Dubfan · Posted: Sun Apr 22, 2012 2:49 am Post subject: My 64 Split

In 1980 I could not sell this super dry Split for $1,200aud, end up selling her for
$1,000aud to a mate! Had some great fun in her, had some great trips and would
hate to think what she is worth now!

Here she is when I purchased her with 15s and og hubcaps, then when I sold her with wide 14s.

My mostly OG 73 bug, 68k on it, had it 7 years. Sold it because I was 22, needed to go to grad school, had another vehicle too that was more reliable and had no money or time for it. Miss it every day.

Out of all my VDubs I regret selling these in the ealy 80's to the Japanese......What they paid me was the most money I ever saw as a teen, so it clouded my judgment.

Does the '54 RHD cabriolet that originally belonged to my great grandfather in Jamaica count? My great aunt sold it about 10 years ago because she didn't want to trouble me with a drive to Florida to come get it Sad

I wish I knew what happened to it.

Ok here we go....
First regret: 1964 micro, one respray over OG grey and OG paint on top....Stupid and impatient and sold it because it had some drillrail rust on one side, about 3 feet of it....Knowing what i know now I could have fixed it....The flipper I sold it to cut it up..... Shocked

Second one: OG Iceland Green 55 Oval, sold it to a newbie, he got impatient and cut it up too....Jesus.
