I owned a legit ACAPULCO, bought from the original owner back in 2001. Wish I'd never sold it. I am about to buy another one.
VIN # 184 2 543 107
Current owner bought 23 years ago in Newport Beach. Its a little rough but will be fun to clean up.
I will keep you posted.

Does anyone else remember seeing or renting one of these, there were a number of Acapulco's on the road on Oahu Hawaii in the mid 70's? They were clearly rental cars at the time 1975-78 ish you would see them at the tourist stops, Hanauma Bay, Sandy Beach, Makapuu etc. I remember thinking who designed the tops for these VWs, and why that choice of colors. I'm sure someone else remembers and may know what business had them as a rental car. I didn't see them resurface in the "local" market afterwards, wonder what happened to them.

One of my coworkers remembers his family renting one on a vacation to Hawaii when he was young. He didn't remember much detail about them, unfortunately.

Here is the proof. This is me in 1975 in Honolulu Hawaii. We rented this Acapulco for a week from Budget ( notice the decal on the side ).
They had blue versions as well as yellow.
