Well I'm new to these forums, even though I come to this site quite a bit.
This is my 66 Bug in it's un-restored glory. I actually found it here.
And 63 ragtop with 4700 original miles.

Nice bugs. Looks like you have a nice SB Chevy for parts hauling too! Any plans?

| The Chevy isn't actually mine. I do have an 02 GMC for hauling though. |

Welcome!
Hey, Mr. New,,, I'll take the red one without the tape. 
Ohh, you didn't know? You can't have two OG bugs on this forum, so I'll take one. J/K, seriously.

Those are some impressive cars. I can't believe how well that 66 has held up, and a 63 with 4700 original miles? Wow!  That sort of mileage on any car of that vintage is impressive, let alone a Beetle.
When I bought my 63, I was just happy it didn't go into the 6 digit range.  |

Yeah not having the undercoat was lucky on the 63. The 66 has it though, but I don't mind its what actually saved the floor pans. I'll take undercoating over having to replace floors anyday  |
