The new owner, Mike really loves the car. He is just taking it to another look that he likes. I have spoke to him and he drives the car daily and his family loves the car too.
God willing when and if my life settles down and if I am ever able to I will build Copper Jewel II that is even better than the Copper Jewel I. I know the folks that can make it happen.
I wanted to build the concept I saw in Hot VW's a few years ago. It was flat(satin) black with no chrome. It had the lowered front end, big engine, nice interior. There was a Union 76 decal on the doors with checkerboard graphics running down the sides. It looked so tough. I wanted to use between a 63-67 for the project. But now I think I want to bring back an Old Skool looking Copper Jewel.
