An Epic Adventure is Coming in 42 Days!

It‟s almost unthinkable that there will be more than 100 T34s

lined-up together! I remember working so hard in 2003 to

convince 28 T34s to show-up at the VW Classic (the USA

record). To imagine four times that many T34s is just

unbelievable. If you‟ll be at the T34 50 th Anniversary

celebration in GMH Germany this August then we can be in-awe

together. How do you capture the details of 100 T34s in one

weekend??? It‟s going to need a team approach. Who‟s going?

Jim Maljanian, Tom/Terri Reay, & I will be coming over from

the USA and driving T34s. Jim‟s driving Lars Neuffer‟s 1968, the

Reay‟s are driving Kris De Bruyne‟s Cherry Red 1968, and I‟ll be

driving Jorg Fischer‟s Anthracite 1963 with Dag Henriksen from

Norway as passenger. I know there are T34 groups from UK,

Belgium, Switzerland, & Italy driving too! Being able to drive a

T34 through the country roads, past the villages & towns, with

T34s in front of us & in our rear view mirrors … it will be epic.

Heck, I may just stay in Germany so I won‟t miss a single T34.

I continue to be impressed with the high-level of worldwide

communication between T34 owners! The owner‟s stories, new

purchases, restoration advice, parts-sharing, and events fun that

is being shared is incredible! The magazine articles (both custom

& stock) are more than ever. The articles coming into T34

World News is awesome, so much that I‟m forced to delay

some to a later edition! Keep up the emails & photos!

This Spring I‟ve been very busy with T34 World Consignments

clients. I have placed three T34s with new owners in the past

two months. An original-owner 1965 Electric Sunroof relocated

from New Mexico to Florida and I hope to have the full story in

the next edition. An original-owner 1967 Coupe relocated from

Georgia to Michigan into a solid T3 family collection. And a

daily-driver 1963 Coupe is relocating from Northern California

to Pennsylvania later this month. If you are interested in selling

your T34 or buying one, check out the T34 World

Consignments web site for all the details. I typically have

between 25-30 T34s to choose from in all conditions & price-

levels. www.T34WorldConsignments.org

T34 50 th Update: New Information

Only six weeks to go and we all meet for the BIG 50 th

Anniversary event in Georgsmarienhütte/Germany on August

11-14 2011! Our actual registration status is 104 T34s, 120 T14s,

& 1 TC! Amazing … over 100 T34s in one event!

Still Being Processed:

We are trying to convince VW Classics to bring both TCs.

Good News:

We are trying to organize an in-scale model display with

Karmann Ghia models and rare parts.

VW Classics (the official division inside Volkswagen dealing

with its classic cars) is supporting the event and will drive

their T34 convertible prototype!

The promotion for the meeting is still active with all our

club members handing out flyers wherever they go. Last

weekend we promoted the event at the VW Uralt Treffen

in Bad Camberg, the VW Typ3 Treffen in Wolfsburg, and

the Karmann Ghia Club Kassel meeting. This photo shows

one of the six surviving T34 Cabriolets at Bad Camberg.

The VW-Osnabruck Museum tours are planned for Friday.

We are working to get a shuttle service for the participants

of the meeting. VW will organize a Karmann Ghia corner

with the T34 & T14 prototype cars on display together!

Events: VW Classic USA

The largest gathering of vintage VWs on the West Coast of the

USA is at the VW Classic in Southern California each June.

Bob Walton‟s Pacific Blue & White 1964 Coupe with roof rack,

Jack Fisher‟s Manila Yellow & Brown 1964 Coupe towing a

BBQ trailer via the new T34 tow hitch, Kevin Enos‟ custom

Pearl White & Black 1964 Coupe, Rodger Marcks‟ restored

Cherry Red & Black 1967 Coupe, & Paul Kramer‟s Castillian

Yellow 45K-mile 1967 Coupe. Tim Miller & his family were

there from Arizona, Scott Taylor, & Jim Maljanian.

Class Awards: 1 st Rodger‟s 1967, 2 nd Walton‟s 1964, & 3 rd

Fisher‟s 1964. Unfortunately Kevin Enos‟ outstanding custom

1964 was snubbed because it was forced into the custom side

but registered as a Stock so it was lost in the voting.
