    anyone have a old vw?

    well i might be getting a 1964 vw beetle. its pretty nice, going to try work a deal out with my grandpa on it. it will be my vehicle for running to town and daily things like that. possibly make a baja buggy out of it. would be nice for camping also. it used to be my mothers car for a while but my grandpa owns it now, but for $1000 i should jump on it.

    talked to the owner today, the 64 bug has a 68 body on it. new engine, needs the carb rebuilt but he will do it. it does have some rust but not very much, I will be working out a deal with him soon enough. i want the car pretty bad.

    No trikes. Too old, too crippled. Unless I find one I can't live without!

    He ended up selling the car with his "little" cam in it @ 260hp... with his really nasty cam, it was building 340hp but breaking lots of tranny parts he said... All steel car, (shell of a car) on a custom moly tube chassis....

    I love old cars, my granpa has a 57 mercury, and my other grandpa has a 67 dodge short box. both nice vehicles.
