This is Herman, my "new" '71 Super Beetle.

Back in 1975, a '71 SB was my first ever car. I loved that bug, and had been missing it ever since. I was lucky to find Herman for $600 with a newly rebuilt motor, trans and front end. NO Super Beetle shimmy!

Plans for this spring are new interior and paint.

Once the kids are out of college, and I've got more time on my hands, I'll be looking for a split to redo.

I'll post pics of Herman's progress.
