I have it for sale now but hopefully that will change soon. I may have it worked out so I can keep her.

Oh by the way my name is Mike and I am from Lewisville, NC. This is my 10th Aircooled VW.

Hey, I am Scott and I am just lurking for now but saving up for an oval. I used to have a '67 bug in high school but sold it like an idiot. The only VW I drive now is a 2006 GLI.

My name is Marc and I live in Winston Salem, NC now. Originally from Phoenix, AZ. Used to hang out with the CE gang a bunch. I bought my first bug at 19, a super clean '67, then got a crappy lowered '60, then a '61 ragtop, then a 64 bus and then a 64 bug.. My wife had a really clean 61' ragtop, all OG and then someone stole and stripped it. Got it back 6 hours later, all the parts gone. My wife Kelly and I met because we both had 61 ragtops at the time.

This is my latest project. Have been VW less for about 6 years now, ready to get back into the 'lowback'.

Welcome everyone, long time lurker and only posted a few times.

I bought my 57 Oval several years ago as a rolling chassis and full of '66 parts, so it's far from original but come a long way!

I just had the interior done and the only thing left is to finish the winshield wiper motor assy.

Motor/drive train:
2275 w/ 48s
Rancho tranny

Interior:
Carbon fiber head liner
Seats, light gray w/ carbon fiber inserts
Floor covered w/ German Square Weave

Good to meet everyone and look forward to seeing your Ovals on the road,
Vinny

Hello everybody, my name is Eric and this is my first oval "Mavis" she's a 56 ragtop. She was for sale on here and I scored her for less than $5k. She used to be a Baja sometime in her past and has been clipped which I'm sure destroys the value but I don't care, she's still an oval rag and I'm just enjoying the hell out of her and bringing her back to life. This is the state she was in when I picked her up.

I'm Bill from St. Charles, MO and I own eight old VWs, two are Oval era Beetles. This is my unrestored, mostly original paint June 1955 Deluxe Sunroof which went on the "Return To The Fatherland Tour" from L.A. to Wolfsburg and back in 1999:
