I'm on my 2nd NB now, but I had a few OBs too. My last one was a '68 w/ a mostly Gene Berg parts 1776cc double Dellorto screamer. It was faster than my '98 NB (2.0L/5 spd) which I had at the same time for a few months. I just got tired of wrenching on the old ones and not having A/C or very good heat. I would like to have an old air-cooler again someday, but maybe a Ghia next time. You will find many people here who currently own both OBs and NBs.
