How many members are VW guys

[jb1016]

Never had an air-cooled, but I love these pictures. I'm on my second VW, and I sell them for a living.

My 99 Passat V6 5-speed:



And the TDI Jetta I just leased for my wife...she's used exactly one quarter tank of diesel in two weeks It's rated 30mpg city/42 hwy.

I just bought my first chev, but am an avid vw enthusiast, having owned 15 to date, a couple in the driveway right now.

Our daily 07 2.0T, with a few add-ons and go fast goodies


And what the chevy will be towing

(68' squareback, full independent airride, with stock heat, and a bunch of other custom touches )

Love the monoblocks sundog. Welcome to the board.

[sundog]

Thanks! They're reps, but good enough for now. The car is currently stg1 and going stg 3 this summer (down pipe K04 swap, cts intercooler, etc), then I will look for a better set of wheels. Good enough for the gf to go shopping with for now lol.

Wow, I missed the thread on this. Well this is my 60' vert. I learned to drive on a 67' so my burn is still on. Featured on three mags, VW Trends, Volksworld, and VW Speed.

[sundog]

Very nice chakah. a t1 is basically the only thing I havent owned. Every time I see fuchs, makes me want to get one

Just found this thread. I've only owned one vw. A 1969 sweet car, wish i still had it
I traded this:


For this:

[SCHRUMGMC]

My old 1974

[thelonerife]

My 59 that I just got. It has a 62 pan and a 68 or 69 motor. Empi wheels and shifter. Disc brakes up front. Electronic ignition. Im fixing the little stuff on it now.

[yote1234]

count me in.... I have owned at least 24 vw's in the past 40 years on the road. square backs, beetles, rails, baja's, this is my latest purchase. 1969 beetle euro car. one re paint, zero rust! pics

[Russell Ashley]

I don't consider myself a VW guy but did have a 70 Beetle that I had a lot of fun with. It was long before digital cameras so don't have many pics, but here's one. I put flared fenders on it and had the wheels widened to match the additional width of the fenders. It had a Karman Ghia front suspension with disk brakes, and just about every other hop up or add-on that JC Whitney sold, LOL. People loved VW's back then but I never really considered them to be very good cars.

Aay don't have a VW as of now... But I hope to have a 65-66 one day! Love the wide 5 style and the larger side windows

[flashed]

I dont nor have I ever owned a VW but I have a set of 4 VW hubcaps ,does that count.

[Russell Ashley]

Funny story about when had my VW for sale. A guy called and said he was going to bring a friend who was a VW "expert" to check it out. They drove up the friend's tan 70 Beetle. The perspective buyer asked if it was OK for his friend to test drive it and I said fine, he's welcome to test drive it. They came back in about 20 minutes and got into a minor disagreement in my driveway, seems the "expert" wanted my VW and wanted the perspective buyer to buy his.

I had a 1970 VW T2a a few years back.
When you parked it somewhere, everyone talked to you about it.
I think everbody drove one of these back in the day in Europe





It was a very nice car, but everyone passed because it was so slow, so I wrote this on the back.
Now they understood

[SCHRUMGMC]

Finally got my Grandfathers '74 Volkswagen Beetle back

[theastronaut]

Changed the wheels on my '64 and I'm updating the 1679cc with ported/bigger valve heads, a bigger cam, better exhaust, and bigger venturis. Hoping to go from 90 hp to around 130-140.




Also bought a really solid and straight '63 Vert body. Found a pan for it and got it rolling, then stuck it in the barn to save as a future project.

Ya, I've owned a few...

67 I built & painted


61 in the foreground I built & painted. A 57 with a zero rust 2 owner in the background, original 36hp. Man that thing was a sweet driving/riding car.


My baby - 57 ragtop 76 Corvette yellow/white with gold pearl over the whole thing. 69 pan, original thermometer style fuel gauge. Had a bunch of other original accessories on it. The guy that bought it added the big wheels and put the side euro lights and Empi badge.


67 Deluxe with a 68 type III trans to get rid of the gear reduction boxes. Real 14" Porsche Fuchs off of a 67 912 I had. Later on I had polished the Fuchs but couldn't find a picture with them finished on the bus. Gene berg (RIP) 1776 engine.


A 61 I built for a buddy. Grafted in a ragtop sunroof, on a 69 pan. Light lavender with blue pearl over it
