I just got done watching Friday the 13 part 2 and was wondering what happened to the star of the movie...no not Jason but the red 71, 72 super beetle convertible..where is it today....then that got me wondering what happened to other "movie Stars VWS" How about the yellow Micro bus from Fast Times at ridgemont high...im sure theres a ton more but cant remember them all..other than all the Herbies. Most may be gone forever but do any of you guys know of any that still are around?

on a side note....not a movie star but a famous vw was Ted Bundy, the killers Red VW beetle that he would lure women in then kill them...i know that this car still exist and is owned by Johnathan Davis of Korn....ok guys your turn....

The squareback from Witness is owned by a guy in Jersey. I saw it a few years ago in Hershey at the Type 3 Invasion.
