Caught the fever while y’all were restoring my Dad’s 60 SC. Bought in Albuquerque from original owner about seven years ago. Slowly turning into a fake weekender.

Aramis has been helping me with VWs since he could hold himself up.

I  headed to FL this weekend to buy my first aircooled VW back from my buddy, ruby red 62. Just something about a good solid bug! I’ll post some pictures when it’s on the trailer.

If there was one in particular I’d like to get back it would be this one

Built by a guy in Golden, where it wound up as a magazine feature car, then changed hands twice before I got it. It is in Denver now and well taken care of by the young woman (and her father) who bought it to race in the High School Drag Racing program.

Here’s old red at my buddies place, probably hasn’t been driven in 5 years. He added the porta walls not me, ha!

For an east coast rig this thing was really straight and solid.
