Default OMG...This has got me wanting a Bug

Tell me this bug hasn't got "right on brother" written all over it.

Nicely done Bug! I have a soft spot for Bugs. My first car was a '63 Bug.

I'm so glad you guys appreciate the old VWs, even though the Berlin Buick retains little of the air cooled charm. As a kid I rode around in my dad's 67 Beetle and was always curious when he was working on it. We always had a few of them laying around the yard and I developed my own VW collection by my late teens. I sold them all the week I brought home my first 68 Camaro. I rekindled the love when I started racing Formula Vee's in the early 2000's.

I have always wanted one myself. Growing up my Dad always seemed to have two of them in the driveway. One being his everyday car and a junker for parts. The junker was always unlocked and I spent many an afternoon being behind the wheel pretending to drive it. Great memories!!! Rob

I saw that car last year at Hot August Nights in Reno...it is fantastic. Has a 215 aluminum Buick and straight pipes, sounds wicked.

Thank you Sir for that link. The rest of the car screams the same high end design and implementation as the topside. I love the Buick dash, drive line and of course those Buick Special portholes that tie it all together on the outside.

Wicked wicked car!
