Not only did we have a good time at Mr. Bubblehead's BBQ, not only did he give out dash plaques and feed all of us... but a special Type 3 showed up:
Ben's Speedster:
the 912 motor in the Speedster:
but up front, the VIN gives it away:
title to the Speedster matches the VIN; it is a '70 Fastback...

That is what I should do with my '71, that has a good pan, but the body is rusted out.
BTW, that generator is off 90 degrees. That makes it like the T-3, and doesnt get proper cooling.

Here's what they looked like, just a small 2"x3" magnetic vinyl plaque:
Ironically, no one drove a bug. And no, there are none left, they are all gone...

I wish I had known the Bubblepalooza was going on last weekend. The wife has been wanting to do a road trip in the her new car. We wouldn't have been driving a VW, but it would have been nice to meet some of you people.
