I was a very stupid 16 year old when I owned my first car ...1972 powder blue beetle. I rolled it in an ice storm on Christmas Eve on my way home from waitress job. My father banged out the roof. I paid to have the frame straightened. It looked bad but I drove it for 2 more years!!! Loved it!!! I want to buy a new "classic" 72!
Thank you! Wow! You have nice cars! I get you though... something about a little bug... it’s really dreamy! ♥️ very different look and drive. Hope you get a bug to add to your collection some day!
Yes stately in its simplicity and the operator was not vexed by an overabundance of esoteric meters and gauges which simply confuse and not enlighten. I always almost always enjoyed my VW save in winter when I discovered that the heat exchangers had rusted out or when the muffler rusted through or when the battery died every two years. But I did enjoy the driving excitement of when the front end shooked and shimmied like a WW2 bomber flying through flak. Those were the days!
@@Jordanmilo I was lucky and had a couple of stout lads push the car and then I snapped into first gear. It was time to drive on over to VW for another battery. It was a chore having the battery under the rear seat.
@@lisedumasrichard903 Well, Enrique means that the bodies for the convertibles were made by Karmann coachbuilders. There was at least one other convertible body maker, but I don't remember the name and I don't know that they ever massed produced, either. By the way, here's an old joke: "How do you say 'rust' in German?" "Karmann!"

The exact name is VW 1302 Cabrio. It was not only available in 1972, but also with other years of construction
Your Bug is absolutely awesome on every level.
1971 was the first super and there after.

I recently posted a short video of me driving it and at the end I show the seats a little more but quickly.

Does the gas heater work
No I don’t think it does. I don’t drive it in winter so I haven’t tried it.

And don't forget that when the battery died it was under the rear seat, which made jump starting and/or replacement a real pain in the ass!
