It's crazy that no matter what mods are done to a pre-'68 bus it almost always looks cool.

Wished that I had kept my '67 bus ... sold it in the early '80s for $2,600. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Yeah we all have at least one that got away. I still miss my '64 sunroof beetle 30 years later. $2600 sounds like decent money for back then. What did you buy it for? $1000?

Paid $1,600. for it in 1975, but then I had the motor rebuilt and a few other upgrades. I only had it for 3 years, then sold it to purchase a '59 Ford 4x4 PU truck and an Alaskan hydraulic camper (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
My first car was a '64 rag-top sunroof bug that one of my brothers gave me in 1970. It came with a knocking #3 rod, so I got to rebuild the motor before I could really drive it anywhere (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

1964 was the first year that the Volkswagen bug had a steel sunroof, Goober.

Well, then it must have been a '63?, Goob ...
 It came from a non-title state (Alabama) where my brother was stationed in the Army. I thought we registered it here as a '64 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

I thought we registered it here as a '64 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) You might both be right. My dad owned a '68 German market beetle in the 1970's that he got from a relative who imported it while in the service. It looked exactly like a '67 US model, which we all know is totally different and unique to the one year. If your brother was in the Army and bought it from someone on the base it could have been a European car. |
