An Amazing T34 Driver’s Weekend!

I really can’t convey just how special this past weekend in Cayucos

was for me. It had been a long time since I’d really driven my

1962 for any long distance, so I was a bit worried that it might

have some issues. When I went to start it I discovered the fuel

pump was dead. After a couple phone calls my good friends Jack

Fisher & Pedro Sainz sourced a rebuilt original to save the day.

Then I noticed the clutch was slipping a bit going up steep hills,

and another old friend Jason Weigel diagnosed the likely problem

as a leaky main seal getting oil on the clutch disk. But after a

good washing I packed the tool kit, blanket, and clothes and was

ready for a nice long driving weekend with the T34. The Central

California T34 50 th Anniversary weekend had six T34s (twenty

T3s total) and the driving experiences along the Pacific Ocean

coastline and into the rolling hills was simply fantastic! Cold

amber beers at the local pubs, amazing tri-tip steak dinner,

homemade T34 cookies, and all the owners just relaxing were all

memories that I’ll cherish of this 50 th Anniversary. I got sunburned

during the 7 hour drive each way, but it was worth it! I want to

extend a huge “thanks” to Tom & Terri Reay and Scott & Cathy

Taylor for the expertly organized events. Another big thanks to

Bob Walton who gave up driving his T34 and chose to bring his

new truck & tow bar to help stranded T34s along the way.

The special limited-edition metal T34 50 th Anniversary badges are

ready for delivery. Each one is stamped with individual numbers

on the back. It mounts with two screws into body or with 3M

adhesive tape on the back for a less permanent option.

When I bought the old California black & gold license plate and

fitted the original 1962 registration decal, I had always wanted to

find a metal plate to attach the current year registration decal.

Thanks to my old friend Scott Perry, he had an extra one that he

sent me (right photo). Now the 1962 T34 plate looks perfect …

The new T34 windshield group order now has 18 orders within

the USA and we should be receiving them by late-November. If

you need a windshield it’s not too late to get in on this order.

They cost $325 + shipping. Call me at 760 845 8447 or email

American T34 50 th in Cayucos

In late-September twenty T3 owners

converged at the village of Cayucos along the

Central California coastline for the American

celebration of the 50 th Anniversary of the Type

3. Cayucos is a five-block town that looks like

it could be in the 1960’s with single-story

businesses, old taverns, & quaint Bed &

Breakfast hotels. Organized by Tom & Terri

Reay (1965 & 1968 M345’s) & Scott & Cathy

Taylor (1962 T34), they planned a perfect

weekend of driving & socializing.

Thursday was the drive-in day with caravans

coming in from as far away as Northern

California, San Diego, and even Japan to see

some of the nicest T3s on the West Coast.

Friday began with an amazing 10am morning

cruise north along Highway One to Lucia, just

south of Big Sur. The expansive Pacific Ocean

on the west and eleven T3s driving in-line

along the winding coastline. Lunch stop at

Lucia with a breathtaking view of the ocean,

then the return trip back to Cayucos.

Saturday began with a 10am cruise into the

mountains overlooking the ocean with 20 T3

owners cruising together. Over the hilly

terrain, around tight corners, and through dark

forests of oak trees the cruise was even better

than the day before. The cruise stopped for a

few hours in Cambria at an all-German car

show. The brautwurst & sauerkraut was

perfect and the Octoberfest beer on-tap could

not have been better.

The six T34s were: Lee’s Ruby Red 1962

Cabrio, Bob Walton’s Pacific & White 1964,

Dave Whitaker’s Pacific & White 1964, Jack

Fisher’s Manila Yellow 1964, Tom Reay’s Sea

Blue 1965 M345, Larry Edson’s 1965 M345.
