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

WARM AIR???? We don't need no more stinkin' warm air!!!!!

sweet find!!!

Totally cool.
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....

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.

you do up in this ice box

What are your plans? Stock? Cal-look? Volksrod? Narrowed and Slammed?

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. 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.

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
