| I found this one recently inside a house in Philadelphia. Original color appears to have been Strato Silver. I'm debating stripping it and repainting it. Theres plenty wrong with it that needs corrected if I go that route. |

Was found in Boulder City, NV.
PO was the type of guy who never sold anything. When his estate was being settled I bought it from his son-in-law. A real nice guy who let me stay there all day to search for any other VW related parts lying around. Apparently the PO was a hippie who at one time slept in the car. Last registered in 1975 and in pretty original shape, just covered in old clothes, mattress pad remnants, and feathers.

I've wanted a bug eye for a long time and spent the last few years looking for "The One"
What year was yours?
Do you still have it? |

VolkFanJefe - It is a 54. I do still have it. But it looks a little different.
