FREE 1975 Super Beetle Convertible

« on: January 23, 2016, 03:30:08 PM »
I had dreams of a cool rat rod, but I have to face reality.  It ain't gonn'a happen.  Plus, the City of Lafayette says a year is long enough.  It's gott'a go by next Friday.  Anyone want it?  I hate to just have it crushed.

Anyone that wants it needs to come get it.  I never got the tires on it and my grandson and his buddies pulled it back into the burnt debris.  It'll probably need to be moved on a rollback or at least a car trailer with a good winch.  I would love for to leave here today.  Anyone interested, call me.  423-605-9816.  It's located at the corner of South Main Street and West Main Street in Lafayette, GA 30728.

I've also got a bunch of free scrap metal if anyone wants it.  It's all got to be gone this week!

I have two people in line for it.  I think it's leaving here today . . . but if both of these fall through, I'll let y'all know.

 :( Well, Sunny the Super Beetle has moved on to greener pastures.  Look for it at Bug-A-Paluza.  It'll be the convertible with LOTS of patina.  Joy bought him from Alvin Vaughn back around 1995 or 96.  He took us on lots of fun adventures over the years and we had big plans for traveling all over the country in him once we retired, but our garage fire last January changed our plans.  I'm looking forward to seeing him back on the road, even if it isn't in all his former glory.  You can't keep a good bug down. 8)

I think it's in good hands. We had a busy day yesterday going around picking up free bugs! We started with Zen's place before snagging a baja body and another super later in the day. The super looks to be marginally better than Sunny did, but maybe with new pans and some brake work, it'll be a good pan swap candidate. The big question will be how much sunny will stay together when separated from the pan! We will see...

Seth said that Sunny will be at bugapaluza.. we will see about that!

Just like the power company I work for.  Bought a Nuke plant from the government for $1.  30 or 40 million later, it is finally finishing up the decommissioning.  Don't think it ever produced a single Watt.   :o
