Looks nice
Can't say I like the interior, but that can be easily fixed....The headliner mostly _________________ 1968 Squareback

Way cool
Love the headliner and it looks like it even had some of the fuzzy ball trim around the windows. I would redo it. Maybe even put some on the front window.
It has a funky style not seen often anymore
BTW Is the headliner cloth? _________________ 84 Westy

She looks brand new!
Very very nice car. Not too sure about the headliner, but that's your choice. |

That's a radical looking headliner! Keep it the way it is, you'll be the only one on the block (or the in the state, for that matter) who has one of those. Great looking car. |

Thanks everyone we looked for awhile for one, she's always wanted the older beetle, and so i thought this one would be a good deal. The previous owner was an artist, it's cloth that she tye dyed. I'm not a big fan of it either , but it's not my car, its hers and she likes it, so it shall stay that way. Its got a few chrome pieces that are missing and dinged up i need to get and weatherstripping for the windows. |

Tie Dye!!! What are all you people dissing it for? That is absolutely the correct custom style for the time when that Super was made! It screams 1970's! All that's missing is the smell of weed and patchouli! |
