the first VW I ever owned, a 71 superbeetle. I was ripped off REAL BAD. I just got into VW's and didn't know anything. The guy sold it to me for $4500! there was some serious body rot and engine problems...
This is a 66 split I bought off the guy who made that ghia/bus/pickup, you guys see him around southern CA a lot. i forget what you call it. anyway, I traded it for this because I couldn't put in the money and effort to restore it
73 beetle with early fenders and aftermarket rag top. Great shape, no engine, I sold that.
Somewhere in between the 73 "rag" and the 66 split I bought this 66 hardtop. Again, good beetle, but I had to sell it to run away to philadelphia and be a vagabon for a few weeks until I got to california. (thanks to a strong 86 diesel golf that died the second I sold it)
Then I bought this 77 westy at a salvation army auction (thanks to ebay) this was the first and last time i ever used ebay to buy a car. It's in good shape, very complete, except for the muffler, and heater boxes. But this is is sitting in my driveway getting fatter by the second. But I'm trading it for a Notch.
And, to pay for the resto of the notch, I am selling this squareback which I currently drive daily:
this square is amazing, seriously the most ligit, complete, mechanically and cosmetically sound VW I've ever owned. It's a 68, I've only owned it for about a month, I'd hate to sell it but I've had a hard on for a Notch ever since I sold that super 3 years ago. And now I'm searching for a daily driver beetle to use while I'm working on the notch (or an oval or a split bus)
