It's in supprisingly good shape, and I payed next to nothing for it, and even got a second complete engine with it.

Hello, Look at the money you will be saving in monthly payments,gas and insurance!

You got yourself a wise investment....you can still sell it for what you paid...right! How many cars you buy today..that happens.

A wise man puts his hard earn money in smart places..........VW is only a form of trans-port-ta-tion.....cheaply......smart move....Aloha

I beat you to that joke at the gas station yesterday. My friend drove me up to Wisconson to get it, and I stopped at the gas station, he said "whats up" and I said i needed to get a couple gallons of Beetlejuice.

:p

Now that would really throw people for a loop. I can imagine that car pulling up blaring some Skinny Puppy or Naked Raygun.:supcool:

PUNCH BUGGY!

*hits arm and runs off* :CTF:
Giggles... around here we call it SLUG BUG!

I'm actually jealous, finding a 72 beetle in that good of shape and an additional engine to boot... those were damn good cars then and still are now.
Might be a might tuff to find parts for it but then again maybe not. Still those were really well made automobiles.
WHY VW company decide to stop production and then restart (with an uglier version) is a mystery to me. The engine in the back is what gave that little bugger it's traction during the winter and other slicken-slide areas... (like off road mud trails... :D ). The front trunk had loads of room. Now they got it backwards... oh well.

Congrats on a good choice.

SWEET! Techno!

I think the Dice should stay, it is part of your stealth and disguise work. ;)

As to the Beetles being a nice car, they were. The real problem was that even the basic emission laws in the late 70's these things could not meet and until recently if you wanted one you had to go to Mexico and bring one back.

So I hope there are no local emissions stations you have to pass. And if you do it being over 30 years old maybe you could get Historic wavier for it. :)


PS: Do you keep the spare engine up front in the truck? :lol:

I'm worried about that actually, because the cutoff in Illinois is 1968... so I will be required to test... dunno how it will pass.

Cool car.... A classic.... I use to work on them

But based on the picture and like most old beetles, I doubt it still floats so stay out of lakes and streams stay on the road.
