This is my friends AAR Cuda can't remember what year the car was 70 or 71.We were at a small local dragstrip,and thats me in front.My VW and I came home that day with a trophy,he came home with nothing.Wish I bought that car now. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

Gary, awesome man!
I especially like the '68 Baja bug and the '55. Any plans of restoring that little beauty in the future? Over here the Beetle is still a very popular car with quite a few clubs. Every year there is a big VW reunion on the market place in the town next to ours... Definitly some real beauties to see there. ------------- - Gun control means: using BOTH hands! - Money doesn't make one happy, but when it rains cats and dogs, it's still better to cry in a Porsche than on a bicycle... |

Kristof, unfortunately it's long gone.Now days your better to buy one that someone else spent all the money to restore.I don't follow the VW scene anymore but I know Europe is a hot bed of activity for VW's.That one was an European model,it had the semifores in the door posts,which the US ones did not.
Here is the last car I ever did,it kind of cured me
