In 1980 I could not sell this super dry Split for $1,200aud, end up selling her for
$1,000aud to a mate! Had some great fun in her, had some great trips and would
hate to think what she is worth now!

Here she is when I purchased her with 15s and og hubcaps, then when I sold her with wide 14s.

The actual day she drove away!

It was this VW that made me fall in love with the trusty 36hp..It now lives in France with it's new owner. Hope it's loved as much as it was when she was mine!

Yes the guy love this Baby and the look is much better today!!!

Thanks for the update and pic! Glad she has a great new owner, I LOVE those fuchs!!!! :D

My mostly OG 73 bug, 68k on it, had it 7 years. Sold it because I was 22, needed to go to grad school, had another vehicle too that was more reliable and had no money or time for it. Miss it every day.

Out of all my VDubs I regret selling these in the ealy 80's to the Japanese......What they paid me was the most money I ever saw as a teen, so it clouded my judgment.

Does the '54 RHD cabriolet that originally belonged to my great grandfather in Jamaica count? My great aunt sold it about 10 years ago because she didn't want to trouble me with a drive to Florida to come get it :(

I wish I knew what happened to it.

Ok here we go....
First regret: 1964 micro, one respray over OG grey and OG paint on top....Stupid and impatient and sold it because it had some drillrail rust on one side, about 3 feet of it....Knowing what i know now I could have fixed it....The flipper I sold it to cut it up..... :shock:

Second one: OG Iceland Green 55 Oval, sold it to a newbie, he got impatient and cut it up too....Jesus.
