My Garage Is A Speedster Vacuum

Ivy, the "Ivory Imposter" left for her new home in Reno on Wednesday and this pretty little thing showed up today. She can stay for a little while, but will need to move on very soon.

Very Nice! Like the color.

Very nice, what are the details on this one?

Sharp car Troy. Bali Blue?

I absolutely LOVE that color! Nice car, Troy.

Blue top is unique. Another beauty!

What bait do you use, I need to get some of that stuff.

what are the laws like in Cali? up here - you'd need a dealer license if you were turning that many (wicked) cars around.

Yelp!! a high bow top. nice car!

Instead of the usual widebody, that photo looks distorted to be a more narrow than normal, bodied car. Similar in color to your widebody keeper, isn't it Troy?

Arthur is correct. The picture is or was distorted, but it may be fixed now. Here is a corrected version below.



Bob.
The top looks blue in the picture, but it is actually black.

Hoss.
It is exactly the same color as my widebody. Vintage calls it Cobalt Blue, but it isn't the same as any Cobalt Blue I have ever seen. I call it midnight Blue, but it is not quite as dark as Will's Midnight Blue IM. Kirk, gave me the color code, but he doesn't know what car it originally came on.

Mango.
You are allowed to sell 5 cars/year in Calif. without becoming a dealer. If I sell this one and the Yellow Cab before the end of the year that will be 5 for this year.

what was the color code?

The code is PPG - Dcc 13268. I have googled that number and could not find out anything about it.

By the way, the first picture is no longer distorted.

Troy, that's a beautiful car. Please do continue researching the color code.

Troy, I will stop ay my body shop guy and get him to run the number today

Color is cobalt blue, PPG #13268, paint code L630, as offered on 65-66 VW busses.

I just had my body guy look it up, the DCC133268 an old Centari enamel mix number also "Cobalt Blue". It also matches a 1978 Europian Opel blue paint code.

I watched the Ivory Imposter video. It seemed to move pretty well for a 1776. Was that a typical ~75-80hp motor or was it internally built up. I'm intrigued still about how a VS 1915 from the mexi-crate will move. This car looks great bot I love the squished look of the low-bows.

The Ivory Imposter 1776 was not built-up in any way. It was the standard Vintage installed 1776.

The wide angle of the video made it appear to be going quicker than it really was. I was surprised at how quick it was and it would have no problem keeping up with the big boys on any run.

As far as low bow and high bow tops, as far as I know, Vintage only sells one style and that is what all Vintage Speedsters have.

Hi Troy, I am new to the board as I just purchased a speedy also here in Reno. The buy of the Ivory Imposter does the dry cleaning for our office. It is a really nice car and it made it to a great new home.

WOW!

Troy's growing a West Coast Network!

Welcome to the madness, Steve, from one of the guys on the East Coast!

Hi Stephen. Welcome to the madness! Yes, Brian's Ivory Imposter is a VERY nice car and he was VERY VERY excited to get it. He had the transport truck at my door in just a few days after buying it and waited up into the late evening for the driver to deliver it.

I told him about our Speedster Owners site and hopefully he will join, but I haven't seen him pop up on here yet.

What car did you buy? Post some pictures we would all love to see it.

I purchased the one in Fullerton. I drove mine back to Reno I told Brian he should have done the same. So much fun....

Here is another shot.

Very nice! Congratulations.

Thank you. looking forward to this board for help and events.

awesome colour......
