History:

1998 Dokke bought this '67 with swedish origins. The car was in good, but used condition by then. The resoration took just over a year, with Dokke doing the floor pan and Volks Repairs doing the body. He took a lot of attention to detail during the reassembly. Since summer 1999 the Cal Looker is now on Europe's roads.
