I was just thinking of all the Air cooled VWs that I had. I started with my first car a 1958 VW Bug that I bought in 1968. $75. And a real piece of shit but my first car.
I went on to having more new VW Bugs and Campers in my life and got started with VW –Porsche 914 in 1978. Always loved the VW air cooled product and also enjoyed a new Rabbit Pick Up in 1981 Bob B |

1968 Baja Bug was my first car. 1776cc screaming motor. Fun.
1965 Beetle 1967 Squareback 1965 23 window bus (wish I still had it) 1968 Ghia So, yeah I guess you could say I had one. Looking for the right bug to add back into the garage. But I'm out of space so it's going to have to be just the right one to make it work. |
