Here’s a shot from the early 90s. That’s my 64 DC, not sure what year Baja and my 65 standard. I also had a 60s deluxe (OG paint) bus next to the 65

i paid $285 for the DC. $150 for the standard, $600 for the Baja and $75 for the deluxe

I drove the standard w my gfriend out to the outer banks, NC through Chicago (where my brother lived) and upstate NY to visit my parents where they made me park it in the garage so the neighbors wouldn’t see it and left a great oil stain on the floor of their new garage. Ha

I was pulled over by the heat several times on that trip, never got a ticket but was searched a few times and def harassed.
I remember watching police cars going the other way on the hwy turn around erratically to speed back to pull me over. Hahahaha

Other great stories from this trip will have to surface again

Not a vw or even a car, but we found this guy in pics from my wife’s family stuff 🙂 His name and relation is lost to time, nobody knows him…

Guessing from his clothes it’s turn of the century but if it was 50’s I know he would be driving a single cab.

G’day from Australia!

My 1st Beetle we built when I was 15 (1996)……..

1965 Bug, shaved trim and bumpers, 1 piece glass, wide fibreglass guards and bonnet, Parked beside my Mum’s superbug and my sisters ’64.

After a move out to the country and an incident with a tree, we rebuilt it into my first Baja in 1998….
