no way, im keeping it all vw power it has no rust ! i scored
Looks like a nice one, Scooter! What year is it??? Kind of been watching for one myself, but about all I've come up with so far is rust buckets... Congrats on a great find!!!!!!!
its a 66 still has the slopey head lights, been converted to 12 volt, and has no rust except a spot the size of a quarter in the back. needs a few bits and things, little wiring, some minor bodyw ork nothing big.
Muy wife is green with envy right now as she saw the pic, she alway has wanted a old bug, what did you get it for.
1500 , from what ive heard seen and read it was a smoking deal. need a bit but nothing big. rr fender needs to be kocked out a bit looks like maybe the owner before this one had backed out a garage and skimmed it. all the glass is perfect new windsheild new rear brakes. but the brakes are on the fritz i hit the pedal puddle of fluid underneath the lr wheel i figure its a wheel cylinder or a leaky bleeder valve! nothing big. just mostly fine tuning. pumped it twice hit the key fired right up heater still works and warm air to! factory no radio:o
WARM AIR???? We don't need no more stinkin' warm air!!!!!:LOL:
sweet find!!!

Always liked those, missed out on a couple of good ones in times past.
Although . . . there's one down the street, same color as yours and every time I see it, it seems to be running worse.
Maybe....:3dSMILE:

Anyhoo, look for a place called Claude's Buggies in Exeter, California.
Lots of Dub stuff and prices to build a serious engine or just a good runner are quite low.
Specially to anyone who's built nothing but V8's.
I have a few of Claude's little items in my 32 roadster.

Nice find! I had one years ago, mine was a 1960. I loved it, but it was totaled in an accident. I didn't know how well those things could roll.:LOL::LOL: I can tell from the pictures that you got a really nice one, hell yours even has a gas guage!! Mine didn't, just a little metal rod on the inside firewall that you turned to turn on the reserve tank.
From time to time I have thought of doing what you have done, but I think I going to hold out for a Karmann Ghia convertible. Place near me has a least 4 of them for sale and a half dozen beetles. Just got to get a good price.:D
hey right on, yeah the pre gas gauge era would of been a pain :lol: i was planning on a so cal style with a hopped up motor out back.
dark charcoal mettalic with grey/black interior and a set of empi wheels no roof rack tho
