Cool....... I had a 1970 Karmann Ghia coupe. The chicks really dug that car for some reason.

I've been into oldbug.com for close to 20 years. Lot of good info there.

Guy's I've known since the 70's are still into bugs today, I think it's a cult...

My FIL built quite a few bugs of all types many years ago. My wife’s first car was a 56’ Oval window with a 2180 and painted hot pink/raspberry. He swore it would lift the front tires off the ground. I couldn’t get used to the roller gas pedal and didn’t want to jack it up.. He had a few features in VW magazine.
I’ll see if @Jumppack JB has some pics. His wife drove and showed their drag race VW for awhile.

Uncle JB found em’

Yup... building a bad ass 61' sliding ragtop street killer now... 330HP turbo, KCR bus trans with IRS to swing axles conversion ( narrowed 6 inches and raised 3 inches ) full cage, should be a legit mid 10 second street car .
