So over the the winter I decided for several different reasons I didn't wanna race my little dirt car anymore. Sold it to a guy from Alabama who came up and got it around valentines day.

A few weeks later I'm driving around, minding my own business and this little blue car follows me home from over an hour away!







It's a '72 Super Beetle. It's been in Ohio, stored indoors since 1991 and driven a few hundred miles since 91. Before that it lived in SC, where I have repair receipts going back to the mid 80's. The car isn't perfect, original interior needs a make over and the old, low quality repaint job needs redone properly. When that's done pretty much all of the body rubber needs replaced from just sitting so much the last 20+ years.

I've always thought Baja Buggies were cool.

I've always liked them. I had my senior pictures in HS taken with my 74 Beetle, then a few years later I had a '66. The Super I have now is the most solid and rust free Beetle I've had, and I won't be driving this one in the winter so it'll actually stay solid.

Won't be many real noticeable changes. I like VW's as close to stock as possible. Eventually it'll have fresh paint (same color, this is it's original color), fresh body rubber, trim and interior.

I'm not a big fan of cutting these things up. Give me a fully restored to original condition early 60's Beetle over any of those.

"Give me a fully restored to original condition early 60's Beetle"

At least 65+ when they started using bearing shells on the mains.
