Congratulations Rob!
That is one beautiful Split. One of my favorites.
I'm glad you got it back.

Thanks for the kind words, guys. I can't believe I got a second chance at the car. Big thanks to Randy Carlson for helping to make it happen.
I feel like I'm the luckiest guy on earth. |

It's tough to pick just one, but this has been one of my favorites for a good, long while.

Wow! The 46 rollback split sure got my attention! I wanted one of them for a long long time!
I like different cars for different reasons. I saw a black 1952 zwitter split ragtop once that took my breath away! it was perfect! Black splits are way cool!
The patina unrestored cars have that way cool vintage look like some of the ones posted! I also love to see split beetles as found tuck away in corners of barns or garages! |

This one was pretty cool. Too bad it got totaled.

Is this the split that was also hit when the BD single cab got hit not long ago?
Scary. |

Are there any threads about the accident? All I could find were the pictures. Hopefully everyone came through OK.
