Does it have to be a running car or a complete car?
Sorry... i've owned the same car for 31 years. I guess i'm just boring.

son and I, we've only had:
1- 356 (does that count?)
5- Beetle sedans
2-Beetle 'verts
2-Ghia coupes
1- Synchro
3- parts cars |

This old Geezer had three of my own that I drove. Fixed up about two dozen others for friiends but I guess they don't count. So there's my 66 Beetle, 71 Transporter, and my 74 Ghia coupe. I know...I'm a real lightweight. But hey...they ran great for longer than any ricer.

Actually, i still have them all, just highlighted the ghias as it was forum specific, i also didnt notice that this was a running VW list if that is the case then there would only be three permanently on it and another two, about every other time
