My Other 74 Super Beetle.

This car was too nice to drive! Everytime I took it out I was worried that it would get hit, or scratched, or stolen.
I loved it, but eventually sold it to a nice guy in Oklahoma. He still sends me updates from time to time!

Thank you

Pretty neat. I had a 68 bug that I bought in college for 400 bucks. That was in 1978.

[@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs]

Those were the days. In the late 80's I bought many Beetles and Busses for less than $100 in running but rough shape. Crazy to see the prices now.

Nice VW😊

[@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs]

Thanks! It was a great car that has moved on to a new owner. I miss it!

I have owned 3 VW Bugs over a period of about 15 years, but none of them was a Super Beetle. I had a '69, a '70, and a '72. The '69 was basically just a cruiser, something to enjoy driving around in. The '70 was a full blown drag race car. $$$$ of Gene Berg parts. The '72 was a hot rod, 1776 engine, dual Webers, and a bunch of other stuff. I finally had to give up VWs. I live near Phoenix, AZ, and the temperatures during the summer average 110-112 degrees F. I just turned 65, and have some medical issues. I have to have A/C during our long hot summers. And there is just no way to put A/C in an air cooled VW. You have to run them really rich in the summer just to keep them from melting down. Literally rich to the point of fouling plugs.

I've owned a few as well, but the heat here isn't as bad for sure. Elevation? Well, that's a big problem instead. Different jets and a lot of power loss up here.

I agree, I love the old muscle cars but honestly and I have heard you state this in the past, I could never afford anything like that. An old Datsun, Cavalier or mini Toyota truck is more my speed! Thanks for sharing.

[@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs]

Right? I'd love to play with an old Datsun 510 Pickup, or an original Mazda truck. Way more fun to have than a Mustang.

[@Jeff_Seely]

Very nice. How about the old Plymouth duster? That's a forgotten one. A fair amount of people would like to forget about it but not me. Cheers brother

[@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs]

Love the idea! I was toying with fixing up a Dodge Omni 024 (the two door) they apparently made a version with Detomaso badging!

[@Jeff_Seely]

That would be something really special!

thanks

[@NCLong]

How much you thinking?

[@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs]

This one already sold- Sorry- it was an older video

[@wesoblander3648]

Eric, that was a very nice Bug. For future reference, where did you purchase the seats?

[@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs]

CP1 was the kit that the entire interior came from.
