Here is what we drive when not in the New Beetle

Very nice looking rides. But my favorite would have to be the air-cooled one - it looks flawless & authentic.

Thanks, Just dont look at the front seats and it is almost back to stock She has been through a few refreshes since Ive had her

[Lnzbug]

I agree, that air cooled is excellent! But that hemi is hubba bubba too

[vwgary]

Love the OB too. Can't see the taillights but it has to be between a 58 and 62. Nice collection tho I wouldn't want to pay your monthly gas bill

[Fowvay]

Congrats on the one and my sincerest condolences on the other two.

i agree with tom... love the bug. ive got two now myself and lookin for a bus to fiddle with...

[pmrl75]

Here is another shot of the air cooled before I painted the wheels of course

[vwgary]

Taillights rule out it being a 62 unless they're not OE.
Need to open the door so we can see if it has a gas gauge. No gas guage = 58 to 60

[pmrl75]

Here the dash

[vwgary]

Very nice 58 to 60 bug. Nice clean dash too

[raff]

Twin outlet extractor? Anything else interesting back there?

[pmrl75]

Its a '60

Ive had it for around 20 years..... since I was 13

[Ghia_Roadster]

i was fixin to say a '59 but weve already solved the riddle fiddle here...

[vwgary]

Looks great. I probably shouldn't say it too loudly, especially around here but I just came th-------is close to trading the NB for a 56 oval rag I certainly love me the OB's

You won't get $50K out of an oval rag unless it's a 55 or older 3 fold rag. The 56-57 (two folds) pretty much top out at $30K for a very nice restoration. I gave this swap serious consideration especially since it already had a 1835 with twin Webers and I'd be able to retrofit A/C and not lose a bunch of power. Exterior was servicable but the interior was shot. I used to love restoring them and would gladly assist someone else, but at this point, I didn't want a project on my hands.
Plus, I love my NB
