Any old VW fans???

N2 GOLD · 03-17-2011, 04:17 PM

Any-1 here like, love or have old VW Splits or Ovals??? Anything 57 & older...

Here is my current project I'm working on. It is from august 1953. This hace become a life time project. With a wife, kids & all the things that come with being an adult. They all really take your time & money making it hard to complete.

Nice car. I have a 72 Super Beatle that me and my dad have been restoring should be on the road this summer. i have pics on my phone but cant seem to get them on here

I like them, but I am more a watercooled VW and Audi fan.

Old to me is 2003.......

I would love to have an old restored Westfalia, but not enough to pay what it would cost me.

Lumpold · 03-18-2011, 08:13 AM

Yes, love 'em!

You SoCal'ing it, I presume?
I'm more of a combi/camper fan... If I weren't house hunting, I'd be snapping up my buddies splitscreen for resto... well, I would if I could afford it!

My first car was a black 63 bug. Used to love to "race" corvettes on the interstate. With that said, it was no surprise that I got my first speeding ticket with my VW ... 80 in a 70 mph zone. Tought I could talk my way out of it by telling the patrolman that this bug wouldn't go 80 mph.

68 Squareback (AKA, "The stabin' Cabin") with a 2 liter stroker motor, when it wasn't on fire it was ON FIRE! I loved that car and used to run it at the Bug Ins at OCIR a half million years ago. I also had a 65 bus with the reduction gears stripped and and 1800, it was fun too.

Very nice project you have going!

NICE, I had a 62 bus/truck I sold a few years back. I just did not have the time or $$ for it & it hurt when I sold it...

You should also check out THESAMBA.COM for parts. That is a very similar site to this one(CA)

I still want one of those 23 window buses, or whatever they are called. The ones with all of the windows that open up.

Edit: Here's a link to one. It's just bad azz. http://www.leftcoastclassics.com/1966-vw-21-window-bus/

2-tone is the only way 2-go with it...

I was born in '57 and like VWs- I guess that makes me an old VW fan.

Perhaps you meant 'any fans of old VWs?'

Although he's young, my BIL has a VW Thing that he restored to all of its glory. Looks great! Just waiting for a ride in it.
