I have posted a few times randomly about a 61 type 1 I Used to own.
Hoping to find it or at least see what became of it. Is there a thread or discussion started where people can post a description, a timeline and location as well as VIN#?
I think it would be beneficial and fun for people . _________________ 1968 type 1 (green goblin) sun roof

I bought a 1970 VW in 1972. I went looking for it, found it in my garage this morning, drove it to senior softball.
Moral of the story: if you sell or have sold your old VW - you WILL regret it !!! _________________ 1970 VW (owned since 1972) and 1971 VW Convertible (owned since 1976), second owner of each. The '71 now has the 1835 engine, swapped from the '70. Second owner of each. 1988 Mazda B2200 truck, 1998 Frontier, 2014 Yukon, 2004 Frontier King Cab. All manual transmission except for the Yukon. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/album_page.php?pic_id=335294 http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/album_page.php?pic_id=335297 |

Cusser , direct and to the point as always. However my Goodman the question wasn’t “will I regret it”?😳 simply wondering if there are other “regretful” fellows and ladies who have started a thread regarding this. Life’s not always the way we want it . So the circumstances that we may have been experiencing at the time , that basically made it necessary to let go of a VW as well as many things are irrelevant now and therefore I search. Hoping to finish what I started. Ya dig? _________________ 1968 type 1 (green goblin) sun roof

I lost count of how many I’ve owned some for just a few hours as they changed hands. I’ve let some nice ovals and early type 2s slip away. I can see where some would get sentimental though I had a camper that saw a lot of action if you know what I mean. Maybe it’s better gone probably smells like bathroom door on a tuna boat. |

To answer the OP question, yea there have been threads on the subject. I've never seen one result in a find, though. |
