My former rides

[The Mad Modeller]

Here are a couple of the VW's I owned.

1st up is my baby. She was a lil rough when I got it but what she lacked in looks she made up for in how she ran. Had a VW engine with 88mm pistons and 2 bbl Weber carb. Header with stinger and a close ratio shifter. I terrorized the local drag strip for a couple years with it. It finally got to the point of being unsafe to drive. I sold it for parts but kept the shifter.

Baja bug I drove while gathering parts for the other one


I wish I could find another decent Bug. I miss the fun I had driving one.

Those are cool Bobby ! What about that cutlass in the backround ? was that yours ? Rick

[The Mad Modeller]

Cutlass was my Mom's. Had about 45,000 miles on it when she bought it. Was a 76 or 77. I had a 75 Cutlass Supreme that went like a tank in the snow.

I had a 76 that I put a 455 in from a 70 vista cruiser wagon . Car ran really good .

You still got the shifter? I'm still looking for parts for my 60.
