 |
|
Howdy Samba family!
I'm new to aircooled, but not to Volkswagens.
I recently just picked up a 1972 Squareback for super cheap. It runs and drives well, but needs a little bit of interior and body work. i was super surprised with the car!
Im located in tustin, so if anyone sees a grey squareback rolling around orange county, thats me!
ill post pictures when i get legit ones taken this week.
cheers |

Might as well drive a cool collector car than a new plastic car! Maybe some new stainless side trim?

ANOTHER OC Squareback?!?! I don't think any of our driveways can hold another squareback but you're more than welcome to come to one of our mini-meets. We get together every so often and either work on the squares, grub, or both. I hear the Lewis Gang hangs out in Tustin. They drive Squarebacks...
