This is a follow up to my post from April 2019 titled My First VW and posted in the Beetle 1958 to 1967 Category. I went from one to eight in four months. The first one I bought was the light brown colored 1971 standard beetle. I call it the suitcase because it contains a 2180 and transmission with only 800 miles on them. It had been parked for 20 years. It now runs good but needs a lot of work. So I bought the 1972 and 1976 standards for parts. Then I found a complete 1966 to use the engine and trans in the original pan. I got it started but the engine knocked. So, I bought the 1967 Baja so I would have something for the summer. Then came the 1976 sand rail followed closely by the black 1965 Dune Buggy. This is mainly an introduction to these vehicles. I will get into more detail as I start working on them. I currently have the (pretty much) complete 1966 in the shop. I will start with it first but in the 1958 to 1967 category. Work on the sand rail and dune buggy be posted here. I had to go back to work this summer to replenish my foxy pocket after this spree. Enjoy the pics. Charlie
