I want this...

I feel strangely drawn to this.
I wonder if the shifter works...I think if the shifter was in and the rear door windows were there (fixed or rolling) I'd buy it.
This makes me think of Kyle for some reason....
LOL...

Of course you want it.  You need to go buy it.  It looks like the one a few years at a BP ? :o 8)

Looks like an easier start than this guy had. I read his story a few years ago after seeing the one at BP. I like his but that one at BP that had the driver exposed (used a vert for the front) and the passengers were in a sedan was really cool. I've always wanted to build something like this. I hope you get it!

OK, OK..
In all seriousness, if I had a shop I'd "dew it", but I have a guy comming on Saturday to look at Bert the Vert. IF he buys it I have a lock on a pretty nice '70 single cab.
I have been wanting a truck, soooo hopefully I can parlay the vert into a single cab.

I can see that Bert will have to sit in the garage this winter.  It is a blast to drive, but I really want a truck.

The truck is pretty cool.

Everyone say a prayer for me...

I hadn't seen it in this light.  Thanks for opening my eyes.
My wife describes the Limo Bug as a D-I-V-O-R-C-E  (to quote Tammy....)
I do not even think that I could turn that thing around in my Driveway....
Thing... Things are good... maybe I need a Thing?
Did I ever mention that I have ADDH... AHDD... ADHD and oh heck I believe I'm dyslexik... Dyslexic...
Oh crap I give up.

My goal is to own one example of every type of AC VW that was sold in the US.
-Beetle - Check, check, check, kcehc (rhd).
-Beetle Vert - Check
-Type 2 camper - Check, check, check.
-Ghia - Check.
-thing -  :-[
-411 / 412 - well maybe not.
-type 3 - close but Russ beat me.

Am I missing any thing here?
Also, I wouldn't mind having one example of every year the AS was offered, just to say I have a complete collection.... (This will neccessatate the building of a larger garage though...)

I needed a vacation to formualate my plans....
LOL,
