I had to buy his 1969 VW Auto bug also--had to take them both --- for $900.00.<BR/><BR/>I traded the bug to the VW repair shop for parts and credit for future repairs.<BR/><BR/>We took the bus to Eureka Springs, AR one year on a day trip. Lil Jim and Sara would hide on the floor going up the hills because it was so slow.<BR/><BR/>I could never keep clutches in the car and it had major rust issues on the left side. Other than that it was unrestored and all the parts were there except for the tent. <BR/><BR/>I sold it to a doctor who flew down from Omaha NE and drove it back. I think I got $1500.00 out of it. I got photos of it somewhere.<BR/><BR/>It was another one of those vehicles where the memory of owning it was better than the reality of owning it.Busplungehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15330613997333646488noreply@blogger.com
