake booster
Ipd front spoiler
16x8 Torq Thrust II's
Grant steering wheel
Miata seats
Cibie H4 headlights (90/100w) on relays
and probably lots of things I'm forgetting...

Next to a friend's gray-market M5, on the Crest:

There was a green one at the track at the last event at Buttonwillow.
One of my favorite all time cars.

It would be open to anything 80's and earlier (I'm not sure what cutoff year to use, maybe 85). Of course all air-cooled dubs would qualify and be encouraged to attend!

I would have to nurse it to where ever the GTG would be, its more of a cruiser for the streets then highway, 135/15's in the front, and gears make for not so much freeway fun!
